These Arms Are Snakes is a hardcore/mathrock band that emerged from the remains of Killsadie and Botch, featuring former members of both. With their unique blend of aggressive sound and intricate rhythms, they quickly gained recognition in the music scene. However, after a successful run, the band decided to part ways in January 2010.
Influenced by bands like Young Widows, Bear Vs. Shark, and The Blood Brothers, These Arms Are Snakes created a distinct musical style that resonated with fans of hardcore and mathrock genres. Their energetic performances and thought-provoking lyrics captivated audiences worldwide.
Although no longer active as a band, These Arms Are Snakes' legacy lives on through their powerful discography. Fans can still enjoy their influential works such as "Oxeneers or The Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home" and "Tail Swallower & Dove."

Seattle's art-core outfit These Arms Are Snakes never really fit in anywhere. Over the course of their 2003 debut EP they vacillated between epileptic fits of '90s DIY post-hardcore, woozy narcotic jam-outs, fortified classic rock riffage, and slow-churning cataclysmic dirges. The band continued on a path made even more confusing but undeniably invigorating by the jarring synth hooks and four-on-the-floor pulse of their first album Oxeneers and the prog-rock forays of their sophomore full-length Easter. When it came time to record their final album Tail Swallower &amp; Dove, the band was less interested in charting out new territories and more focused on turning their myriad of approaches into one cohesive sound. From the chugging thrust and Heldon-esque breakdown of dueling synth and guitars on "Woolen Heirs", to the jagged noise rock of "Red Line Season", to the 8-bit sludge of "Lucifer", to the climactic twang-and-crunch of side closers "Ethric Double" and "Briggs", These Arms Are Snakes managed to retain their broad palette of sound while reigning it all in to a cohesive style that continues to defy categorization. As part of their 20th anniversary celebratory series, Suicide Squeeze is proud to offer a limited vinyl repress of Tail Swallower &amp; Dove on 1000 copies of Renal Failure-colored vinyl with expanded gatefold artwork and a download card.
