Arsis’ We Are The Nightmare is an album that I don’t listen to enough. The mix is kind of weird in that the drums are too loud and there is not very much audible bass in the mix either, but the album is great. If you haven’t checked it out, do so. I missed them during the Thrash and Burn tour. By the time I hit the venue they had just finished playing and I wasn’t in to the rest of the bands. $18 bucks down the drain. Oh well.

If you’re in the neighborhood of let’s say…Europe, then you won’t want to miss this tour and line-up. You have Morbid Angel, Marduk, Keep Of Kalessin and Arsis. That’s a hell of a line up and it would be fuckin’ awesome to see this come to North America. I do realize the photo is not an updated photo of the band…but how the hell can you have an updated photo from a band that changes members more than their underwear. Check out the dates.
