Although their name is pretty innovative, unfortunately their music isn't. Arsonists play a speedy brand of hardcore influenced metal with some keyboards thrown in here and there to mix things up. The vocals switch between low-end cookie monster and a crunchier version of Kermit the frog which somewhat makes up for the lack of originality in the song writing. Don't get me wrong, there are some interesting things happening rhythmically, at times the guitars make you turn your head, and although mostly unnecessary, the keyboards do make some cool sounds every now and then. Overall, "Hits from the Bow" is a solid debut from this new band, but I'm not sure if it will really woo people in mass numbers. This is the type of band that I assume is fantastic live and if they hit the road enough they will definitely make a name for themselves. Songs like "Canadian Unigod" and "City of Angels Cakewalk" are the most memorable tracks, however you must wade through twenty minutes of medio-core before meeting them.
