Witch and Wizard of the night
Coveting the Black Goat
I am sentenced by these lies
From Mercy's words on oath
She swore that I broken her
And tortured her while she shook
And urged her to write down her name
Inside of my Black Book
I accept my end
And turn to the light
Beyond body I transcend
Above shamans, ghouls, and rites
May the Demon flay your flesh
May he steal your fucking souls
And in these winding halls of Hell
You will find the truth that I've told
Do you really think
I am coveting the Black Goat
In God's eyes I will ascend
Contradicting what you spoke
As a righteous man
I would help you if I could
But to Beelzebub you traipse
With the Black Goat of The Woods
I accept my end
And bathe in this light
Beyond body I transcend
Lord, banish these rites
May the Demon flay your flesh
May he steal your fucking souls
And in these winding halls of Hell
You will find the truth that I've told
More weight
More weight
More weight
More weight

Prophet for Profit
04:35

Well I modestly propose
You fuckers in your homes
Spend a decent, heavy while
With a gun upon your tongue
You've repeated all your lines
Through a dumb and vacant smile
Without eyes you cannot see
The monarchy of crowd mentality
Who are you
And what can you give
Prophet for profit
And which will you pick?
Between the masses with signs
Or the bastards and hicks?
Well it's time to send a message
We cannot stand your ignorance
It's the night of broken glass
Do you really feel that mad?
I see your drive-thru news
Did you get your hundred likes?
Distorted, fish eye truths
You cannot say you're fucking right
Who are you and what can you give?
Prophet for profit and which will you pick?
Changes are hard, they're changes for you
Fuck the goddamn charge, and fuck your politics, too
Well the curtain cannot hide
These goddamn lies from either side
Stupidity's a plague
And it's rampant in this country
Stop this prejudicial scorn
I am not your enemy
Come fight the ignorance
And we will set the people free
Kristallnacht but it ain't 1938
Rage just for rage you claim love but yet you hate
Changes in the world will come and go you see
Vaccinate these fucks and be rid of this disease

Panopticon

Center of dreams, center of sights
Watching us fight, watching us strive
The savior's sleeve conceals the blade
He stabs it in and says
Now you are saved
Now you are saved
Now you are saved
Panopticon
Father of lives, Father of lies
Tell me how wondrous, and great am I
The answers unfold into the crowd
They rip out his eyes and they say
Now they are mine
Now they are mine
Now they are mine
Panopticon
Internet eye
Internet eye
Seal this chamber of mine
Eye for an eye
Eye for an eye
When we are already
Blind.

49 Minutes

49 minutes in hell today
Three are laying dead in the hallway
Silence saves a couple of lives
The others are trapped inside
Massacre at Columbine
The reporter sweeps ahead
Massacre in '99
Sell the story, reaping death
Where on Earth were God's eyes
When the bullets raked the halls
Violence was then idolized
Just before he killed them all
The priest says it's a paragon
Of the Christian martyrdom
Politicians say differently
It's a television killing spree
Massacre in 49
There are 13 lying dead
Massacre in '99
Someone stop the endless death
Bobble heads nod away the crimes
And dig into their agenda mine
No time for respect or a sign of remorse
Care only for image and their workforce
Sift through the mud, and dig, dig, dig
Spin and story all mix in the muck
Use the fallen, exhume the kid
Carry them with you, and live, live, live

Black Lung

Send my body to the bottom
I'm a cavern servant and a slave
Pick in hand under Rockerfeller
Living in the demon's cellar
Heritage work is overrated
Energy source has been outdated
The canary falls down to the floor
A carbon death for the ore
Lost the sun and lost my way
I'm drowning in this black decay
Lungs have filled with dust and death
Choke the living and steal their breath
Heritage work is overrated
Energy source has been outdated
The canary falls down to the floor
A carbon death for the ore
Violent strikes and violence mine
I rape the Earth and kill her light
When the stars go out my lamp is last
I clog the air and choke her fast

Skin Hunter

1978
A loner on the freeway
Victim to your primordial side
Shattered glass, and shallow mind
Temptation rules to bound and gag
Tossed in the back of a Cadillac
Carried off to someplace else
Dark and hollow, an earthly Hell
I'm not somebody else
I was the same as you could've been
Auctioned off my human shelf
Chained to a wall in the skin hunter's den
Free this body from my cold cell
Give back my strength and my free will
Slave to man and slave to taste
Shifting shadows shuffle with haste
I'm not somebody else
Listen up now and hear me out
Sold straight off my human shelf
Break the silence in secret vows
Free this body from my cold cell
Give back my strength and my free will
Slave to man and slave to taste
Escape again from this foul place
Dull eyes, dead eyes return the light to my sight
Needle, need holes, where is my urge to fight back
Can't find won't find, fall farther into dry rot
Under, sunder, broken bones from buckshot
Shed the thinner skin
Set fire to the den
Out or farther in
Identical twins
Bright eyes, cold ice, harvester of my insides
Needle, blood holes, arriving on death's door
Can't find, won't mind, leave me in a dumpster
Under, sunder, this body is your own
Shed the thinner skin
Set fire to the den
Out or farther in
Identical twins

Arsena Baltimore, Maryland
Based out of Baltimore, MD, Arsena is a 4 headed chimera of genre-defying influences creating a new, unique spin on its core sound of old school thrash metal. The group expands upon its musical similarity to Havok, Mastodon, Primus, and Megadeth with a haunting sense of atmosphere and melody long since lost by the genre. Members: Luke Albert, Owen Duff, Robb Hollowell, Josh Deckman ... more
Arsena recommends:
Death Be Thy Shepherd
by Reign of Fury
Callback to old school Metallica thrashing with catchy riffs and vocals. These dudes go hard- favorite track is "Death Be Thy Shepherd."
go to album
It's like Exodus and Metallica came together to form a headbangin, thrash monster. Seriously cannot get enough of these dude's albums.

The Great Western Oligarchy
by Soldier
Catchy songs with blistering riffs and some of the best thrash metal vocals we've heard. These guys absolutely kill it and we hope to play a show with them some day.
