ARSIS To Release 'Visitant' Album In November

Melodic tech-death overlords ARSIS will release “Visitant” on November 2 via Nuclear Blast (North, Central, South America) and Agonia (rest of world). The video for the first single from the upcoming horror movie-inspired opus, “Tricking The Gods”, was directed by Rob Neilson and can be seen below.

Guitarist and vocalist James Malone states: “I think ‘Visitant’ is ARSIS‘s most mature album but at the same time, it is also an album that harkens back to our youth.

“We all grew up on horror movies. For me personally, my father would bring me, from a very early age, to the theater to see horror films. He passed his love of science fiction and horror down to me.

“I wanted to do something different for this album and it was just a natural move to incorporate this passion 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’.

“‘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” was recorded in part and mixed and mastered by producer Mark Lewis (WHITECHAPEL, DEVILDRIVER, DEICIDE, CANNIBAL CORPSE). Artwork was created by longtime collaborator Mark Riddick.
