Multi-instrumentalist Rabin Miguel recently posted an acoustic cover of Arch Enemy's "War Eternal" and found a fan in the band's vocalist, Alissa White-Gluz. She re-posted the video clip on Facebook along with the following message:

"Wow! This is great! I LOVE the arrangement! I sing our songs in clean vocals sometimes just to fuck around at sound check, but this is next level! Thank you for this beautiful fan art/ tribute! We appreciate all the attention to detail and effort and talent required here!"

Rabin Miguel calls the cover "true death metal rearranged for campfire-situations and such..."

 

 

According to a brief Twitter update from Arch Enemy guitarist / founder Michael Amott, fans can look forward to a new studio album later this year:
