Arbiter is a metal band known for their clear-cut mix of many types of metal and hardcore music. From dark, brooding elements to nearly humorous passages, Arbiter's music truly spans the spectrum. Arbiter formed in late 2009 and in late 2010 the band had self-recorded and self-released 'Colossus', their critically acclaimed debut album.

Only a year later and Arbiter will soon unleash their sophomore effort 'Ironclad/Machinations', a "split-album" that explores the concept of having two equal sides to one story. Fans will choose what side of the band's Sci-Fi back-story they align themselves with and defend either 'Ironclad' or 'Machinations' till the end! The side of this album that garners the most support will be likely to stand victorious in the next chapter of the Arbiter story (Arbiter's fourth album)!
