about

The heaviest breakdown we've ever written.

lyrics

Dig these bodies deep, fifty people wide
Dig down far below enough, keeping them from the flies
Decaying in the heat, calling to the Earth
Larvae, eggs, and maggots would all bring much more than Her

Come sundown we’re completing
The unknown ossuary
As we turn to leave
I see a boy watching from the trees

One man says ransom, another says the gun
Regardless of the outcome we agree that his life is done
Pursue him through the woods, bag him quickly now
Toss him in the trunk and we will figure the way out how

To claim this child as our own
A boy turned into man
Giving him the gun
He’ll have a murder on his hands

See his crimson grin, his soul is buried now
I see clearly my own past has been reflected somehow
This cycle of violence; Its ritual in the Earth

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
