New Arsis Song

[billyneverdies]

These guys are my favorite tech/extreme/melodic death metal band.

Check it out for yourself.

I love tech death but these guys really bore me lately...I thought their old stuff was decent though.

 

[The_Yeti]

Arsis is right behind Opeth for my favorite metal band ever, so excellent!

I've probably listened to this song 10 times already. It's much more technical than almost anything else they've done before.

 

[Pethical]

saweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

 

[hibernal_dream]

Anaemic compared with their first album.

 

[FUBAR]

The bands funny name always put me off checking them out...will do later.

 

[Awake_In_Animosity]

Fuck me how many riffs are in the new track! It's rifflicious!

 

[billyneverdies]

Glad you guys like this!

I am almost positive, though, that this is a demo. The mixing sounds cheap, the drums are way too loud, and there are a number of gaping tempo changes (0:29--even though I like them in a rustic sort of way)

Good to see there are some Arsis fans out here. A Diamond For Disease is the greatest song ever written.

A Diamond For Disease is the greatest song ever written.

youre entitled to your opinion but... lol

 

[beast from the east]

I had never heard them before seeing them with Enslaved last fall, and their show was pretty damn great! Haven't picked up any of their albums yet, but I definitely will be!

 

[soundave]

Yeah, Diamond for Disease was good. Something about the way it's mixed nags at me, though.

 

[The_Yeti]

Yeah I'm sure that the production quality isn't that good because it was a Youtube video, and the sound is never all too great on there. I'm sure the finished album will sound a lot better.

 

[Risquit]

These guys own live. Really.

 

[billyneverdies]

Absolutely. James Malone's ability to play Arsis' ultra-complex shreds, tapping solos, and sweep picking plus use studio-quality vocals is amazing.

When they toured last year, Jim had pneumonia so they had to hire a sucky backup vocalist. But still, touring while you have pneumonia--agh.

 

[Morfeind]

Arsis lost me a little with United in Regret but I still really like the first album and ep. I'd really like to catch their live show one of these days.

 

[EveOfDarkness]

great live show, just saw them with Warbringer and Exodus a month ago.

I've gotta say, as great as the guitars are (like usual), Darren really seems to overplay the drums and kinda ruins it for me. Theres almost no groove because he keeps chopping it up by adding copious amounts of fills and such. He definitely has chops but he needs to take it down a notch, imo.

 

[Frosties]

Thanks for introducing me to this band with this thread - I'll definately be purchasing their albums.

Cheers.

 

[Vamos]

Arsis is cool, I like them better than Necrophagist. I think their songs actually have a point other than simply showing off.

 

[billyneverdies]

Damnit, they took the song down. Figures. Well, I'll keep an eye out for any new songs/info.

That, for me, describes 95% of metal.
