Available for streaming below is Arch Enemy’s cover of punk thrashers Skitslickers’ “The Leader (Of The Fuckin’ Assholes)”, featured on the Råpunk EP, to be included in the limited edition deluxe box set edition of Arch Enemy’s new album, Will To Power.

Will To Power will be released on September 8th via Century Media Records. The album's captivating cover artwork was designed by Alex Reisfar.

Guitarist Michael Amott commented on the artwork: "It was a pleasure working with Alex Reisfar on the Will To Power cover artwork, he immediately grasped the concept and atmosphere we were looking for with this album. We talked about the double edged sword that is human ambition, how it can be outstandingly creative and beautiful but can also be turned into something dark and powerful. Alex proceeded to masterfully paint a strong image that evokes a lot of feelings. The human skull as a central focal point, the flesh sort of falling off into the circular pattern. The snake ouroboros weaving in and out of the mouths and throats of the severed heads of a wolf, a goat and a vampire bat... All representing self determination and a predatory, almost parasitic will to power.”
