ARCH ENEMY - 'Revolution Begins' Single Detailed; Release To Include QUEENSRŸCHE Cover
August 20, 2007, 17 years ago
Having just successfully performed their first shows with returned guitarist Christopher Amott last weekend in the United Kingdom at a special Kerrang! Barfly club show in London and the Bloodstock Festival, metal maestros ARCH ENEMY are proud to unveil details of the first single release off their upcoming new album Rise Of The Tyrant.
The special single is 'Revolution Begins' (artwork pictured) and the tracklisting is: 'Revolution Begins' (4:11), 'Blood On Your Hands' (4:40), 'Walk In The Shadows' (3:07) [QUEENSRŸCHE Cover Version] * Non-Album Track, 'I Am Legend / Out For Blood' (5:36] [Live 2007] * Non-Album Track.
As well as the title track you get another brand new song, the album's lead track 'Blood On Your Hands', which was recently launched on www.myspace.com/archenemy as an exclusive preview track. This special-priced single, packaged in dramatic artwork courtesy of Niklas Sundin, includes 2 very special non-album bonus songs: A cover version of Queensrÿche’s classic 'Walk In The Shadows' and 'I Am Legend / Out For Blood' - Live, recorded earlier in 2007 when the band toured in South America.
Mainman Michael Amott comments on the cover song choice as follows: “We've always had a lot of respect for Queensrÿche, they’ve written so many amazing songs. ‘Walk In The Shadows’ is off their Rage For Order album, which is mine and Sharlee’s (D’Angelo, Bass) favourite Queensrÿche album. We did the song ‘our way’ and it sounds quite different to the original, we just hope the Queensrÿche guys are cool with it if they ever hear it!"
'Revolution Begins' is released August 31st in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, September 3rd in Greece and September 5th in Sweden and Finland.
