They are playing some kind of strange music, the ARSONISTS who get all the girls…Metal with partly weird keyboards, surprising breaks, impelling guitars chords, technical interplays and eruptive Death Metal parts are ingredients of their broad mixture.
Consequently the sound is really demanding and also sweeping, sometimes hard to take and overloaded. In last named cases, the ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS mix up doom-like core with neck-breaking progressive Death Metal; breakdowns go together with crazy guitar licks – and the result is kind of sludge-death-core music or something like that ;) - you can listen to this during the track My Cup’s Half Empty.
This semi-sludge mixture comes into operation a few times more and it needs therefore some turns to find the essence in music. The technical approach is really admirable, if it is well dosed. Despite that fact, common structures are hard to find, easy-listening-music sounds completely different for sure!
In contrast, a catchy track like In The Empyreans is quite normal in the beginning, ere crazy ideas sweep away this impression immediately. Every now and then, the turns come across in extreme style, so that I can hardly believe that the song stays the same. Mentioned tune offers a harmonious guitar solo in addition.
Afterwards, variable and partly chaotic mingle-mangle-metal dominates anew; the tunes can fascinate and get enervating at the same time because of the complex arrangements. Interim, very nice melodies by guitars and keyboards flash through. Over and above, some jazzy interplay comes around the corner like in the song I Lost My Loss Of Ruin.
The band got a huge portion of humor, which is proved by the totally weird, extra-terrestrial last minutes of this release.

The ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS don’t give a dime to genre boundaries – while listening to Portals you have to expect the unexpected, everything can happen, I warned you! :)
