I’ll keep this short n’ sweet, ’cause I think I’ve already made my feelings about Arsis’ new album, Unwelcome, perfectly clear (in short: A++++ WDBWA). You can stream and/or download the title track via the below widget. It’s awesome, as is the first song released from the record, “Scornstar,” which debuted right here on MetalSucks, and which you can stream and/or download here. But you guys still haven’t heard the real heavy hitters from this baby yet. Unwelcome is the rare metal album that actually gets better as it goes along; somewhere around the halfway point, it goes into a total overdriver of excellence and just ear rapes the listener into oblivion. So consider this just a small taste of things to come.

Unwelcome comes out April 30 on Nuclear Blast.
