Arghoslent is an American death metal band from Oakton, Virginia,[1] formed in mid-1990. While acclaimed in the metal underground for their trad metal-influenced brand of galloping riffs and bluegrass-style guitar leads, the band's lyrics have been the source of much controversy.[2] Arghoslent's primary lyrical themes include racism, white supremacy, apologia for the trans-Atlantic slave trade, misogyny, the Holocaust,[3] eugenics, imperialism, and European genocide efforts against Native Americans, among other atrocities.
Arghoslent has finished recording and mixing the songs for their upcoming fourth studio album, Resuscitation of the Revanchists, but no release date has been officially announced. Tracking was delayed due to the travel restrictions caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, until 2022.[4]
