Boy oh boy, do we have a special treat for you today, kiddies — the exclusive premiere of “Carve My Cross,” the first new fully-completed Arsis song to be released since 2010’s Starve for the Devil. Forget that Arsis haven’t lost a step — “Carve My Cross” finds the band firing on all cylinders with a renewed sense of piss n’ vinegar. This song will absolutely shred your flesh and tears you appendages off one-by-one. FUCK YES.

Check out “Carve My Cross” below. It will appear on Lepers Caress, the incredibly-awesome new Zeuss-produced EP that Scion A/V will offer for free download starting tomorrow at this link. Scion A/V will also sponsor the band’s North American tour, which kicks off this week! Dates are at the bottom of this post. There will be a ticket giveaway to two winners for each date of the tour; follow Scion A/V on Twitter for details and your chance to win.
