With 2014 drawing to a close, Famined Records artist Arbiter are going out with a Bang Bang—with a cover of Jessie J’s Top 40 hit of the same name featuring Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj. Arbiter’s version of “Bang Bang” is featured on the Djent Rolls Deep Vol. 2compilation put together by It Djents and The Djent-lemen’s Club in addition to a full-scale release via Famined Records. The compilation, which features other Famined artists Amber Sea and Prime Meridian, may be downloaded for free from HERE. Vocalist Connor Arbiter boasts, “The cover is a total blast to listen to as it pays a hilarious tribute—and parody—to both the original song, pop music and of course the contrasting metal music memes and bands everyone in the community knows and loves.” The band is releasing a lyric video for the cover to make sure Connor’s re-written lyrics and jokes won’t be missed. Arbiter will spend 2015 buckling down to write for their next release.
Arbiter is a staple in the metal realms known for breaking it down, bringing the beef, throwing some stones and keeping their tongues-in-cheek. These self-aware entertainers have Rick-trolled their own fans, showed the world how to write breakdowns with playing cards, and put up 80 other mildly entertaining videos on their official YouTube channel. Fun & games aside, Arbiter has 2 full albums of aggressive & impressive metal blasting through crystal-clear mixes as well as a variety of other fan favorite songs like their “Here Comes Santa Claus” cover song.
