To say that the west-coast, progressive rock band ARIS is tight is to massively understate the degree to which the band operates as a singular creative powerhouse.
A distorted riff drops from Victor Arellano’s guitar and is launched skyward by the crack of a perfectly placed snare. Drummer Eric Garcia feels it before he hears it. Like a machine, he instantaneously upends the comfort of a common-time ostinato in favor of an odd, loping 7/4 groove that slips under your skin like a beautiful disease.
Bassist Michael Ricci senses the new groove even before it makes its appearance. A synapse fires, a subconscious calculation is made, and his fingers attack the string. As the downbeat strikes he yanks the low-B like a ripcord, deploying a canopy of crunch-driven bass. It all happens in an instant. And then it happens again and again, night after night like clockwork.
Lighting In A Bottle
With one critically-acclaimed EP on the market and another one on the way, ARIS is expanding its horizons. “We finally found our sound,” says Eric, “We found our home.”
“ARIS”, their upcoming self-titled EP is currently in production. The new record will cast the band in a more nuanced, but no less jagged post-metal role.
The guitars will still grind and scream, the kick drum will still hit you in your chest like a shotgun. The low-end will still undulate like a skyscraper waving in a 7.4-magnitude earthquake. None of that has changed.
What’s new is the worldly attitude—a been-there-done-that-confidence that imbues the fabric of each song with an edgy gravitas. It’s a vibe that calls to mind seminal bands Tool, Polyphia, Animals As Leaders and Deftones.
ARIS live shows are dynamic, forceful and unrelenting in its breakneck pace. It will shake you to your core and remind you why you love music.
