They strived hard for creating something new, and their goal has always been to reach behind the normal concept of neither doom or death metal. This resulted in 2 demotapes as well as a live cassette EP, before they finally in 1998 recorded their debut album «Arcane XIII» which was released the year after by the Chilean label Picoroco Records.
Since then the band has developed the strength of the band, both in composing material and in the stage of performance.
The band has also opened for alot of more known bands, including everything from Napalm Death to Moonspell, also playing a lot of concerts in their home country as headliners.

W.C. Sea
Poema Arcanus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

See ! beachs totally desolated
Showered by a sickening liquid
Fecal materials and chemicals

Exterminate - all kind of life
The sea's got - it's funeral

Dense mixture of rotten scums

Stench in all...of the seabord

Millions of dead fishes - and shellfishes
The waves don't produce - any sound

Chorus
Swim ! - in your own shit
Drink ! - the fecal couliforms
Play ! - play in the wc sea

They were once blue waters
and now they're brown
Where fishes have to live

Excrements float on the waves
Tide has left - a putrid landscape

Chorus

Flies !! - flying and feasting
Whit the shit
Can you smell ?
The stench of our sea

Purification - is only a dream
We have to live - with this stenchy
Liquid putrid disease

Chorus

Overall Meaning

The song "W.C. Sea" by Poema Arcanus is a vivid depiction of the horrifying state of the oceans and seas as a result of human negligence. The song starts with the desolation of the beaches, which are now showered with sickening liquid consisting of fecal materials and chemicals, resulting in the extermination of all life forms. The sea has become a funeral ground, and the lyrics describe a dense mixture of rotten scums with an unbearable stench that has enveloped the entire seaboard. The waves produce no sound as millions of dead fish and shellfish float, and excrements float on the waves, leaving behind a landscape of putrid fecal disease.

The chorus is a haunting reminder of the situation, as it urges people to "swim in your own shit, drink the fecal couliforms, and play in the WC sea." The lyrics paint a picture of a once-beautiful blue sea, now brown and full of excrement, where fish are struggling to survive. Flies are everywhere, feeding on the shit, and the stench of the sea is overwhelming. The song ends with the realization that purification is nothing but a dream and that we must live with this stinky and putrid disease.

See ! beachs totally desolated
The beaches are completely empty and abandoned

Showered by a sickening liquid
Covered in a disgusting and unsettling substance

Fecal materials and chemicals
A mixture of waste and harmful substances

Exterminate - all kind of life
Destroy all forms of living beings

The sea's got - it's funeral
The sea is dying

Dense mixture of rotten scums
A thick and foul combination of decayed matter

Stench in all...of the seabord
A strong and unpleasant odor that pervades the entire coast

Millions of dead fishes - and shellfishes
Countless numbers of deceased aquatic creatures

The waves don't produce - any sound
The ocean is eerily silent

Chorus
Repeated verse

Swim ! - in your own shit
Bathe in your own waste
