Arsis is back in 2002 with a brand new promo and even more old school sounding melodic death metal carnage! It didn't take any more than the first couple seconds of this demo for me to realize how much it was going to kick ass! Just about everything on this new demo sounds like it's been improved since last year's promo – the vocals are grimmer, the drumming is more intense, the production is better, and almost every last second of this promo is loaded with awesome guitar riffs! In case you missed my last review of Arsis then let me tell you these guys are awesome.
Their music is melodic death/black-ish metal, but no this is not the corny watered down crap like Soilwork or In Flames. Arsis music is more similar to the sound of At the Gates, Dissection, Eucharist, ect. It's not exactly every day that I hear a promo that's so intense and just forces you to start banging your head at the start of every song. My favorite tracks from this promo are 'Elegant and Perverse' & 'Worship Depraved.'
Hopefully with a little luck this band will soon be signed, because they certainly deserve it. These guys have incredible skills, and they've proved it on this promo. I'm so sick of all the watered down shit so called melodic death metal bands that keep getting signed all the time. Give these guys a damn record deal already!
