Arch Enemy - Stolen Life

The Swedish melodic death metal band ARCH ENEMY have released their fourth music video "Stolen Life" and the first track from the latest album "War Eternal" with the new guitarist Jeff Loomis.

ARCH ENEMY the Swedish melodic death metal band, originally a supergroup, from Halmstad, formed in 1996. Its members were in bands such as CARCASS, ARMAGEDDON, CARNAGE, MERCYFUL FATE, SPIRITUAL BEGGARS and EUCHARIST. It was founded by CARCASS guitarist Michael Amott along with Johan Liiva, who were both originally from the influential death metal band CARNAGE. The band has released nine studio albums, two live albums, three video albums and three EPs. The band was originally fronted by Johan Liiva, who was replaced by German Angela Gossow as lead vocalist in 2000. Gossow left the band in March 2014 and was replaced by Canadian Alissa White-Gluz, while remaining as the group's manager.

On March 17, 2014, Gossow released a statement announcing her departure from the group and welcoming her replacement, former vocalist of Canadian extreme metal band THE AGONIST, Alissa White-Gluz. In the statement, she wrote that while she had enjoyed her time with the group, it was time for her to move on, be with her family and pursue other interests. Gossow did confirm that she would remain ARCH ENEMYs business manager, and would be "passing the torch to the super talented Alissa White-Gluz, whom I’ve known as a dear friend and a superb vocalist for many years. I always thought she deserved a chance to shine – and now she’s getting it. Just like I got that chance back in 2001."

White-Gluz also released a statement saying: "I am very honoured and happy to announce a new chapter in my life and musical career. Wages of Sin was the first metal album I ever bought, and it was love at first listen. It is not often that you get a phone call from your favourite band asking you to join! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such amazingly talented musicians whom I also consider great friends. I look forward to being able to write and perform at a whole new level now with ARCH ENEMY! Music is forever, metal is limitless and this is only the beginning!"

Setup today:

Alissa White-Gluz − lead vocals
Michael Amott − lead and rhythm guitar, keyboards
Jeff Loomis − lead and rhythm guitar
Sharlee D'Angelo − bass guitar
Daniel Erlandsson − drums

Todays tune "Stolen Life" is taken from the ninth studio album "War Eternal", which was released on June 9, 2014 by Century Media. It is the first ARCH ENEMY album in 13 years to feature a new line-up, with Alissa White-Gluz on vocals after former long-time vocalist Angela Gossow stepped down from vocal duties to be the band's business manager, along with ex-ARSIS guitarist Nick Cordle replacing Christopher Amott in 2012. Cordle left the band just before their European tour and was replaced by former NEVERMORE Guitarist Jeff Loomis.

A fourth music video for the track "Stolen Life" was released on 5th May 2015 which was the first to include Jeff Loomis on guitar. The track was different to the studio version, as it includes 2 extra solos recorded by Loomis.

Arch Enemy - Bloodstained Cross

The Woman Of Metal came to Sweden, Stockholm, Tyrol....
Angela Gossov, she brought with her The Band, Arch Enemy Im in heaven!!!

This band originnaly come from Halmstad in Sweden formed in 1996, Its members were in bands such as Carcass, Armageddon, Carnage, Mercyful Fate, Spiritual Beggars, and Eucharist to name a few. The guys who gave the band its birth was Carcass guitarist Michael Amott along with Johan Liiva, who were both originally from the influential death metal band Carnage.

The gig was very dynamic and they gave it all, the guys were playing like never b4 and Angela was singing like a Belsebub God :D

They released their 8th album in May this year, its called, "Khaos Legions".
The drummer Daniel Erlandsson said about the album:
"We had a very inspiring and creative time writing this album. I think this is definitely evident when listening to the new songs. There's tons of variation in the material, ranging all the way from very melodic to extremely heavy.
As you can expect there's no shortage of killer riffs and intricate guitar work; the Amott brothers [Michael and Chris] have come up with some very cool yet demanding ideas! This album has some of the fastest songs I've ever recorded, along with a bunch of heavy pounding mid-tempo songs. As always, it's difficult to describe music in words, but rest assured — this album will be one heavy fucker!"

Mercyful Fate - Come To The Sabbath

 

Mercyful Fate is a Danish heavy metal band from Copenhagen. Initially active from 1981 to 1985, they reunited in 1992. The band went on hiatus again in 2000, when frontman King Diamond decided to continue his solo career. They are cited as major influences by many artists in the black metal, thrash metal, power metal, and progressive metal genres.

Seance, a blogging colleague has a brief history lesson of Mercyful Fates musical career, easy to read and very content rich, divided into two parts, part one you read here and part two here. However, this in Swedish, so use Google Translate, and it becomes about right. :) I got very inspired by these lines so Mercyful Fate has spun in the headphones today. My choice was a classic with this band and album "Don't Break The Oath"

Todays tune "Come To The Sabbath" is taken from Mercyful Fate's second full-length album "Don't Break The Oath". It was released in 1984.

Live At Dynamo 1993



Mercyful Fate live at Phillips Monsters of Rock - Sao Paulo - Brazil - 1996.



King Diamond "Come To The Sabbath" Apirl 29, 2005 Sauget, IL



The style Mercyful Fate employed on Don't Break The Oath resembled a mixture of post-Judas Priest and Iron Maiden heavy metal, lyrically preoccupied with Satan and the occult and distinguished by King Diamond's theatrical falsetto vocals. The album was remastered and subsequently re-issued on Roadrunner Records in 1997. This reissue came with the bonus track, "Death Kiss (Demo)," which would eventually evolve into the album's lead-off track, "A Dangerous Meeting."

Metal-Rules.com named "Don't Break the Oath" as the greatest extreme metal album of all time.
