Arsis never got that memo. Or they got it and used it to wrap a brick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe Are The Nightmare\u003c\/em\u003e is the Virginia quartet's third full-length, and it hits that rare pocket where technical melodic death metal actually sounds like it's enjoying itself. James Malone's guitar work is almost absurdly precise, but there's a viciousness underneath that keeps it from feeling like a clinic. Think the surgical aggression of Psycroptic crossed with the dark melodic sensibility of Anata, but with a distinctly American bite. Released in 2008 on Nuclear Blast, it remains one of the stronger entries in the tech-death canon, and one that rewards repeated listens without making you feel like you need a music theory degree to keep up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCD format. Standard jewel case with full booklet. 2008 Nuclear Blast pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFans of: Psycroptic, Obscura, Anata, Decapitated, Necrophagist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALT CVLT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45549579174079,"sku":"0727361187620","price":24.66,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/3633\/0175\/files\/original_986b27eb-770b-4680-ad1c-3996aaa443f7.jpg?v=1777056560","url":"https:\/\/www.alt-cvlt.com.au\/products\/arsis-we-are-the-nightmare-cd-2008","provider":"ALT CVLT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
