Arriver's long-awaited full-length LP "Tsushima" is out now, on Bloodlust!
This extra-heavy 150g vinyl LP comes packaged in a lavish 7-color screenprinted gatefold sleeve, with an additional four-panel 3 color insert full of lyrics and (yes) extensive historical info- all designed and printed by Crosshair. Free download included.
from the Chicago Reader:
A vibrant and intellectually restless progressive metal band founded in 2004...Arriver specializes in producing what are more or less books in musical form...
.....the amazing new Tsushima (Bloodlust!) [is] a retelling of a 1905 naval battle during the Russo-Japanese war that all but destroyed the Russian fleet, which had been weakened by a voyage around Africa. Arriver seem to acknowledge the courage and perseverance involved in such a battle with their eruptions, interludes, and grand pillars of riffage, but their sonic fury rests on an undercurrent of righteous anger provoked by the tragedy and futility of war. It's a testament to the genius of this band that they can turn a subject you might dismiss as interesting only to military-history nerds and war gamers into something that can grab you by the throat—at least if you can use your head and bang it at the same time. —Monica Kendrick
...and for a truly in-depth review from someone who really gets it: http://hoodedutilitarian.com/2012/03/tsushima/
Ships via Media Mail in the USA, for $17.50 total.
It is my band. It rules utterly. Buy it already.
