About Rising Phoenix Music

Welcome to Rising Phoenix Music, a blog that's not so one-sided and biased, but has a variety of music that could suit the different tastes of others. I post and review heavy, brutal, loud, soft, relaxing, chill, and experimental music, so look through my archives, we might just have what you're looking for. I made this blog for the sake of these artists--new and old--to share my opinion on their music, and to tell you why I like it and why you might like it too! The artists and albums I post here all deserve to be known, praised, and remembered. I simply want to promote a vast variety of good music and to help out the bands and artists that deserve your attention, not piracy and stealing to deprive these bands of their income. I also believe that you cannot fully judge a band or musician until you have heard most of their material completely, which is why the albums are up for download. I urge you to buy the albums, buy their merchandise, go see them live (if they're still together) and support them!

This is probably one of my favourite albums of all time. As I have said before (pertaining to War From A Harlots Mouth) that in this current raging "core" music scene, there are a few bands that really stand out to me... well, Arsonists Get All The Girls is definitely one of them. When I heard Hits From The Bow, it was one of the most memorable, original, and insane albums I've ever heard upon first listen. This is a band who incorporates chaotic death metal (deep growls, grind style screams, blast beats, heavy riffs) with hardcore (slamming/two-step riffs and strange breakdowns) and with some jazz, as well as catchy keyboard/synthesizer parts cleverly worked throughout the whole album. The two vocalists, Cameron Reed and Remi Rodburg, alternate from high screams to growls and sound absolutely mad. When you see them live, these two also take turns playing the keyboard/synthesizer parts, so as one is standing behind the keyboard, playing and screaming through a microphone on a stand, the other is all over the stage, screaming free hand--and then they switch back and forth. All in all, this band is just fucking godly!
