Arabesque is a metalcore band formed in 2016, the group currently consists of vocalist Evan Thornton, guitarist Bryce Ballinger, Guitarist Zach Bell, and drummer Jared Rainey. They are currently unsigned to any major record label, and opt to instead self-promote with smaller companies in order to maintain full creative freedom. Their official debut album "Crucible" features an eclectic cover of several different genres, spanning from post-hardcore, to deathcore

Style and influences
The band takes inspiration from several different bands and genres including Alesana, Bring Me The Horizon, Chelsea Grin, and Celldweller. With a strong focus on heavy riffs, groove-oriented drums, and wild, unconstrained vocals, Arabesque's primary goal is to provide a sense of catharsis through it's their lyrics. The name "Arabesque" derives from front-man Evan Thornton's fascination with Edgar Allan Poe, and the deceased writer's tendency to refer to his poetry as "arabesque" in nature.
