While traversing the wilds of Eastern Europe, me and my fellow traveller through the foggy mists of musical limbo, Greg, have come across what can be best described as a bad acid trip that was all too real, decending the mountain like two heroic prophets with ascended consciousness we came across the population of a lord of the flies pre-school who chased us with stones and gibberish. Thus in our enlightened state we proceeded undeterred until we came across a goat and a Romanian pirate queen who treated us well. They bathed and fed us with mental nourishment. after gathering up our clothes and relighting the flames that showed the was home they were frequently blown out by the random weather and occaisional abuse of alcohol. We see our two brethern waiting at the end of all this with drums alight and guitar illuminated to once again enter the Asylum together, the goatboy and i agree we miss the steely cold dreary comforting walls. The inmates of our current prison show signs of a cult,
wake up,
Lazarus.

The Future of the Asylum803 days ago
 
With Arkham still on Hiatus i thought i might write something for the page and inform our beloved fans about what is going on , so im typing this while sitting beside a mirror so that i know our fan will read it. The plan is to still reform and arse about when everone gets back to town, and discussing it with the other members they all seem well up for it, hopefull this will lead to the writing and recording of some great tracks, here in The Balkan penninsula, in the shadow of many a lonely hill Greg has written so new and interesting stuff and he cant wait to unlesh it from here unto the populus of Limerick city, so with the best intentions for the future of the asylum i leave you for now, Please support the awesome Last days of death county, They are in respect to commitment and musical acumen exactly what i see Arkham seeking to achieve,
Peace out and as JC said, "wake up lazarus",

Arkham History918 days ago
 
Following the split of his band Coldheat in 2003, drummer Rob Kelly searched the underground Limerick city rock and metal scenes in search of members for a new band. In 2004, Kelly met Keith Kiely and Gary Lysaght, vocalist and bassist for Luminol. Although it would be another two years before any idea of a band would arise, the three hit it off as friends. In late 2006, the band started to come together. Lysaght took the role of playing guitar, while Kiely remained on vocals and Kelly on drums. The three searched for another guitarist to compliment Lysaght's guitar style and eventually Kiely found Greg Doyle, a friend from college and former guitarist for Roulette. The now four-member band took the name of "Arkham," a name proposed by Kelly after a fictional asylum for criminally insane in a comic book.

In early 2007 Arkham will go on hiatus as some members will be unavailable, but not before the band records demo tracks. The band will resume in 12 months so stay with us...

A Cell at Arkham - K. Kiely1045 days ago
 
In the dark moistness we wait,
who is there? who retreats to light,
The patter of tiny toes on the cold hard stone,
Maniacally playful, like the laughter of the one in front,
A million times before, a million more,
Liberated arms are now restrained,
We Crawl upon our bellys on the floor,
An insane dance to whispers of the brain

In the quiet snoozing we wait,
What is there? What retreats from light?
The jangle of a braclet chained echos down the hall,
rippling forth, from the one behind, whose face is still emotionless,
His tired legs are saving, waste no more,
On ceaseless clubbing on the doors round frame,
We fall upon our elbows beg for more,
The drops tick closer as the rain

At the back above the corner stone,
When is there? when approach the light?
The plucking of imaginary strings whisper silently,
pounding forth from the one on the left, whose wires are upright upon his middle vain,
The Blistered fingertips of the other wave forth,
Beckoning observers on waking from a dream,
We laugh at ceiling laughing back, our court,
Shall larger grow the steadier their pain

To the front creeping endlessly,
We are there! We Unto the light!
Collective ingenious shouts and clubs and plucks and laughter,
Loosing our binds, illuminating the blind darkness,
A multitude of hairy legs crawl upon their faces,
We slink out to bring all that we can,
This maniac, chaotic sound which reaches stone,
Shall travel on the rats back to open screams.

Thanks to everyone who has joined our site without even hearing what our band sounds like, reason being we have yet to get together an record any tracks. Truth is this site is more built up than the band at the moment but some music and more info will be on the way shortly. For anyone on myspace check www.myspace.com/arkhambandirl

Arkham asylum1094 days ago
 
In 1920, following the death of his mother, the brilliant psychologist Amadeus Arkham begins the conversion of his ancestral home into a hospital for the treatment of the mentally ill, little suspecting that he has set into motion a nightmarish chain of event and consequence.

Almost a century later, Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane is a place of dismal corridors and oppressive shadows. A bad dream house. A riddle in stone and timber, best left unsolved. For years, the demented and deformed have been imprisoned within these claustrophobic walls. In padded cells and unlit cellars, they have brooded and plotted, dreaming of a day when they might rise up and overthrow the world of reason...
