Photo snapshots of the upcoming ARSIS video "We Are The Nightmare" are available to view below.
The track comes from ARSIS' upcoming album, We Are The Nightmare, set to be released early 2008.
DIRECTOR/PRODUCER:
David Brodsky
LOCATION:
Old, dilapidated church in the Middle-of-nowhere West Virginia (where none of us live).
INTERESTING FACTS:
James Malone almost died during the video shoot when he fell halfway through the floor. One of the film crew snagged him before any of us knew what was going on. I looked over my shoulder and Jim was looking down, still, and freaked out. Later on, these guys in their four-wheelers came up to the set and just hung out and drank a shit-ton of Bud Light. Apparently, they'd ridden twenty miles or so. It was also kinda nuts, because this kinda "ghost car" pulled up to the church after we were leaving -- and we could see it from the road up higher -- but we passed NO ONE on the way out. Two of us actually spotted them, so that's kinda fucking creepy.
Beginning November 2, ARSIS will be on tour with Enslaved across North America.
Guitarist/vocalist James Malone of Virginia's ARSIS has issued the following update:
"Despite the numerous headaches caused by our van's breakdown this summer, we spent time working on perfecting pre-production for our debut release, tentatively titled We Are The Nightmare. We will begin recording the album on September 3, 2007 at Planet Z Studios in Massachusetts with Zeuss (who has worked with SHADOWS FALL and HATEBREED) handling the production. I feel that this will be the most exciting ARSIS album to date. We are now a full band and every member has contributed to the writing process for this album. While it is more varied than anything we have ever written, I feel the result is a much more focused product."
ARSIS drummer Darren Cesca added:
"This is an album any fan of ARSIS or heavy music in general should get excited about. We've really captured the band's sound and improved it in all aspects. It's dark, melodic, and very technical at times, but we wrote songs you can pump your fists to. I've definitely pushed my drumming very far for this record and I know the rest of the band will be pushing themselves as well. One thing's for sure: this is going to be one fun album to listen to. As soon as we finish recording, we plan on shooting a video for 'We Are the Nightmare' in October, then we'll be hitting the road with ENSLAVED in November and EXODUS in January. The album should be stores sometime in early 2008 and I am sure more touring will ensue after that. 2008 should be a busy year for us and we're looking forward to it!"
