Arsis - A celebration of guilt

[Hell Awaits Us All]

I recently got up this album and I am really digging it. Any thoughts?

 

[AchrisK]

Why are they celebrating quilts? Is it cold where they live?

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

LOL are you drunk? it's celebration of guilt with a G

 

[AchrisK]

I saw them with Necrophagist, and I thought they were boring and offered nothing to get excited about. But that was live and I was unfamiliar with them. I have imaginary friends who like them. I have not heard their recordings, so I can't say anything.

Yeah that's what I first saw too

As for Arsis, never listened to 'em

 

[Mort Divine]

The opening riff to The Face of My Innocence is great, aside from that they're very very not noteworthy.

A Celebration Of Guilt is their best.

I liked this album when I was more interested in the style. It starts to get boring after five or six songs. I heard that the 2nd album was a letdown, so I never looked into it.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

hey master, you going to suffo/immolation on the 29th of october?

 

[MasterOLightning]

Where is that show?

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

i used to really like that album but it got old for me. the 2nd song on it, i think its called maddening disdain, is really fucking good.

but i think their best song was on the ep - a diamond for disease....great song.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

maddening disdain rules

Complete agreement, Dave.

I think that record slays. I mean they aren't a good live band b/c every time i've seen them play, their drummer couldn't keep tempo which drives me crazy. But that record is like in the vein of Carcass Heartwork melodic death metal. Not lame like the triviums and blind colonies. So in that respect the album was a breath of fresh air. The first time I heard the Return, I was blown away. Such ferocious riffery. I will agree that for their sophomore full-length was a total disappointment and really was crappy.

Best DM album of the century so far, methinks.

 

[The Ozzman]

Best DM album of the century so far, methinks.

Definitely not the best.

 

[rfe]

It would be more appropriate to categorize it as Melodic Death Metal. But yes, that album is a perfect example of Amurrican Gothenburg done right.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Definitely not the best.

Oh, I'm sorry you don't think so.

Best MDM sure, but i'm not sure it would beat off some of the major DM contenders.
