ARCH ENEMY singer Angela Gossow has issued the following tour report:

"This tour has been an overwhelming success so far! Rabid Russian fans in Moscow and St. Petersburg, a completely sold-out show in Amsterdam, Holland (with bleeding hearts we had to watch the ticket office turn fans away!), a packed and RAGING French metal inferno in Paris (our best Paris show ever! Unbelievable!!). And now we are gonna hit the UK hard with the 'Defenders Of The Faith' tour! The Manchester Academy is already completely sold-out, London is going to go as well. There are few tickets left for Birmingham and Glasgow – go and get them if you are in the area – You do not wanna miss this package! Arch Enemy, OPETH, DEVILDRIVER and 3 INCHES OF BLOOD will crush all those, who do not believe in METAL! It's gonna be sick!!!"
