Arms Of Ra

Arms of Ra is a postcore / sludge / hardcore band from Paris. Formed in 2007 by Pierre-Alain Roset, Heddy Omer and Pierre Caramia, they were later joined by Mathieu Lubrun and Simon Roger after several line-up changes. They released a self titled EP in 2009 independently which was later reissued by Swarm of Nails. Heddy Omer quit the band around the time but the band decided to continue as a four-piece. They then started working on a follow-up which came out in 2011 under the name of Unnamed on Swarm of Nails record. Feeling dissatisfied with having only one guitar, the band recruited Philippe Khallian, also from Lost in Kiev, on bass while Pierre Alain moved back to playing the guitar. After a few months, Philippe decided to quit and was replaced by Heddy. The five original member went on to work on a new EP. The songs were recorded in late 2013 and the new EP was self-released in 2016.
