Arbitrage

Industrial / Metal
Custer, Washington, USA

In 1988, Ross Assink and Ernie Pratt formed Arbitrage as a classic hard rock band in Washington State; Pratt left after one year, however, and Assink shifted to an industrial-metal sound with heavy guitars and samples. He released a collection of demos and then three independent albums: Music for the Sacrifice, The Healing Power of Death (1992) and Propitiation Complete: The Shedding of Deity's Blood (1994). Assink also works in the industrial-noise project Citadel of Susa with his wife Monica.

(from http://www.allmusic.com/artist/arbitrage-mn0001797165/biography)

From Screams of Abel: “Washington State death/industrial band Arbitrage have released their THIRD demo, The Healing Power of Death, including a 24-minute long epic, “Land of Hypocrisy”, making Arbitrage the band with the longest recorded song in heavy Christian music (congrats!)”
