Debut album from the Danish band gets their influences from everywhere, and they also know how to create their own sound with it. The guitarist Flemming C. Lund (Autumn Leaves, Invocator) plays his solo`s very convicing, while the drumbeast Morten Lowe Sorensen (Submission) fires his blastbeast like a madman. The style of The Arcane Order is somewhere between classic trash (mainly because of the riffs) and melodic death metal, but because of the many details, like gentle placed samples & keyboards, The Machinery Of Oblivion sounds very fresh. On top of that the singer Kasper Thomsen growls his lungs out from the start to the finish, but the music still stays catchy in a special way. This is really an album that every (modern) metal fan has to have! Metal Blade. 2006.
