STOCKHOLM SYNDROME OUT NOW
ARPH is a metallic hardcore band from Lake County California.
The name is a play on the (in)famous Arf call out used by many bands in the genre. ARPH was founded in 2024 when members of the grunge powerhouse, Amodium, teamed up with metal and punk scene veteran Aaron Moore.
ARPH released their self produced debut single, "Fashion Piece," in December of 2024 and released their debut EP, DOGFIGHT, May 16th 2025. They have since released two follow up singles, Dogpile and Para Mi Raza, and have a third, Stockholm Syndrome, releasing November 3rd, 2025.
ARPH blends politically charged lyrics and heavy riffs with self awareness and a tongue and cheek approach to how absurd and fun extreme music can be.
