Arsonists Get All The Girls
Arsonists Get All the Girls started in 2005 as a joke and wanted to be the heavier version of Horse the Band. Horse the Band almost invented the genre Nintendocore with a hilarious keyboard and synthesizer sound in their metalcore. Besides a lot of humor they can also write catchy tunes and that’s exactly what Arsonists Get All the Girls lacks in most of the songs on ‘Portals’.
Yes, these fire-raisers can handle their instruments and come up with hot guitar riffs and funny keyboard parts. Still the breakdowns, moshparts or keyboard tunes are just cut and paste work. When this album continues you getting bored by the simple keyboard lines and also the melodic guitar riffs, especially in the 7 minute song “Portals” that’s just way too long. If you want to imitate Between the Buried and Me you should also have their song writing qualities.
No, Arsonists Get All the Girls from America is just one of the bands that jumps on the buzz Horse the Band created and although this album is already their third I can’t hear they have a sound of their own. The un-funny synthesizer sounds in for example “I Lost My Loss of Ruin” and “To Playact in Static” get on my nerves, just like the standard breakdowns do.
