ARSIS Demos Released On Negative Existence On December 28th, Negative Existence will officially release
ARSIS's demos on a proper format. The album will be entitled As Regret Becomes Guilt . The disc will contain two demos from 2001 and 2002 plus rare bonus tracks and a live video CD-Rom segment.
The music on the disc was recorded between 2001 and 2002 by guitarist/songwriter James Malone and drummer Michael Van Dyne. These demos gained them considerable attention in the underground music scene leading to several tours and landing them with recording contracts from
several prospective labels. The two additional tracks found on this release are alternative studio takes never before released. The CDrom video segment was recorded April 12, 2003 at Pallette’s Outer Banks (Norfolk, VA).
As Regret Becomes Guilt features impressive packaging with a 12 page booklet that was designed by Mark Riddick. The ghastly illustrations and lyrics contained within this unique packaging are printed in black and metallic gold.
The CD can be pre-ordered now from
www.negative-existence.com for $12.00. The ship date is December 28, 2008.
Arsis is known for their unique blend of old school shredding heavy metal and modern gut wrenching death metal. A range of influences from
IRON MAIDEN, DIO, and
ALICE COOPER to the modern sounds of
CARCASS, AT THE GATES and
DEATH can be detected.
Arsis has since released two full length albums and one EP with Willowtip Records, and will soon release another full length on the Nuclear Blast label.
