Hailing from the fertile metallic Texas landscape, Arcane (USA) began its quest for glory in 1986, but it wasn't until 1988 that the group solidified their line-up and recorded their stunning 'Mirror Of Deception' demo. As the demo started making the rounds via the international tape trading circuit, the group honed their live chops performing alongside such homegrown outfits as Watchtower, Solitude Aeturnus and Helstar.

Arcane (USA) kept building their "band to watch" status by supporting touring national acts like Fates Warning, Sanctuary, Death Angel, Forbidden, Atrophy, and Method Of Destruction. In 1989, the group recorded a second demo tape that eventually secured them an album deal with the then upstart record label, Wild Rags. 1990 saw the release of 'Destination Unknown', Arcane (USA)'s forward-thinking debut album.

Despite garnering rave reviews from the heavy metal scribes of the day, and the band beginning to write new material for their follow-up release, the members of Arcane (USA) decided to go their separate ways. One final Arcane (USA) demo was released as the 'Ambiguity' EP in 1994.
