Arsis - Denied

     More than likely, your Monday blues are currently in the midst of being drowned in a wash of green beer and misplaced Irish pride (misplaced in the sense that most St. Patrick's Day revelers are in fact not Irish at all -- a shirt saying "kiss me I'm Irish" doesn't make it so). But why not try some different medicine, namely some medicine of the technical death metal variety.

     If you're into anything at all tech-deathy, you should definitely already be familiar with Arsis, and if you're not into anything at all tech-deathy... well, what the fuck is wrong with you? St. Patrick's Day or not, a shitty Monday can be made better with some fleet-fingered riffing and shredding. Crank "Denied" from last year's Unwelcome (well, originally from the Leper's Caress EP and then re-released on Unwelcome) at your Paddy's Day party and see what kind of reaction you get from your friends. And if they don't like it, get new friends.

Song of the Day: Arsis - Scornstar

     I try to keep ahead of all things heavy music, but believe it or not this isn't my "day job". Not even close. This means that I too often find myself a little behind in terms of news. As such I just found out today that there's already a single out from the upcoming Arsis album. Say what?! Maybe you've already heard it, or maybe you don't give a shit, but I feel it's my duty to bring it to you anyways.

     Your song tonight is "Scornstar", the first single from the upcoming Unwelcome from tech-death fan favourites Arsis. It hasn't been that long since the "Leper's Caress" EP and already it's time again for some new Arsis, and I for one won't complain one bit. And how about that song name? "Scornstar"? I'm diggin' it. I'm not sure exactly what it means, but I'm diggin' it.

Song of the Day: Arsis - Beyond Forlorn

     It's been a long day and I lack the energy to get creative on your collective asses this evening, so instead you get the heaviest song that came on my shuffle this afternoon at work. Enjoy!

Song of the Day: Arsis - Carve My Cross

     In part 2 of my 2012 year end round-up, I said that one of the albums I'm looking forward to that looks to be coming out sometime this year is the next disc from Arsis, Unwelcome. I also mentioned the fact that we have the EP Leper's Caress to keep us company in the meantime. So let's huddle beside it's warmth, shall we?
