ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS ARE BACK, BABY!

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009 at 3:15pm by Axl Rosenberg

I really, really thought that Arsonists Get All the Girls might break-up. They’ve been through so many line-up changes and hardships since the release of  2007’s The Game of Life that you hardly could’ve blamed them if they’d called it quits.

But AGATG ain’t quitters. The game of life is hard, but they know about it, they know about it, the game, the game of life. And so they’re releasing a new album, Portals, on July 14.

The album reunites the band with Zack Ohren, who also worked with All Shall Perish, Brain Drill, Apiary, the late Light This City, and a bunch of other cool bands I’m forgetting, so they’re in good hands. They’re also streamlined now, as they’re down to a single vocalist.

I’m incredibly curious to hear this album. AGTAG are one of those bands that are stuck with the negative “deathcore” tag even though they’re a really, really talented band. Given their experimental/prog/tech tendencies, the “Sumeriancore” tag is actually way more accurate, even though the band is signed to Century. But for all I know, they’re technically wigger slam.

    I can’t wait to hear the new shit with one vocalist….I hope the vocalist they lost was the one who sounded like a crying 5-yr old boy…I hope the dude with the regular pitch screams is still in….

  3. CJ says:

    Fucking sweet! Love this band.

  4. Bill says:

    I dig tattoos and I have several, but WHY IN THE BLUE FUCK would you get some band that wont be around in 5 years tattooed to your arm that fucking huge? “Looks really cool grampa, what does it mean?”

    • SonOF says:

      I do however think the tat is acceptable if you are actually a member of an amazingly obscure band.

      • Bill says:

        that’s one thing, then it’s a part of your life. as much as we want to call music “ours” and that we identify with it so much and it brings so much meaning to our lives, it’s typically just a bunch of guys that don’t know you or give a damn how much you like or dislike them.

    I hate when people say what will your grandkids think about your tattoos when your old. Fuck off. Who the fuck cares what your grandkids or anyone else thinks about your tattoos as long as it makes you happy. All i know if my grandpa had tattoos i think it would be cool he wasn’t some god damn pussy that was to afraid to get something on him he might not even care about years later. Its what being a youth is all about, even if you regret it later on its apart of you and a certain point in your life and a reminder to what you once were. So fuck off Bill enjoy your shit Nautical stars and stupid Coy Fish tattoos.

    Haha, what a pointless rant there Adam. Touch a nerve huh? Who the fuck cares what you think about what some other douche thinks about some douche?

    As far as horrendous tattoos goes, this is one of the worst I’ve seen. Not even close to being so bad it’s good, just so bad it’s retarded. And makes you retarded for seeing it.

  7. CJ says:

    So, why is this argument about tattoos and not about Arsonists Get All The Girls (which, by the way, is probably the single coolest band name I’ve ever heard)?

  8. anathema says:

    deathcore!

  9. Jimmy says:

    Their old bassist died the day after his 21st birthday from alcohol poisoning.

    *sigh*

    I don’t want to seem like an asshole, but come on…

    They also announce a tour today called the “No Care Ever Tour”

    make sure to look at the tour poster

    No that tattoo is most certainly not mine this is mine. http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t17/mrsaucytrousers/tat.jpg It rips super hard and its metal as fuck. Fucking Thor ripping his mighty hammer Mjolnir down onto the fucking Midgard Serpent. I personally would never get a band tattoo but that kid did and im sure he is happy with it. So go get that Scott Stapp back piece you’ve always wanted Bill, you fat piece of shit, and fuck off.

    • Bill says:

      sure it is buddy, and i’m 6′8″ and can bench press 800 pounds. just because the tattoo artist spelled “Juggalo” wrong when he tattooed it on your ass is no reason to get surly with me because i think that huge ass ugly band name tattoo is horrible.

      “it rips super hard and is metal as fuck”

      LMFAO. did you seriously just write that as a description of yourself? let me ask you, does your penis disappear inside your body when you sit down? send your girl over to my place tonight so i can let her experience a real man.

      • Blackthorned says:

        Hey Adam – leave Scott Stapp out of this, he makes a lot more sense than the abuse you’re posting on here and your faux metal try-hard body paint.

      • HagstromSpeed says:

        lol Id like to see a video of this 800 pounds macho man…..and do you realize thats only about 200 pounds away from the world record? Sure you can Arnold……..

  12. iLol says:

    this band is fucking shit

    too many tempo changes and breakdowns make this unlistenable garbage

  13. Adam says:

    I STAY HARD 24/7. MY ARM PROVES HOW HARD I AM. THESE CAPS PROVE HOW HARD I AM. SO FUCK OFF BILL UNLESS YOU WANT TO GO THAT WAY. YOUR MAKING IT A LITTLE TO EASY TO GO THAT WAY. I GO HARD.

  14. Money Mike says:

    That tattoo is fucking gay…end of story.

  15. Toddler says:
