Arakain is a Czech heavy metal band formed in 1982 in Prague's Strašnice district. One of the longest-running acts on the Czech metal scene, the group has released over twenty studio albums and collected multiple gold and platinum records, along with the Anděl award in the hard & heavy category. Aleš Brichta fronted the band through the 1980s and 1990s; Jan Toužimský has been the vocalist since 2005, while guitarist Jiří Urban is the sole founding member still in the lineup.
The band released a single and music video "K zemi přibitej" (December 24, 2024) and in January 2025 added another single "Neztrácíme Náboj" - fans perceive both works as a harbinger of a new album.
The single "Rány" with a music video focused on combat sports was released in 2025 as another signal of the upcoming new album, the first since Jekyll & Hyde (2019).
Arakain and Alkehol announced a joint A+A Tour 2025 throughout the Czech Republic - Arakain celebrates 43 years on stage with it.
In November 2024, Arakain performed at the Prague O2 Arena.
In 2024, the band released the single "Sedm hříchů" and completed the A+A Metal Tour 2024 with Alkehol as well as the Monster Meeting project with fifteen stops.
