"I owe more than a few people an apology at this time," stated Arsis guitarist Jim Malone (second from left, above) in a recent press release. Jim publicly speaks on the recent tour cancellations the band has made with The Faceless and Carcass and the progress made trying to get back on his feet .

"Without going into too many details, let's just say that there is no healthy way lose 100 pounds in 4 months, as I did late last year.
