Keeping things relatively simple yet aggressive is El Salvador combo Arise, one of at least a dozen acts with that particular moniker. The band formed in 2021 and feature Edson Alvarado (guitar and vocals), Mauricio Cubias (bass and vocals), Ernesto Cruz (guitar) and Diego Flamenco (drums).<\/p>\n

Exquisite Rotten Feast<\/em> is a concise debut platter at 33 minutes, boasting nine tracks, one of which is a brief instrumental, \u2018Insorsism\u2019. What you get with Arise is something often fast and confrontational that sounds like a mix of Slayer<\/a>, scowling death-thrash and volatile crossover thrash.<\/p>\n

From opening song \u2018New God\u2019 there\u2019s that rather generic speed and vocal snap which numerous bands over the last few decades have adopted. It\u2019s all very fast and frantic and somewhat of a blur as the likes of \u2018Just Fight\u2019, \u2018Special To Me\u2019 and \u2018La Gran Ramera\u2019 melt into one serrated fury. The riffs are tight yet savage, matched by the hyper drums, but there are brief moments of respite and moshing melody as songs like \u2018Serial Killer\u2019 let you in to their chugging framework before spitting you out like discarded, bloody phlegm.<\/p>\n

Arise have no identity and I don\u2019t think they care. Instead, you get pummeled by \u2018Outbreak\u2019 which has a Teutonic snarl, especially in the vocal attack, while speed is key again as \u2018The Whore Of Babylon\u2019 fiercely wraps this whirlwind up. After a few listens I\u2019m still waiting for this to stick, but it could take a while..<\/p>\n
