Virginia based melodic technical deathsters ARSIS have posted the new song "Beyond Forlorn" on their MySpace page. The track comes from their upcoming album, Starve For The Devil, due out in North America on February 9th, 2010. Guitarist / songwriter / lead singer James Malone recently went public with his struggle with anorexia nervosa, one of the most common eating disorders that affects less than 1% of the general population. 10% of the people who suffer from the disorder are male. Malone had this to say about the lyrical content of the song: "I am of the belief that one can be most convincing when they write/create from personal experience. 'Beyond Forlorn' is probably one of my favorite tracks from Starve For the Devil because it is so deeply personal for me. I really feel that I tried to put all of my being into this one song. Enjoy." 'Beyond Forlorn' lyrics are as follows: BEYOND FORLORN Music and Lyrics: James Malone Lead Theme: James Malone The dreams of others wither by the light of day when the truth's uncovered you will find me wasting away A dark curse upon me flesh bound to the whipping post hunted and haunted stalked by nostalgia the memory of a ghost Beyond forlorn, the answers lie in loneliness Disease reborn, I am so full on emptiness In the heart of torture came the vulture's melody to grant my wishes a pardon from this malady A drop of poison just a drop to call the armies off a chance for release for release is all I ever want Beyond forlorn, the answers lie in loneliness Disease reborn, I am so full on emptiness The greed that blankets passion keeps all of our grief in fashion and as the fervor dies I damn my soul to open up the sky Lead Theme: James Solo: James Solo: Nick From this falling temple draped in scarlet shrouds the starving statue looks on and speaks aloud Locked inside the famine chamber I am the Prince of Emaciation under the spell of the coldest splendor grant me my wish, release the poison A dark curse upon me flesh bound to the whipping post a drop of poison just a drop to call the armies off Beyond forlorn the answers lie in loneliness Disease reborn I am so full on emptiness The greed that blankets passion keeps all of our grief in fashion Beyond forlorn, stalked by nostalgia my memories are your ghost Music for Starve For The Devil was recorded with producer Zeuss (Municipal Waste, Agnostic Front, Hatebreed) at Planet Z Studios in Massachusetts. ARSIS will be touring North America on the "Tyrants Of Evil" tour with ARCH ENEMY, EXODUS, and Mutiny Within beginning January 20th, 2010. Exclusive pre-sale tickets for the tour are available here.
