Arsena

Psych Thrash group from Baltimore, MD- reminiscent of Mastodon, Primus, Havok, and The Sword

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 Megadeth, Mastodon, Primus, and Havok with a haunting sense of atmosphere and melody long since lost by the genre. After 3 years of playing locally and on tour in the north eastern United Stat

es, Arsena released their sophomore EP “Dawn of the Second Sun” on physical and digital formats. This 4 song, genre-bending epic of dynamic soundscape gripped listeners worldwide with its dissonant riffage, blues-inspired solos, interconnected lyrical content, and catchy, melodic vocals. It has since been streamed thousands of times on multiple formats including Spotify, YouTube, and Bandcamp. After the exponential increase in fan base from the release, Arsena has returned to their home studio to begin writing and recording their upcoming full length album for the end of 2021. In the meantime, they continue to promote their work in preparation for future shows and releases. Before the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Arsena opened for groups such as Mushroomhead, Tengger Cavalry, September Mourning, and Silvertung, and played multiple shows on the 2019 national tour of heavy metal outfit Vicious Rumors. They have rocked the stages of renowned venues such as Virginia’s Blue Fox Billiards, Baltimore’s Fish Head Cantina and Baltimore Soundstage, and Philadelphia’s The Fire, building connections and fans along the way. Since the onslaught of the coronavirus quarantine, Arsena turned their work from the stage to their home, where they wrote and recorded their latest EP “Dawn of the Second Sun,” sent the songs to Ben McLeod of All Them Witches for mixing, and forwarded them to Mikey Allred of Dark Art Audio for mastering. The songs have been praised by Glenn Fricker of SMG Studios, the New Wave of Old School Thrash Metal YouTube channel, and Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit. The EP gained traction quickly and landed Arsena interviews with webzines such as Greece’s “Filthy Dogs of Metal” and Lithuania’s “Diovim,” providing the world with a closer look into the minds of the bands members. Currently, Arsena is coordinating with renowned radio promotional group Pirate! to submit their music to non-comm and university-funded radio stations nationwide in preparation for the release and subsequent touring of their next album. Stations such as WRIR, KFAI, WUNH, and many others are already spinning the latest Arsena songs. Members: Luke Albert (vocals, guitar), Robb Hollowell (backing vocals, guitar), Josh Deckman (bass), Owen Duff (lyrics, drums)

From the deepest place in our hearts, thank you all so much for listening to us. If you’ve streamed our tunes, or have come to a show, or bought merch or even just interacted with our posts or said hi and gave encouraging words- we cannot begin to describe how much we appreciate each one of you individually.

This has been an extremely important and vital year to us as a band. We released our debut full length, we are discovering who we are and what we want to do, and we’ll be damned if it doesn’t involve writing the best songs we can make and continuing to grow this incredibly cool fan base that has formed. Some wildly cool things are coming for Arsena in 2023 and we’ll be announcing that shortly.

The largest amount of love from all of us. Here’s to a great year🍻
