ARSIS Frontman To Sit Out FIREWIND Tour


Arsis (2009) As previously announced, Virginia-based melodic tech death metal masters ARSIS will be touring as part of the "Frets of Fury Tour" this October with FIREWIND, WHITE WIZARD and NIGHTRAGE. The band will be playing brand new never-heard-before material on the tour, but guitarist/vocalist Jim Malone will not be joining them on the run. Commented Malone:

"Due to professional and personal commitments I am unable to tour with ARSIS at this time. For the upcoming tour with FIREWIND, rather than drop off the tour entirely, we've decided to hire live musicians, some of whom have long been associated with my band. I have given Nick and Noah my blessing and am certain the lineup will be great. My sincerest apologies to anyone who is annoyed or disappointed by my absence. Please go and support ARSIS and check out some of our new songs, which they will be playing every night!”
