THE ARK
PLUS EVERYTHING ON BLACK

Listen to the Ark now

Listen to Everything On Black now

With hit singles like "It Takes A Fool To Remain Sane", "Let Your Body Decide", "Calleth You Cometh I" and Father Of A Son, The Ark’s operatic glam rock sound has created a huge fan base since they broke out in the autumn of 2000. Fronted by the flamboyant lead singer Ola Salo, The Ark burst on the scene in the aftermath of the "brit pop/shoe gazing" pop era. They arrived in a firework of flashy own-designed outfits, declaring open war to every written or unwritten law in the current Book of Rock. "We were sick and tired of everything that was supposed to be hip, cool and ironic. It just felt like a big mask people were hiding behind. And we never bought into that authencity bullshit either – that you somehow were more credible if you were going on stage in an anorak, looking completely emotionless. And that’s why we built The Ark as this big un-cool, un-hip thing, because for us it was always about expressing something bigger – we were looking for something larger than life", Ola Salo says.

With their third album, State Of The Ark, the band has taken a surprising step in a new direction. The result is an album jam-packed with the kind of irresistible riffs, melody hooks and energetic grooves most bands only dream of – in short, it’s the difficult third album made easy.
