Arsis is an American death metal band from Virginia Beach, Virginia, formed in 2000. Although remaining as heavy as traditional death metal bands, they also possess complex riffs and solos that are similar to those found in both melodic and technical death metal. The band is currently signed to Nuclear Blast.
"Arsis" is also a musical term used to refer to the upbeat or unaccented part of a measure.
Arsis is not touring.
