"Arsis take old school thrash, technical death, blackened vocals, and a hint of good old fashioned power metal and blend them all seamlessly."
- TERRORIZER
"With superb musicianship, clever songwriting skills and plenty of originality, Arsis tear shit up with both brute force and well-oiled proficiency."
- METAL MANIACS
"A Celebration of Guilt is certainly one of the best metal albums of our time, and stands to take its place in the canon of history as one of the best metal albums ever made. Period."
- LAMBGOAT
"Heretofore in danger of becoming overplayed and cliched, melodic death metal gets a much needed shot of adrenaline from Virginia's Arsis. The band's debut, full of jaw dropping guitar heroics and grinding grooves, is the genre's best album since At the Gates' legendary swan song."
- REVOLVER
"Arsis shows no hesitation in charging at listeners with their best weapons - explosive, high-speed drumming, intricate guitar melodies and unending aggression - and ravaging anything in their path. Unadulterated melodic death metal rarely sounds as fresh and memorable as it does on A Celebration of Guilt."
- GEEKBURGER
SEE YOU ALL AT SHOWBOX SEATTLE TOMORROW. LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED A PLACE TO CRASH. I HOPE I COULD TAKE SOME PHOTOS THERE. I KNOW MANY EAST COAST BANDS PERSONALLY. I BROUGHT HATEBREED AND KSE FOR SHOWS IN HONOLULU. I MANAGED YEAR OF DESOLATION AND UNHOLY BEFORE SO I HAVE SPACE FOR BANDS TO SLEEP COMFORTABLY. MANY BANDS HAVE STAYED WITH ME. LAST ONE WAS AFTER THE BURIAL- FEB 3RD.
Just got the new album in the mail today and it KICKS ASS! I love We Are The Nightmare, but Starve For The Devil just takes it to a whole new level. I hope you guys get to Wisconsin and play a show or two in the near future. I wanna hear this new stuff live!
Thanks for 2 killer shows this weekend.. So much fun! Hope you have a great one in SF, looking forward to seeing you play again Tuesday on home turf!

Hey guys...killer show in Minneapolis. Jim, it was excellent catching up with you. Thanks again so much for the dedication to Holly. That was very classy of you. Her kids thought that was pretty amazing, and so did I. That one little act of selflessness made a terrible time for me that much better and easier to cope with.
Hey, Wow you guys were awesome last night! I got some really good pics of you guys:) Just about to upload them now You should play in Winnipeg again soon Or perhaps even Fort Frances ON.:D I'd so be front row again!<3 And I forgot to thank James for the autograph!<3:D So yeah thanks!
You guys kicked a lot of ass last night for having a short set! Really awesome getting to meet you guys, can't wait until you're playing here again (hopefully for longer!)
