ARCH ENEMY have launched a cover version of the DREAM EVIL classic track ‘The Book Of Heavy Metal’ (originally released on DE’s album The Book Of Heavy Metal in 2004), posted at www.myspace.com/centurymediaeurope.

The track comes off Covering 20 Years Of Extremes, Century Media’s special 20th anniversary compilation, which is available in stores now. It contains 32 mostly exclusive recordings where CM artists cover songs from other acts within the label’s repertoire and the result is a fascinating journey through the label’s impressive musical spectrum. Until the end of the year, Century Media will share some of these tracks with you in weekly turns at www.myspace.com/centurymediaeurope.

In related news, Arch Enemy are set to release their brand-new live album as DVD and CD on November 24th. Tyrants Of The Rising Sun - Live In Japan contains a stunning live-show filmed in Tokyo earlier this year, an in-depth 40 minutes road-movie feature, and all promo video clips so far shot for the band’s latest album-masterpiece Rise Of The Tyrant. Further details on the formats and packaging will be disclosed soon.

Sweden's melodic metal overlords Dream Evil recently released Gold Medal In Metal (Alive & Archive), their first live-release as DVD and CD, including a comprehensive bonus-CD compilation of more than an hour of quality rare and unreleased studio tracks.

The 2-CD (playing time of over 2 hours) and the special DVD version (playing time of the DVD is over 100 minutes and both audio CD’s are included in this package as well) are a complete guide into the vaults of Dream Evil and a trip to the core of true metal at its very rockin’ best.
