AraPacis
AraPacis was formed in 2003 by guitarist Jerry
Fielden, with the current lineup stabilizing a few years
later.
They debuted in 2006 with
So Many Leapers,
a work best described as light gothic metal/rock,
not nearly as grandiose as many bands in the gothic
metal camp, as instead there are noticeable nods
to 80s hard rock, giving them an original edge.
Shelsey Jarviss vocals are clear and confident,
arguably not terribly metallic but nonetheless a selling
point here (one vague soundalike, and this might be
a stretch, might be Hearts Ann Wilson).
The production is thin (particularly where the guitars
are concerned), perhaps not surprising given
that this is most likely a self-financed effort.
This is a band still getting its feet wet, but theres
a lot of promise here, and more power to bands
like AraPacis that stray from the fad of the moment.
