March 28, 2007, 17 years ago
After having announced the return of original guitarist Christopher Amott, ARCH ENEMY are now busy with the recordings of the much anticipated follow-up to the band’s most successful album to date Doomsday Machine (2005). The band is currently working on their next metal, yet not titled masterpiece with producer Fredrik Nordström at Sweden’s Studio Fredman, where the band actually recorded all their early albums up to Wages Of Sin (2001). Arch Enemy drummer Daniel Erlandsson checks in with an update on the recording process:
“Greetings all Arch Enemies!As you might know we are currently recording our new album in Studio Fredman in Sweden. It's been a very smooth ride so far, working with engineers Fredrik and Patrik has been fantastic - these guys are pros! Anyway, all the drum tracks are now completed. We recorded a total of 11 new Arch Enemy tracks plus some other extras that I'm sure you will hear about at a later point. The new songs are very fresh at this moment. The new material is very varied, some songs are faster and more extreme than before while some songs are very heavy and melodic - but they all have the Arch Enemy imprint in capital letters! I have no doubt that these songs will please those who like to bang their heads to the sound of pure fucking metal! Check out the pictures from the studio!”
Furthermore, Arch Enemy has been confirmed to headline this year’s Up From The Ground Festival in Gemuenden, German, taking place August 24-25, 2007.
