Arsis is an American death / thrash metal band from Virginia Beach .

history

James Malone and Michael VanDyne, two college students at Berklee College of Music , founded Arsis over the 2000 Christmas break. A first demo was created in 2001, another followed in 2002. Several live shows were performed with various session members and in 2004 they signed a record deal with Willowtip Records . The debut album A Celebration of Guilt received some good reviews in the underground and was in part compared to Slaughter of the Soul by At the Gates .

A Diamond for Disease , an EP with a 13-minute title track, followed in 2005. The US heavy metal - ballet group Ballet Deviare used the song.

In 2006 the second album United in Regret was released , with Daath guitarist Eyal Levi as a producer. Several tours with u. a. Enslaved , God Forbid , Necrophagist and All Shall Perish followed. VanDyne then left the duo. Darren Cesca, also at Berklee College, joined as the new drummer. In addition, Malone took a second guitarist in the band with Ryan Knight. Noah Martin, who was already a session bass player on the United in Regrets album, became a permanent bassist .

With producer Zeuss (including Agnostic Front , Hatebreed and Municipal Waste ) we Are the Nightmare , which was released in 2008 by Nuclear Blast , was created. Shortly thereafter, the line-up collapsed again. A European tour took place in autumn 2008 as a support act for Morbid Angel , Kataklysm and Marduk . David Kinkade ( Borknagar , drums) and Nick Cordle (bass) completed the line-up again. A US tour has been announced for winter 2008/2009. In May 2009 they performed at the Legacy Open Air Festival and in November they toured with Behemoth , Devildriver and Scar Symmetry on the Neckbreakers Ball Tour. Guitarist Nick Cordle joined Arch Enemy on March 5, 2012 .
