Arghoslent is an American death metal band from Oakton, Virginia,[1] formed in mid-1990. While acclaimed in the metal underground for their traditional metal-influenced brand of galloping riffs and bluegrass-style guitar leads, the band's white supremacist lyrics have been the source of much criticism.[2] Arghoslent's primary lyrical themes include historical racism, apologia for the trans-Atlantic slave trade, medieval warfare,[3] eugenics,[4] imperialism, and European genocide efforts against Native Americans.

Arghoslent finished recording and mixing the songs for their fourth studio album, Resuscitation of the Revanchists, published on September 21, 2023. Tracking was delayed due to the travel restrictions caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, until 2022.[5]
