[QUOTE=toaster135]Why have I never heard of this band? Are they death metal or what/[/QUOTE]

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 [url]www.worshipdepraved.com[/url] and check out some of their songs if you're interested. :thumb:

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.

Yes, REAL melodic death. None of this modern American-melodic-death-with-metalcore bullsh[SIZE="2"]i[/SIZE]t. Outstanding musicianship and incredibly memorable writing.

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

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

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

Have you heard [I]A Celebration of Guilt[/I]? 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?

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

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)

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

Arsis Demos sent to everyone in this thread. If anyone else wants them, just jot your e-mail down here.

Thanks alot.

Thanks!

I want it really bad, I have Celebration of Guilt and it is one of the best CD's I own. I heard a small sample of Diamond for Disease and it ruled. James Malone kicks ass.

Thanx for the demos Streelight, the song titles were switched a bit from the other demos that were sent to me earlier but its ok. I liked the other songs.

to BeaZ, and Creeping Deth, i sent out the links for the EP so check it out if y'all want.

Hey, I'd also like to check this out

Just listening to the sample from the site, sounds amazing.

They were a full band for a while. After [I]Celebration[/I] was released, they managed to find themselves a permanent bassist and guitarist, but they quit sometime in the recent past. It's back down to the two of them again.

Uh, Streetlight, I accidentally deleted those demos from my mailbox. :( Do you think you could send them again? [email]theflashmango@yahoo.com[/email]

[email]szuerner@sfsu.edu[/email] If you folks are still YSIing the EP or demos or whatever.

Awesome. Downloading...

Hey which one of you guys that pre-ordered got your EP already? I was wondering because it seemed like I was the only one. I actually emailed Mike from Arsis (drummer) and he was kool enough to respond and tell me that usually when you pre order they send them out right when they get copies which would explain why i got mine so early. Haha i just think its awesome Mike even took the time to write me back. what a kool dude

Cheers to the guys for sending out the YSI's. The chorus to The Promise of Never is so walrusin' badass.

[email]spacebass22@hotmail.com[/email]

Please send me it!

Yeah thanks for that guys, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Dude, you should join the Arsis boards. Mike himself posts there, so me and the other guys there always get the inside info before anyone else. He told me aobut the early sendings too. He also mentioned that him and Jim are currently putting together an Arsis DVD. :)

I ordered mine a couple days ago. I'm just waiting for it to ship.

Listening to for my second time now and I can safely say that I like it. It's so... fresh.

Yes, they have a very unique style. I've never heard it anywhere else.

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]Yes, they have a very unique style. I've never heard it anywhere else.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, interesting.. I hope to see great things come out of them in the near future.

Mike has also said Willowtip is considering releasing their debut album on vinyl with two bonus tracks. I'd buy it.
