│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Arch Enemy biography 2015 ║ │
│║ "The greatest challenge for me is to keep ║ │
│║ improving every aspect of the compositions and ║ │
│║ arrangements," says ARCH ENEMY founder/guitarist ║ │
│║ Michael Amott about new album, War Eternal. "IÆm ║ │
│║ always searching for æthe perfect ARCH ENEMY ║ │
│║ song.Æ When I started the band in 1995 I had the ║ │
│║ idea to create the most heavy melodic band of ║ │
│║ all time." ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ And he did. Over the course of 19 years, ARCH ║ │
│║ ENEMY, under AmottÆs guidance, crafted 10 ║ │
│║ acclaimed full-lengths, dominated sales charts, ║ │
│║ and toured the globe. If Amott were a smart man, ║ │
│║ heÆd retire now to some tropical island with his ║ │
│║ favorite Michael Schenker records in tow and the ║ │
│║ setting sun on his face. But neither he nor ARCH ║ │
│║ ENEMY are done. Not by a long shot. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ With vocalist Alissa White-Gluz replacing long- ║ │
│║ time frontwoman Angela Gossow in 2014 ║ │
│║ respectively, War Eternal is ARCH ENEMY reborn. ║ │
│║ "Changes in the band lineup are hardly ever ║ │
│║ looked upon favorably by the fans," Amott ║ │
│║ acknowledges, "which I completely understand. ║ │
│║ Nonetheless, it does happen and the changes that ║ │
│║ have been made in the ARCH ENEMY camp were ║ │
│║ necessary in order for the band to survive and ║ │
│║ keep going. I love the energy of working with ║ │
│║ new people and Alissa has certainly brought a ║ │
│║ lot of talent and enthusiasm to the band!" ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ When Amott recruited Angela Gossow to front ARCH ║ │
│║ ENEMY for the Wages of Sin effort, he changed ║ │
│║ extreme metal forever. With White-Gluz, he has a ║ │
│║ new weapon. SheÆs a veritable firebrand on War ║ │
│║ Eternal, her unrelenting roar, cruel rasp and ║ │
│║ unique looks are the mark of a woman ready to ║ │
│║ conquer the world. "My goal is to keep ARCH ║ │
│║ ENEMY alive and thriving!" White-Gluz exclaims. ║ │
│║ "I want to open a whole new chapter for ARCH ║ │
│║ ENEMY, powerful and diverse, all the while ║ │
│║ respecting the legions of fans that love ║ │
│║ traditional ARCH ENEMY. Fans can expect loads of ║ │
│║ pure fucking metal." ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ At 13 tracks, War Eternal is the quintessential ║ │
│║ ARCH ENEMY album. ItÆs both a nostalgic nod to ║ │
│║ the bandÆs past ("Never Forgive, Never Forget", ║ │
│║ "No More Regrets") and stunning example of ║ │
│║ whatÆs possible in the future ("Down to ║ │
│║ Nothing", "Time is Black"). But if thereÆs a ║ │
│║ standout trackùa spearheadùitÆs the title song. ║ │
│║ Unveiled to the world on Youtube, "War Eternal" ║ │
│║ marches defiantly against the mundane, two ║ │
│║ raised fists to the constraints of society and ║ │
│║ the cage it desperately tries to put on us all. ║ │
│║ In it, White-Gluz proves sheÆs the next ║ │
│║ generation of great, while Amott and the rest of ║ │
│║ ARCH ENEMY play as if "War Eternal" is their ║ │
│║ last song. That "War Eternal" amassed an ║ │
│║ astonishing 1.5 million views the first 10 days ║ │
│║ is telling of its conviction and power. "There ║ │
│║ are a lot of details in this album that excite ║ │
│║ me as a songwriter and guitarist," Amott grins. ║ │
│║ "Personally, IÆve pushed myself harder as player ║ │
│║ on War Eternal and feel IÆve gone to another ║ │
│║ level this time, which is very rewarding. I ║ │
│║ actually think the whole band has kicked ║ │
│║ everything up a notch or two." ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Produced by the band and mixed and mastered by ║ │
