Note the use of “were,” as Original Sin puts that notion to bed before the release even hits it’s half-way point. In Dying Arms’ previous releases-while strong displays of heavy musicianship-were never shining examples of instrumental proficiency. Combining raunchy, aggressive deathcore with catchy grooves, brain-melting riffs and rare moments of soaring clean vocals, Original Sin is a comprehensive deathcore release well worth the wait In Dying Arms have been taunting the heavy music community with. In laymen’s terms, Original Sin is honestly, earnestly wicked: a release that delights in shaving skin and flesh from bone, the purest soundtrack to human suffering. Ultimately, the only thing you can do is give in-which is precisely the sound of In Dying Arms’ long awaited full length release, Original Sin. Before you get too old, it takes over your mind, as the original sin you were born bearing becomes who you are, in spite of struggle or religious attempts at catharsis. The unkind truth is that this burden never fades rather it grows, a black speck that expands, casting shadow over your heart and your mind. Some religions will tell you it can be absolved-that you can be born again-but that’s far from true. No matter what you believe or where you’re from, you are born into this world with a burden.
