Arsis Guitarist On Tour Cancellation 2009-03-19 by R6Rider | 11 Comments | Virginia tech-death metal band Arsis were a late omission from the Carcass/Psycroptic tour that began on March 13. Guitarist Jim Malone has offered the following apology and explanation to fans.
"I owe more than a few people an apology at this time.
"Over the past few months ARSIS has had to drop off two tours and the fault lies on my shoulders. Those who know me know that moderation is a concept that I am not familiar with. Ever since my late teens, I have moved from one self-destructive behavior to another and it has finally taken its toll on my body and mind. I seem to take everything I do to an unhealthy extreme. This leads us to the reason for dropping off tours with both The Faceless and Carcass.
"Without going into too many details, let’s just say that there is no healthy way lose 100 pounds in 4 months, as I did late last year. To say that I have been dealing with some issues would be an understatement. These issues have not only affected the basic functions of my body, but also my mood and ability to make rational decisions. Fortunately, I have many supportive people in my life and I have been taking strides to get things back under control. I have been making my best effort as of late and I feel stronger everyday. I think I will come out this a wiser person and be able to run my life better than ever.
Look for ARSIS to be back on the road soon with a possible headliner to make up for lost time. My apologies to our booking agent, our record label, our fans, and anyone who has been effected by my poor decisions."

Awesome.
Also, Arsis is such a fucking train wreck. Just break up already.
| | | they cant really break up when it's essentially just one guy
| | | lol. k.
Well, then I just hope he gives up.
| | | I think guitar wanking at 5000 BPM might just allow a man to drop 100 pounds in four months.
| | | He could've said "Ill be in rehab for a while" and saved himself a lot of trouble.
| | | Arsis is a better band than your favorite band.
Get well and keep fucking shit up, James.
