Band from south-west of France, ARSENIC plays melodic speed-metal in the vein of ADX or KILLERS. Bruno DOLHEGUY, leader of the latter, produced all albums released by the group. "Etats D"Urgences" (1998) and "Degradence" (2000) follow the same path as "Lady Sniper" (1996), showing melodic speed-metal dominated by agressive vocals, an efficient rhythm section and a guitar duo performing powerful riffs. Let"s note that the first album includes one title in basque language. The strongest points of this band are their light heavy-metal, vigorous rhythms and catchy melodies. Not to be missed !
