Arsis - Sunglasses at Night (Tech/Death meets 80's Pop, LOL)

This is just too good to not share. One of countless examples of the idea "they should make a Metal version" of said song. Or "Some Metal/Death Metal band should cover that song" ..which sounds funny/interesting in theory, but rarely if ever happens. But in this case, it actually did happen, haha.

As far as the new Arsis record, it's called Unwelcome and it drops this coming Tuesday. Why I never got around to including anything about it in here, per lack of knowing, not finding their last record 2010's Starve for the Devil all that amazing even had I known about it. But I should now check it out, not only due to the fact they included this highly unexpected cover song, but also just a bit more curiosity on where they are now given they found inspiration from something so out of left-field like Corey Hart, lol.

Arsis - Starve for the Devil (2010)

A note as this is the title of the next Arsis LP, to be expected in early 2010. "We Are the Nightmare" was an excellent tech/death record from 2008, so I would hope for something of similar or better quality. One note I guess is their original drummer rejoined the band for this album; which given my lack of interest in their drummer live and how much I enjoyed their last album, the jury is probably gonna remain out about that.

also just now...



The Color Turning: another new name. Sort of remind me of how I feel about The Stills, just from the myspace. They have enough for me to like them, but nothing outstanding as far as I can tell. Their debut disc "Good Hands Bad Blood" just came out earlier this year. It sounds like they use some samples, which is something that could win me over when I checkout the record. However, some groups also use sound-bytes and it doesn't necessarily demand I listen to them regularly because of that.
