Arch Enemy Release Album Details

Arch Enemy have set the title for the upcoming album to be “War Eternal” and will be released on June 10. Band guitarist Michael Amott said of the album:

“We’ve been producing ourselves, as we did on “Khaos Legions”. We have a clear vision of what we want Arch Enemy to sound like and we can actually achieve it without the help of outside producers, we also have the advantage of having two talented sound engineers among our ranks in Daniel Erlandsson (drums) and Nick Cordle (guitar).

We’ve been tracking at a few different studios here in Sweden, the drums atFascination Street Studio and guitars and bass in another room. We just finished vocals in a third studio with engineer Staffan Karlsson (“Khaos Legions”) and the mix and mastering will done by Jens Bogren at his Fascination Street mixing facility.

Musically, this album is going a few places we haven’t visited before. As our fans have come expect, our albums have all had their own vibe and “War Eternal” will leave its own mark. Lyrically it’s a much more personal record and I feel the songs have more dynamics and depth than ever before, the songs are loaded with strong and vicious metal drenched in tons of melody and emotion. All the trademarks of Arch Enemy are present, just more in your face and turned up to 11.”

He also said of the albums title:

“A lot of times life is a struggle, a war against what I like to call “mental chains” in society that try to prevent you from living life the way you want, trying to stop you from making your dreams come true. I have always resented that and I always will. The title sums up our collective attitude a band as well; stages will be destroyed, eardrums will bleed. There will be no choice. This, ladies and gentlemen, is War Eternal…”
