Arsis - Visitant - CD

Jewelcase CD.

ARSIS  shines as a standout in the technical, melodic death metal genre. The Virginia Beach-based quartet derived its name from the musical term  "arsis and thesis" , in which  "arsis"  refers to the unaccented part of a measure. The name's origin comes as no surprise, considering co-founder's  James Malone 's classical education in music ( James ' a skilled violinist and a composition major), which in turn ads a whole new layer to the way in which  ARSIS  sounds. And the sound is powerful.  ARSIS  makes death metal that is righteously tinged with black & thrash influences, but is completely dedicated to expanding the reaches of melodicism and technicality in the genre.  "Visitant" , the band's sixth studio album, offers a glimpse at a band in its peak form; the same band which recorded 2013's,  Billboard-charting "Unwelcome" , featuring  The Black Dahlia Murder  guitarist  Brandon Ellis .  "Visitant" , the band's first new album in five years, was recorded, mixed and mastered at  Audio Hammer Studio  with famed metal producer  Mark Lewis ( Whitechapel ,  Devildriver ,  Cannibal Corpse ). The album is replete with cover artwork and layout from  Mark Riddick  ( Arch Enemy ,  Morbid Angel ,  Varathron ) and features guest appearance of  Trevor Strand  ( The Black Dahlia Murder ) and  Malcolm Pugh  ( Inferi ).
