02/Nov/2018 ARSIS RELEASE NEW ALBUM & MUSIC VIDEO

American death metallers ARSIS release a new music video for the track "Fathoms", taken from the band's sixth studio album "Visitant", out today in physical and digital format. Watch the video, directed by Rob Neilson.

This release is available in CD and LP (visit our webshop webshop) as well as on digital platforms, such as: SpotifyDeezeriTunes and Google Play.

ARSIS commented on "Visitant": "With a meticulous attention to detail and hooks, we feel as though we have created our most honest and dark record to date". 

Guitarist & vocalist James Malone elaborates: "I wanted to do something different with the lyrical themes for this album and it was just a natural move to incorporate a passion for horror into Visitant. As I was doing my part of the writing I tried to capture the tone and atmosphere of some of my favorite films (Silver Bullet, From Beyond, Prince Of Darkness). It was a very satisfying and fun album to write and I think it might be what fans consider a 'worthy follow-up' to A Diamond For Disease". On the first single and its video, James added: "Tricking the Gods is inspired by my love of werewolf movies, specifically Stephen King’s Silver Bullet. I really liked the idea that everyone in the town was looking for this beast and it turned out to be the person they least expected: the minister. That blurred line between good and evil, heaven and hell made perfect song writing fuel".

"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 appearence of Trevor Strand (The Black Dahlia Murder) and Malcolm Pugh (Inferi).
