Post Commentthe fact that the singer is the lead guitarist of this band blows me away.
i have listened to united in regret start to finish several times and it still hasn't hit me the way a celebration of guilt did. thats not to say UIR isn't a superb album, but i hoped the band would move in a different direction. on a side note, arsis live is disappointing. they have trouble pulling it all together, especially the drummer.
holy shit, a good review from lambgoat for a willowtip band. This stuff is alright, kind of boring.
when i saw them they were pretty spot on cept for amp problems and shitty sound levels. but anyways ill need to hear more of this cd...
Arsis rules all! Bow down bitches and feel the wrath of the best melodic death metal band around! Simply astounding album, beginning to end. amazing guitar work and very well written songs. Arsis have once again set the bar, for badass technical metal. My favorite album of the year. 10/10
I uh... don't normally like too much death metal. But Arsis f*cking rules.

^^ its more technical than Psyopus, Into the Moat, Between the Buried and Me, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Anata, Cryptopsy, etc.... about the only release this year more technical is Spawn of Possession... Arsis is f*cking nuts, and this is one of the best albums of the year easily...
Arsis is great... in regards to their live show, they're definitely spot-on but their equipment could use a MAJOR upgrade. bassist was using a 4X10" cab last time and in general they could have been louder. someone buy them an 8X10" and full stacks
the production would be perfect for 90s metalcore. this album, not so much. holy muddy production is right.
ts LESS technical than Psyopus, Into the Moat, Between the Buried and Me, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Anata, Cryptopsy,
i semi-take it back, the production is pretty good, except for the drums. theyre so good but a lot of it is lost in the production.
Great album. Great band. Psyopus, Into the Moat, Between the Buried and Me, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Anata, Cryptopsy, etc..non of these bands can come even close to Arsis in terms of songwriting ability
The above comment has to be one of the most ignorant and uninformed musical opinions ever typed in a comments box. Seriously, kill yourself ASAP.
Totaly shit masterbating metal with no inteligence. You should listen to THEORY IN PRACTIS.
Some of you people are ridiculously stupid. More technical and outstanding songwriting than Anata? Cryptopsy? Give me a f*cking break and come back to lambgoat when you don't have the musical clout of a snail anymore.
Arsis are f*cking amazing. But the comment about them being more technical than Anata or Crptopsy is misleading. Anata is another incredible band and I would probably say Arsis and them are on the same level, songwritingwise and instrumentally. Cryptopsy, not as good songwriting, just as technical playing.
OK BUT ONE THING. WILLOWTIP AND JIM MALONE MISPELLED THE WORD 'THAT' ON THE ALBUM, IN THE LAST SENTENCE OF MALONE'S THANKS. DUMB ASSES
these guys are okay, but they don't come anywhere near great bands like killswitch engage in terms of songwriting ability
f*cking amazing music, boring as f*ck live
