Sons of Arrakis (SOA) is a band based in Montreal formed in June 2019. The formation is fairly influenced by the universe of the Dune novels written by Frank Herbert. The members describe their own music as Melange Rock and Cinematographic Sci-Fi Rock which differentiate them from "the vast sea of stoner rock bands with their lightning armor-piercing torpedo" (Grotesqualizer, 2019).

To have a better idea of the members' background, they all have been involved in the Montreal scene in such bands as Blue Cheese, Prieur & Landry, The Hazytones and UUBBUURRUU. Francis Duchesne, the formation's guitarist, has been invested in the production of the band Les Deuxluxes, the famous Montreal rock'n'roll sensation.

Prior to the establishment of the group, Frederic Couture (The Hazytones) spent the first several months of SOA's existence to conceptualize the project, compose and write the first songs. In June 2018, Eliot Landry (Prieur & Landry) and Couture united in the studio to record the first EP, never released. After few months at the studio, Landry and Couture contacted Victor Lepage (Jimmy Target and the Triggers, Blue Cheese, UUBBUURRUU, etc.) to join his axe to the actual duo.
