Decibel Magazine: James Malone's (Arsis) Top 5 Records That Influenced Starve for the Devil

James Malone's (Arsis) Top 5 Records That Influenced Starve for the Devil

Posted February 26 by Chris D.

By James Malone (Arsis)

5. The Birthday Massacre Walking with Strangers (2007) — They're kind of like a respectable Banarama and they are brilliant. One of the better bands to come out in the last seven years or so.

4. Hardcore Superstar Beg for It (2009) — Honestly, we just discovered this bannd a few weeks ago, so we were in no way listening to this album before and or during the Starve for the Devil recording sessions. I must say that this is the best album I have heard in a very long time and everyone should enjoy them as much as I.

3. Dissection Storm of the Light's Bane (1995) — Do I really need to say anything about this album other than it is badical?

2. Mercyful Fate Don't Break the Oath (1984) — This album has always been such a huge inspiration to me, this album has influenced everything that I have ever done musically and I am sure will continue to do so.

1. Deathstars Night Electric Night (2009) — Nick and I must have listened to this album countless times while in the studio. I can't say that our music was in any way influenced by this album, but I think our attitude definitely was. It inspired a strong desire to be 'badass' or a 'jackass' depending on how you view life.

"Concrete owes as much to Atari Teenage Riot's machine-gun anti-funk as Anaal Nathrakh's gibbering black metal. Actually, they owe a lot more to ATR and Alec Empire's sense of digital chaos - check out the straight-up jungle break in the middle of "Slaagt" and the piano balladry that follows immediately after. There are definitely song-forms here, but nothing that hasn't been pureed and reassembled into new, stuttering shapes." - Joe Gross, DECIBEL Magazine #63 Have you men heard this. Please do, it is better than 'Exodus'.

That Deathstars album has to be one of the worst albums that I'v ever listened to. The list pretty much reflects the music on the new album.

We don't care about your shitty opinion, you dork. It's obvious this dude loves cheese, the fact that the cheese has finally made it onto record is grand.

Ugh... Deathstars.....ugh...... 2 & 3 are awesome, but the rest could of never have been mentioned for everyone's benefit. You know... if some band took those two influences with something like the first two Motley Crue records and maybe W.A.S.P. That would be pretty awesome!

Isn't that the dude who always wears the Sisters of Mercy t-shirt? What a poser...

The Birthday Massacre? I wouldn't have expected that... though I like them. Dissection! Yes! Other than that, no opinions.
