Damn Good Record, better than United In Regret but MAN is that a dry fucking production

I like this band but I like them in the same way I enjoy Dimmu Borgir or Cannibal Corpse. Absolutely perfect for cranking up at a party, drinking and engaging in some impromptu air guitar antics and headbanging. Great live band too. Yet when I’m listening to music by myself and really want to absorb all the nuances of what a band has to offer I can’t seem to stay at all interested in this. After about ten minutes my attention begins to wander and I’m compelled to put something more engaging in my stereo.

picked it up today and Yowwwza. I think the biggest thing for me about arsis is that it is memorable. I have more tech death than i care to admit where i can’t name one song off the top of my head much less hum one of the tunes if i am not actively listening to the album. Other bands take note if after a few spins of your jaw dropping technical wizzardy i can’t remember a single riff after i put the album away, you have a problem.

Just a poor stab at humor, nothing more.

Yes, complete agree, and very happy they didn’t expand the united in regret sound. I’ve seen high praises everywhere about this album (Also a fruit who hated it and compared as a mix of Arch enemy and Dillinger). Thank you Arsis
