ARCH ENEMY's "Nemesis" Covered Live In One Take Using Distorted Cello (Video)

A musician and YouTube user going by the tag Celloshredder has released a cover of the Arch Enemy classic "Nemesis" using, you guessed it, a cello. Check out the clip below.

Some background info from Celloshredder:

"I initially recorded the whole song in cello standard tuning C, but found it cooler to play it in the original tuning. Therefore I learned to play the song in B tuning and made a new recording.

The song is recorded in one take, live. I recorded the video with a smartphone and the sound with a JamVox and then added them together. The guitar parts are extracted from the song so all "guitar sound" is the sound of my cello, except for the rhythm guitar riffs during the solos."

Arch Enemy presents a new live DVD, As The Stages Burn!, of their largest stage production to date from their performance last summer at the Wacken Open Air festival in Germany. This performance marks the pinnacle of a highly successful album campaign in support of War Eternal.

It all began in March of 2014 when the band announced new vocalist Alissa White-Gluz as well as the video for the album title track, "War Eternal". This debut track went on to become the bands most successful video in their career, surpassing 20 million views on YouTube. The release of the War Eternal album also saw Arch Enemy reaching their highest US and German chart positions to date while going on to play over 200 shows in over 40 countries around the world. In late 2014, Jeff Loomis (ex-Nevermore) joined Arch Enemy during the world tour with Kreator and in 2015 they played arenas as direct support for Nightwish.

The DVD highlights an impressive live production fans have never seen before. As The Stages Burn! is scheduled for a worldwide release through Century Media Records on March 31st. More details will be revealed shortly, stay tuned.
