Arsonists Get All the Streams

Here’s what my buddy Axl had to say about Arsonists Get All The Girls when they dropped a new 42-second grind track in June:

If Arsonists Get All the Girls’ new video and single, “Beast Fist,” is any indication, than the Santa Cruz outfit has evolved from a whacky experimental deathcore group to a straight-up grindcore band… with whacky keyboards, natch. Which, as much as I liked the band’sTheGame of Life-era sound, is fine with me! I fear some grind fans may stay away from this because of AGATG’s name/fashion sense/past history, which would be a mistake. ”Beast Fist” will rip off more faces in less than a minute than entire Winds of Plague album will do in a lifetime.

Emphasis mine. Turns out there is still plenty of whacky experimental deathcore-ish stuff happening on new album Listen to the Color — “Beast Fist” just happened to be a particularly heavy track — but there’s absolutely a ton of grind here. More importantly, the band is awesome but metal fans in general definitely write them off because of their name/fashion sense/past history, which is a shame. It’s not at all hard to imagine a tour featuring both Genghis Tron and Arsonists Get All the Girls in a parallel universe where AGATG chose a different bandname and wore different clothes.

Here’s their new album Listen to the Color in full, via Bandcamp where it can also be purchased. You’re welcome.
