Been a fan of Arsis since A Celebration of Guilt, loved everything but Starve for the Devil... I absolutely hated that album.
This is the the Arsis I remember though. Fucking heavy, melodic and shredtastic!
Also... The mix is pretty awesome! It feels a little soft on the low end, but the crystal clarity and upfrontness of everything makes up for it! So awesome, thanks for posting!
We intentionally omitted the apostrophe on the album cover for the sake of aesthetics and symmetry. The album is indeed entitled "Leper's Caress".
Zeuss mixed and mastered this one. We went for somewhat of an old school Swedish vibe with the guitars, etc, with a modern presentation. It was tracked in 7 days and written in about 2 or 3 weeks!
Love the couple vintage tracks that Jim wrote at Berklee on there. Awesome to hear them with stellar production and not on a tape and single velocity drum machine samples
