ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS Part Ways With Guitarist, Bassist

July 21, 2008

Santa Cruz, California-based progressive hardcore/death metallers ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS have parted ways with guitarist Derek Yarra and bassist Adam Swan.

Commented guitarist Arthur Alvarez: "Adam and Derek have decided to leave the band on good terms. We love these dudes and it's really hard to see them go. Touring full-time isnt for everyone and we understand that. Everyone else remains in the band still. If you saw us on tour with CARNIFEX, you are asking yourself, 'Who the fuck is that guy on bass?' Steve Dean of MORIA fame has decided to step up and help us out as a filler, but hell we liked him so much we decided to keep him. So everyone give Steve a warm welcome when you see him. As for the guitar spot, [sigh] we finally found someone to fill in for our upcoming Thrash And Burn tour. Thank you to everyone who sent us stuff! Jaeson Bardoni (also ex-MORIA) has decided to jump in and say, 'Fuck it, I will give it a shot.' So that is where everything stands with that."

Arthur continued, "The next order of business, and I know you guys have been waiting for it. We have started writing for our next album. We have roughly four or five songs with guitars and drums. This is the most amazing shit I have ever written and I'm very stoked on what the final product will sound like. We plan on recording in December/January so keep your eye open for new stuff during that time.

"Lastly, I just want to thank everyone for sticking with us through these hard times and I can't wait to see everyone on Thrash And Burn!!!"

Capital Chaos has posted video footage (see below) of ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS performing on June 21, 2008 at The Boardwalk in Orangevale, California. Also appearing on the bill were EMBRACE THE END, CARNIFEX, CONDUCTING FROM THE GRAVE, CATTLE DECAPITATION and BROADCAST THE NIGHTMARE.

ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS released its debut offering, "Hits From The Bow", on Process Records in 2006. They went on to tour the U.S. and shared the stage with bands such as THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD, THE NUMBER 12 LOOKS LIKE YOU, ED GEIN and HEAVY HEAVY LOW LOW. The group previously described itself as "the derailment of a gay train on its way to straight town."

After signing with Century Media Records, ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS released a new record, "The Game of Life", which was recorded with Zack Ohren of Castle Ultimate (ANIMOSITY, LIGHT THIS CITY).
