ARSON ANTHEM Members Talk Art, Free Speech, Revolution And Religion; Video Available

May 23, 2008

Mike Williams (EYEHATEGOD) and Colin Yeo of the band ARSON ANTHEM were interviewed for an upcoming film documenting politics, religion, art and sex in America. Filmmakers Shane and Amy Bugbee ("Club Satan") are on a year-long road trip taking in the state of the nation during the election year. They talk art, free speech, revolution and religion with the ARSON ANTHEM members.

Watch some of the chat below. More clips are available at the filmmakers' web site.

ARSON ANTHEM the project featuring Williams on vocals, Yeo on bass, Philip Anselmo (DOWN, ex-PANTERA) on guitar and Hank Williams III (SUPERJOINT RITUAL, ASSJACK) on drums releases its self-titled debut EP on February 19 via Housecore Records; a label created by Anselmo focusing on Phil's side projects and other artists he believes in.

After losing everything in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Mike Williams moved into Philip's spare apartment. The two spent countless hours listening to Philip's collection of early hardcore bands; the timing was perfect to remedy this cabin fever. They began jamming with III and Collin Yeo, and this proved to be the crowning accession to complete this exploit.

ARSON ANTHEM's mission is to re-introduce the roots of painful amplification, raw production, and a TRUE "fuck-all" attitude to a movement within a new generation that's lost the meaning of less complicated ventures. The byway is to be similar to the original brutality of bands like NEGATIVE APPROACH, POISON IDEA, HELLHAMMER, DISCHARGE and VOID, amongst others. ARSON ANTHEM will never give way to what the societal masses want them to conform to, as by example their previous musical incarnations.
