"Instead of the clichéd classics Arbiter spin a web of death metal that’s equally informed by what appears to be an appreciation for Meshuggah, Dillinger Escape Plan and Slipknot alike. Take “Death or Glory”; riffs pile up in a grinding mechanical fervor only to suddenly break free in a trashy hardcore gallop that ends with a soaring post rock melody which evolves into another thunderous riff pile."
"With Colossus, Arbiter exhibits traits that would attract listeners of any genre of music, brutal or benign: well-thought out lyrics, tight musicianship, stylistic diversity, and honest intentions of playing music, earning everything that they achieve through hard work and dedication, and according to the band members themselves, “making people move.”"
