Arch Enemy

With great power comes greater power still......the words that perhaps best describe the rise of Swedish melodic death metal titans ARCH ENEMY as they stampede on to New Zealand soil for the very first time.

With albums that have charted in over 20 countries, top billing appearances on the world's major metal festivals and a rabid legion of fans the world over, Arch Enemy have invented and reinvented the platform for major worldwide success as a metal act. Between the razor-like riffage of brothers Michael and Christopher Amott, the crushing rhythms of drummer Daniel Erlandsson and the howling, glamazonian voice of vocalist Angela Gossow, this is a band that have set a precedent for sheer metal masterhood that few have followed and fewer have bettered.

Arch Enemy's new album 'The Root of All Evil' will be released worldwide on September 28th, giving New Zealand fans the opportunity to be one of the first countries to hear the band's latest material in a live setting. With much anticipation surrounding the follow-up to 2007's juggernaut release 'Rise of the Tyrant', there will not be a better time to witness one of metal's most vital acts live.
