Category: ARKADO

Founded in the early 80s in Helsingborg, Sweden, as BB2 (Better Be Together), all over the decade Melodic Hard Rock / AOR band ARKADO performed their own music influenced but the likes Toto, Europe, Survivor, etc. The group recorded some demos, but disbanded 1988.
30 years after band dissolved, all members re-united, due to an inquiry of playing at a local arrangement. The magic was still there… Although a few members chose not to continue, the rest of the band remained eager to create fresh music. BB2 embraced a new identity and a new name: ARKADO.
In 2018, Arkado was formed, with some new additional members, and the songwriting process, started to proceed in a very good speed. Arkado released a very strong debut CD in 2020 via AOR Heaven, and an even better sophomore LP in 2024.
Now, next November 2026, ARKADO will release their third opus “Arkado III“, and we are featuring it in exclusive on 0dayrox.
The mastermind behind the ARKADO experience is keyboardist Mikael Svensson, whose songwriting artistry shines throughout the entire new work. We can safely say that ”Arkado III” captures the band at its finest, delivering eleven tracks brimming with unforgettable songs and soaring melodies. Just watch the advance video/singles below…
We can definitely hear some Europe and H.E.A.T influences in this new album… and that is undoubtedly a compliment! One of the best albums of the year…
