Arson Anthem Discography of CDs

Arson Anthem discography Arson Anthem are an underground semi-supergroup featuring vocalist Mike Williams (of Eyehategod), Phil Anselmo (Pantera, Down, Superjoint Ritual, Necrophagia, Christ Inversion) on guitar, Hank Williams III on drums, and the relatively unknown Collin Yeo on bass. This full-length album follows a 2008 self-titled EP, and demonstrates a great leap forward in the band's style and execution.

The production is clear for a punk record, avoiding noisy-for-noisy's-own-sake murk and making this a seriously compelling listen. Anselmo's side projects are sometimes pretty great (Superjoint Ritual) ...
