ARCH ENEMY will unleash their ninth studio album, War Eternal, worldwide via Century Media Records (Trooper Entertainment in Japan) on June 9th in Europe and June 10th in North America. A world tour in support of the album is due to kick off on May 23rd in Bucharest, Romania and new vocalist Alissa White-Gluz (ex-THE AGONIST) has issued a video message to the fans:

The artwork for the album was created by Costin Chioreanu, who previously worked with Michael Amott on SPIRITUAL BEGGARS’ reissue of their self-titled debut.

Chief song-writer, guitarist and band leader Michael Amott comments: “I was looking for a hand-drawn feel with a unique atmosphere, something that would complement the music that we’ve been working so hard on these last couple of years. In the end my choice fell upon Romanian artist Chioreanu Costin, who’s work I’ve admired for some time. Costin really grasped my vision for the artwork and layout, he’s delivered some of the coolest artwork elements we’ve ever had with Arch Enemy!”

War Eternal, was recorded in various studios during winter 2013/2014 and produced by the band themselves with Jens Bogren (OPETH, PARADISE LOST, KREATOR) mixing and mastering the album at Fascination Street Studio.
