Arise the Titan is a band that might be unfamiliar to a lot of our readers. Well, let me tell you: if metal is your poison, then this is a band you should know. And if you like to step out of your comfort zone, this is a band to know. They have riffs for days, and I for one love it. Over the years they have shared the stage with the likes of For Today, All Shall Perish, Gwen Stacey, Bury Your Dead, and more. I know I for one am not missing their set at Gnarbeque; it probably will be the heaviest set all weekend. So I’ll see you in the pit!!!!
