Walking the fine line between metal and hardcore, Arson churns out heavy-as-hell guitar riffs and throaty vocals on its first full-length release, Lacerate the Sky. Released on Resurrection A.D. Records, the tempo is a bit slower than on Arson's previous EP, Words Written In Blood, but this allows the band to be a little more artistic and technical with its songcrafting skills. Ex-E-Town Concrete guitarist Ken Pescatore brings some influences from his former band into the mix, but you will find no rapping within the Arson catalog. The band embodies the heavier moments of E-Town, evoking an old-school metal sound and hardcore emotion. Arson has played shows with God Forbid, Biohazard, and All Out War so far, and promises fans a US tour this summer. - Amanda Feingold

MJ New Music Report Issue #750 - February 18, 2002: After hearing some tracks from the forthcoming Arson disc, titled Lacerate The Sky Resurrection A.D. , it can be safely predicted that the album is going to dominate the CMJ Loud Rock department's stereo for quite some time. The production is at full-tilt and the band shreds more than documents at Enron. - Kevin Boyce - Loud Rock Editor

Five angst filled insane motherfuckers bringing you everything but the kitchen sink. Incredibly fast paced ripping guitars and rumbling pounding drum beats, accompanied by the vocal sounds of a man that sold his soul to the devil and must gargle with razor blades. Be prepared for a dynamic force to be reckoned with."
