Arsis is an American 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.
