9,81 is a new track lifted from Belgian band The Arch's upcoming album Sanctuary Rat, set to be released on September 22nd, 2023 via Dryland Records. The band, hailing from Breendonk, Belgium, was formed in the summer of 1986 and has forged a notable path up to this point. This forthcoming album will mark their seventh in their discography, signifying a forceful reemergence.