│║ Jens Bogren (Opeth, Paradise Lost) at ║ │
│║ Fascination Street Studio, the SwedesÆ 10th ║ │
│║ full-length is unrelentingly brutal yet ║ │
│║ remarkably polished. "We could afford any big ║ │
│║ name producer at this stage in the game," says ║ │
│║ Amott. "Having the band produce the album was a ║ │
│║ natural and logical way of working for us at ║ │
│║ this point. It was critical that we bring out ║ │
│║ the true ARCH ENEMY sound, the essence of the ║ │
│║ band on this record and who knows that better ║ │
│║ than us? Jens Bogren did an outstanding mixing ║ │
│║ and mastering the album. It was my first time ║ │
│║ working with him and I am more than impressed ║ │
│║ with his talent." ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The album was hailed as "Album Of The Month" in ║ │
│║ Terrorizer (UK), Powerplay (UK), Metal Hammer ║ │
│║ (Germany), Rock Hard (France), Metallian ║ │
│║ (France), Scream (Norway), Sweden Rock (Sweden) ║ │
│║ and got more than positive reviews all over the ║ │
│║ world; additionally, War Eternal achieved ║ │
│║ career-best chart positions for the band in the ║ │
│║ USA (#44), Germany (#9), Finland (#5), France ║ │
│║ (#56), and The Netherlands (#36), plus the best ║ │
│║ UK chart entry (#85) since Doomsday Machine ║ │
│║ (#81). ARCH ENEMY were also honored to appear on ║ │
│║ the front covers of Revolver (USA), Legacy ║ │
│║ (Germany), Rock Hard (France), Inferno ║ │
│║ (Finland), Up (Netherlands), Aardschok ║ │
│║ (Netherlands), Metal Maniac (Italy), Pro Rock ║ │
│║ (Bulgaria), Into The Pit (Thailand) and many ║ │
│║ more magazines. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Right after the release of War Eternal, the band ║ │
│║ kicked off their eternal touring with sublime ║ │
│║ festival shows at Wacken, Sweden Rock and many ║ │
│║ more, followed by a world tour with Kreator ║ │
│║ (with whom they released a split 7" single later ║ │
│║ in October 2014). ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ During the USA headline tour with Kreator, the ║ │
│║ band decided to part ways with guitarist Nick ║ │
│║ Cordle. Christopher Amott (the brother of ARCH ║ │
│║ ENEMY founder/bandleader Michael Amott) joined ║ │
│║ the band for the remainder of their American ║ │
│║ headlining tour and Jeff Loomis (ex-Nevermore) ║ │
│║ stepped in for the following European dates with ║ │
│║ Kreator. Jeff will continue for another busy ║ │
│║ year in 2015 and beyond. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Jeff Loomis states: "I'm very excited to be ║ │
│║ playing with ARCH ENEMY. Michael Amott and I ║ │
│║ have stayed in contact over the years since we ║ │
│║ toured together when I was playing in Nevermore. ║ │
│║ Not only do I admire his guitar playing and ║ │
│║ songwriting, but I also consider him a close ║ │
│║ friend. To be able to share the stage with ║ │
│║ Michael, Sharlee, Daniel and Alissa is something ║ │
│║ I'm really looking forward to. 2015 is going to ║ │
│║ be a great year... See you all on tour!" ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Michael Amott (guitars) comments: "The prospect ║ │
│║ of working with Jeff Loomis moving forward is ║ │
│║ truly awesome! Jeff Loomis is one of the best ║ │
│║ guitar players in the metal world in my opinion, ║ │
│║ as well as being a long time friend. I look ║ │
│║ forward to tearing it up on stages around the ║ │
│║ world together as we continue on the æWar ║ │
│║ Eternal' touring cycle throughout all next year ║ │
│║ and beyond!" ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ There is no doubt that ARCH ENEMY are stronger ║ │
│║ than ever before. And the war is not over yet. ║ │
