AraPacis (Ara-Patches) is a female-fronted metal band hailing from
Montreal, Canada. Formed in 2003 by guitarist Jerry Fielden, fronted by
Scots singer Michelle Macpherson, and supported by the keyboard wizardry
of ex-Rainbow member David Stone, their main goal is to re-create some
of the original aspects of 1970's Hard Rock and Progressive Rock and
fuse it together with 21st Century Prog Metal, Doom Metal & Metalcore to
make an interesting metal hybrid.
AraPacis have shared the stage with
acts such as Blaze Bayley, Uli Jon Roth, Anvil, Raven, the Agonist,
Doro, etc. They have now released 9 albums and 3 EPs. They have had
noted guests on their albums such as Guy LeBlanc (RIP) of Camel, Steph
Honde of Di'Anno and Hollywood Monsters, Don Airey of Deep Purple,
Rainbow, Jethro Tull, etc., Vinny Appice of Black Sabbath and Dio, Kayla
Dixon of Witch Mountain/Dress the Dead, and John Gallagher of Raven,
