Lead guitarist/vocalist James Malone offers this band update:

“Although we had a great run over the past year and a half with drummer Darren Cesca [whose work is featured on the band’s latest album, We Are The Nightmare], we have decided to stop working with him in Arsis. The reasoning behind this decision is simply differences in personalities and an overall difference in direction. Darren is an amazing musician and we harbor no ill feelings towards him. We wish him all the best. We are most excited to announce that Alex Tomlin, a long time friend of ours and an outstanding drummer, will be replacing Darren. His first shows with us will be on the ‘In Thrash We Trust’ tour starting this Wednesday. Come out and support Arsis and the new addition to our line-up!”

The animated version of the Arsis video for “We Are The Nightmare” will soon debut on MTV2’s Headbangers Ball. Stay tuned for air date!
