Arsis Thesis returns with "Ustanak", their debut album!

Arsis Thesis is a doom metal duo of brothers from Houston, Texas. Nick Blevins (guitar/vocals) and Jake Blevins (drums/vocals) formed the band in 2015, drawing on many other progressive rock projects, promising to create an unbridled sonic cataclysm while adhering to their genre-fluid tendencies from past projects. While Arsis Thesis creates the familiar resonance of doom metal, their lack of allegiance to the conventions of the genre is a key feature of the sonic assaults they construct. Their first EP "Pangea" was praised for diving into unique spaces that traditional doom often doesn't venture into, including noise rock, math rock, sludge, post-hardcore, psychedelic and other experimental tendencies on the five-track debut album.

Arsis Thesis have resurfaced now with a full-length album "Ustanak". While this release retains all the virtues of sonic exploration as their first release, it creates new focus when it comes to subject matter. Ustanak is the Serbian word for rebellion, and the title is not just a characteristic of the tracks held within.

It's an album about unending, unfaltering rage and all the baggage that comes with it. A white hot rage for systemic oppression that befalls a world that doesn't care for its inhabitants. It's a six track mission statement on channeling anger into a productive, disciplined end point that undulates, careens and course-corrects itself through a plethora of sonic landscapes, just as the uprising its namesake eludes to surely would as well.
