Having wrapped up yet another European leg of touring, road warrior Arch Enemy have checked in with the following update:
"The last five weeks on the road have been simply sensational! So many killer shows and fantastic memories. A huge thanks to our road crew and the whole team behind the scenes, as well as the incredible Arch Enemy fans (without whom none of this would be possible).We're taking ten days off to recuperate and then we'll be back! Don't forget to check if we'll be playing close to you!
War Eternal!"
Arch Enemy will return to North America this July/August to headline the 2015 installment of Summer Slaughter. Featuring Born Of Osiris, Veil Of Maya, The Acacia Strain, Obscura, After The Burial, Cattle Decapitation, and Beyond Creation as support, this tour will mark the band's second North American run on this album cycle - but the first stateside trek to feature new guitarist Jeff Loomis.
Arch Enemy founder and guitarist Michael Amott comments: "Very pleased to be returning to North America on our current 'War Eternal' campaign...It's an absolute honor to headline the 2015 edition of the legendary Summer Slaughter tour! See you all very soon!"

Arch Enemy recently released a digital single for the track “Stolen Life” (2015 Version). This brand-new version of the song that was originally released on the 2014 album, War Eternal, features additional lead/solo parts of their new guitarist Jeff Loomis and is available as of now.
Get “Stolen Life” (2015 Version) via iTunes or AmazonMP3. A new video for “Stolen Life” (2015 Version), which was directed and produced by Carlos Toro V. (Abysmo Films), can be seen below. It was filmed in Chile during their recent Latin America tour in early 2015.
Michael Amott comments: "I can't believe it's been almost a year since we released the War Eternal album! Time flies when you're having fun huh?! We're just starting up our summer tour here in Europe and there's still a long way to go - we're booked up till Christmas! There has been such an amazing reaction to the new music and lineup and it is really keeping us motivated. Having Jeff Loomis out with us on the road is fantastic. A fine player and a true gentleman. I'm super happy that he could throw down a couple of leads on this new exciting version of "Stolen Life", it really adds some new fire to the song. On our recent tour in Latin America we had the opportunity to film a video for our new single. It was a really good experience working with the talented Abysmo team and I'm more than happy with the end result! I look forward to seeing you all out there on the road..."
