India's AGAINST EVIL To Support ARCH ENEMY Guitarist JEFF LOOMIS At Upcoming Show In Delhi

According to The Times Of India, the Visakhapatnam-located band Against Evil have been tapped to support Arch Enemy guitarist Jeff Loomis on December 11th in Delhi

Vocalist/guitarist Sravan Chakravarthi has issued the following statement:

"One of the greatest metal guitarists Jeff Loomis is coming to India for Outrage Festival and we have been chosen to open the event. We have got a 45 minutes to one hour slot and this is a big opportunity for a city band like ours to get international exposure. We have already begun rehearsals as this is a prestigious event and we will get to perform alongside our idol." 

Against Evil made their mark with their six-track album Fatal Assault, released in 2015. The album got a 9/10 review from top UK-based metal and rock magazines.

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.
