Virginia-based melodic technical death metal titans ARSIS have released the lyric video for the song “Unwelcome,” which comes off their forthcoming full-length of the same name. “Unwelcome” is slated for an April 30 release via Nuclear Blast, and was recorded at Audiohammer Studios with Jason Suceof (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, WHITECHAPEL, DEVILDRIVER, DEICIDE, SIX FEET UNDER).
“So, we’ve had ‘Unwelcome’ finished for quite some time now and we are happy to finally be able to share the finished product with everyone,” commented founder and lead guitarist/vocalist James Malone.
“As a band/musician, it’s sometimes difficult to separate yourself from your work and visualize how others are going to interpret your work. In other words, it’s sometimes hard to know whether or not your ideas are relevant to anyone but yourself. With ‘Unwelcome’, we certainly put all of our everything into the writing and recording and stopped paying attention to what’s trendy or what we think might appeal to a larger audience. In doing so, I feel we have created one of the most sincere ARSIS albums and perhaps one of the most relevant.”
