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 ).
