Arson Bio

A fire lights the way of revolution, leaving shadows upon all who have attempted before. Using raw emotion and passion, Arson has emerged from the ashes to guide the listener along a brutalic trip through the pains of the mind, body, heart, and soul.



In late 1998, guitarist Dan Gonzalez and vocalist Arthur Willhelm decided to create a monster. Using all resources and energy to find the perfect musician for the role, the pair recruited former E-Town Concrete guitarist (1995-'98) Ken Pescatore. Instantly, an uncanny cooperative was formed. Weeks of auditions unearthed New Jersey's best kept secret. Brothers, Keith and Kyle Hasselbrink filled the rhythm section on drums and bass guitar respectively. At last, the monster was complete.



Lightning fast guitar licks, pulse pounding bass lines, relentless drumming, and raw lyrical emotion force the listener to open their mind wide open. Once captivated, the journey begins through stories ranging from the loss of a best friend to the analyzation of modern religion. Backed up by producer/engineer Steve Evetts, (Hatebreed, Snapcase, E-Town) the power that emanates stereo speakers must be heard to be believed.



Setting the scene on fire with relentless touring, Arson is a force to be reckoned with. Please, listen carefully, because playing with fire will only get you burned.
