I have:

Fortune's Envy
Painted Eyes
Wholly Night
Worship Depraved

If you have any songs different from these, let me know. There are still two more demo songs that haven't been released.

I'm just about finished with me review for A Diamond for Disease.

EDIT: New avatar and usertitle. Thought I might join in the festivities.

EDIT 2: Okay everyone, I'm all finished with my review of ADFD. Now I'd like some help. Are the lyrics included in the booklet of the EP? If so, please pick two songs, take a four-line quote from each, and post it here for me. Pick something very memorable and symbolic. Something that really strikes you as great lyrics. I'd like to use some sidequotes on this one.

From "A Diamond for Disease"

Because along this path are fragile whispers guiding me with guilt
And though they scream the faintest lies
they lead me to the knowledge that your words were chosen wisely
Disguised as all intent...

From "The Promise Of Never"
Though your disease is ever mine
I gave you diamonds
And in an act to seal the oath,
I gave you roses

I noticed that the lyrics to both songs are inter-connected, a lot of the phrases occur in both songs and seems like the theme of guilt from the last album is expounded upon here. Very interesting stuff. You'll see what I mean when you read the lyrics in the booklet.

StreetlightRock · 10-16-2005, 03:30 PM

I find the vocals more understandable in this one, just easier to make out words too. I'll send yall those demos when I get back from school.

Thanks alot, that helps greatly.

I know what you mean though. I can hear Jim referring to various phrases in each song, and I think he mentions a celebration of guilt at some point.

killa_bees77 · 10-16-2005, 07:02 PM

yeah ' celebration of guilt' is the first lyric in Promise of Never lol how clever

Shadows · 10-16-2005, 07:05 PM

That's a kickass song. I'm listening to it now.

Jim is an amazing lyricist.

Why have I never heard of this band? Are they death metal or what/

Arucard · 10-16-2005, 07:09 PM

Real Melodic Death Metal.

Arsis is an American melodic death metal, and none of this scandanavian-rip-off-in flames-wannabe crap, this is the real deal, and the guitar player is off the wall. Might I add there are only two guys, the guitarist and the drummer. If your a fan of well written extreme metal you will love these guys. go to their site www.worshipdepraved.com and check out some of their songs if you're interested.

Also you might not have heard of them because they are somewhat obscure at the moment. But I can predict they will become great in the years to come.

Shadows · 10-16-2005, 07:12 PM

Yes, REAL melodic death. None of this modern American-melodic-death-with-metalcore bullshit. Outstanding musicianship and incredibly memorable writing.

Neurotoxin · 10-16-2005, 07:18 PM

I'll be sending this out tomorrow. I love it so much! The title track has some amazing guitar work, needless to say,

Arucard · 10-16-2005, 07:20 PM

Yes, these guys makes people like DT look tame musicanship wise.

Shadows · 10-16-2005, 07:21 PM

That they do. I think Jim could rival Petrucci. He's already years ahead of DT in songwriting anyway.

Have you heard A Celebration of Guilt? If not, you must. If you love the new stuff you'll love the album.

Woah. Truthfully, is this just the new EP fervor talking?

Shadows · 10-16-2005, 07:59 PM

No, I've felt that way for a while. They're extremely good musicians.

Shazzam · 10-16-2005, 08:01 PM

I was extremely shocked when I found out that they were only 2 people. I mean, their drummer is an absolute machine (look at pictures of him on their website), and their guitarist is absolutely amazing.

They are only two people?? Do they have bass? (visions of the White Stripes)

killa_bees77 · 10-16-2005, 09:07 PM

they use extra musicians live (additional guitar and bass). The singer/guitarist plays bass on the albums though.
