JAMES MALONE REVEALS THE ALBUMS THAT MOST INFLUENCED STARVE FOR THE DEVIL, GIVES FANS MULTIPLE ANEURYSMS

 Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 at 4:00pm by

WOW. In the “I did not see that coming category” is Arsis mainman James Malone’s list of “The Top Five Records that Influenced Starve for the Devil,” which was published last week on The Deciblog. I would have expected to see some thrash, some death metal, and some hair metal, but really never would have guessed at least three and possibly four of the albums Malone selected. And if you’re one of those nitwits who was so offended that Malone plays a pink guitar in the “Forced to Rock” video, than you should call 911 right now and make sure the ambulance has already arrived before you start reading the list, because you’re definitely gonna choke on your own tongue.

Go to The Deciblog to read Malone’s entire list. I don’t wanna give too much away, but I will say one of the more surprising releases on the list was Walking with Strangers by The Birthday Party Massacre, who Malone calls “One of the better bands to come out in the last seven years or so.”

Arsis Starve for the Devil is awesome, by the way, and is out now on Nuclear Blast!

    Guy’s got a pretty varied taste in music, big deal.

    the band is the birthday massacre
    not birthday party massacre
    and they are fucking awesome

    • http://thenumberoftheblog.com/ groverXIII

      I wouldn’t necessarily put them in the “fucking awesome” category myself, but on occasion they fit my mood very well.

  • joshkid

    Deathstars RUFKM?!?! I mean their last album is not THAT bad, but a main influence? Fuck that.
    Go listen to Rammstein dude!

    • Kye

      I don’t really like either, but Deathstars are infinitely better than Rammstein.

      • Steph

        Nope

      • Bicro

        no.

        • Kevlard

          oh hell fucking no! Deathstars is fucking terribad

  • Genial Gentile

    The use of the term “badical” is enough to convince me against investigating this any further.

    • Fasshole

      If you’re saying you haven’t heard Storm of the Lights Bane, and aren’t going to listen to it because he used the term badical, then you, sire, are going to miss out on one of the best death metal albums ever.

      • Genial Gentile

        No…I was talking about investigating his list in general, not SotLB.
        My phrasing was almost as unfortunate as using the term badical…especially in reference to that album.

        • MSalonen

          You’re retarded. And exactly the kind of person that successful musicians (or at least those with a sense of humor and overall good taste) enjoy pissing off/making fun of.

          • Genial Gentile

            Settle down fanboy.

  • Fasshole

    Deathstars and Dissection? Dude has a bit of a hard on for the Nodtviedt brothers huh?

    Also….. Arsis are horrible.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Rob-Kurkjian/1238131077 Rob Kurkjian

      I think you mean is. Arsis IS horrible

      Starve is great. I really don’t get why people are hating on it

  • \m/Eluveitie\m/

    It’s like some foods…looks good until you find out what it’s made of

  • atomicgarden

    That chick is hot!

  • ITTOA666

    Arsis officially died when Ryan Knight left. Time to go listen to deflorate and appreciate good solos.

    • MSalonen

      Yeah, a band started by Malone and predominately written by Malone totally died when some other dude left. Ryan is a cool dude and great guitarist, but he didn’t make the band. And solos do not a song make.

    • Kevin

      You’re an idiot.

      • Kevin

        Not you, MSaolnen, that was in response to ITTOA666. Everything you said is true, and Ryan Knight didn’t change the fact that Deflorate sounded exactly like Nocturnal.

  • Ziltoid

    Well, at least dissection and Mercyful Fate are good. Too bad they didn’t have any audible influence on the final product–another shitty Arsis album.

    • Kevin

      God you suck Ziltoid. I know you think it’s cool just to shit on everything, but you really are very tiresome. Plus you listen to Disturbed and you were caught, which is hilarious.

      • mongorian

        Why is it nearly everyone on this website bitches and moans and is generally negative about everything, but Zilty is the only one consistently called out for it?

        • Kevin

          Is that your alternate username, Zilty?

        • Discipleofthewatch

          I volunteer to also call out Biff Tannen.

  • iolanach

    Starve for the Devil is anything but awesome. Decent, at best.

    Stick with A Diamond For Decease.

    • MSalonen

      Which was co-written by Eyal Levi.

      • iolanach

        Really? Did not know that. What a great little EP that is.

  • Haeckel

    The Birthday Massacre is among the best of today’s bands in any genre. TBM is a re-synthesis of distilled older styles – especially 80s synthpop and 90s industrial metal – that creates a distinct, timeless sound evocative of both past and future.

  • fan

    whats wrong with the birthday massacre?

    and its “the birthday massacre”, not “the birthday party massacre”.

  • fan

    oh yeah, and The Deathstars are a great band.

  • CARLTON3000

    Nerds+anime+Flyleaf=Birthday massacre

  • Carbonthief

    I would never have guessed any of those either, because I’ve never fucking heard of any of them.

  • DemonicLemming

    Birthday Massacre = fucking epic. Both they and Stolen Babies have taken the experimental/dark cabaret style that Jack off Jill did so well and expanded on it. Those are three of the few bands whose cds rarely leave my car.

  • Meredith

    Three out of five of those bands are really gay. I’ve found out why I never liked Arsis.

  • hexbasher

    how come i have a feeling that im not missing out on anything (too loud at work to hear the lil lappy speakers)…..

  • Reznik

    Cool!! MS feautring TBM, awesome!!

  • SourDeez

    Starve! Starve! Starve! STARVE FOR THE DEVIL!!!

  • Gaia

    Wow am not liking the praise of the birthdaay massacre. They are not good. Not good at all.

  • Steph

    That Birthday Massacre song was pretty fun, I’ll be checking this oot.

  • Haeckel

    Check this out: metallic guitars and growl/rasp vocals. And catchy.

  • Tj

    The new Arsis album is awful. You guys rip on trend followers and when a great band falls so far form it’s roots and just ends up in this category it’s great. If starve for the devil was their first album to be released you’d highlight them in the shitstain of the universe column instead.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Michael-Brady/5027798 Michael Brady

    Man, I knew there was a reason I loved this new Arsis album. Though I can’t hear any of the Birthday Massacre or Deathstars influence at all…that being said, I’ve been meaning to get around to listening to TBM for a while now, and that song was awesome. Further research is required…

  • Esteban

    TBM sounds a lot better than this Arsis pile of horseshit.
