"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
