Meanwhile, they kept accumulating experience, rehearsing and creating themes.
From 2011, the project, initially called Black Rainbow, evolves and happens to be call Arcuri Overthrow, and they recorded several singles, compiled in an EP called "Inicio", with the participation of some Latin American rock stars, between them: Elkin Ramírez singer of Colombian hard rock band Kraken, and Hugo Bistolfi keyboardist of Argentine heavy metal band Rata Blanca.{{cite web|url=http://culturasubterraneametal.blogspot.com/2012/01/arcuri-overthrow-le-ha-dado-por-titulo.html|title=Arcuri Overthrow le ha dado por título a este primer EP "Inicio"|publisher=Cultura Subterránea|access-date=2017-08-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181016032627/http://culturasubterraneametal.blogspot.com/2012/01/arcuri-overthrow-le-ha-dado-por-titulo.html|archive-date=2018-10-16|url-status=dead}} (Spanish){{cite web|url=http://holymetal.webnode.es/news/entrevista-felipe-arcuri-arkangel/| title = Entrevista Exclusiva: Felipe Arcuri - Arkangel| publisher = Holy Metal}} (Spanish) Besides, they also collaborated: Andrew Vincze (Venezuelan vocalist of the Hungarian/Venezuelan progressive metal band Progness), and the string ensemble Akashiaft.
