Following is an excerpt from a report filed by Noisecreep.com:

Arch Enemy guitarist Christopher Amott is gearing up to release a proper solo album. While he has finally released two albums from his ARMAGEDDON project in the U.S. and Europe earlier this year, his 'official' solo album, Follow Your Heart will be released under his moniker soon.

"It's not metal," Amott told Nosicreep of his solo endeavor. "It will be released worldwide. It's more of a rock 'n' roll effort. It's pretty psychedelic. It's '70s-stylle and it's me singing. I think it's very intricate and diverse. It's also bluesy and funky."

Sounds like the solo album will show fans another side of Amott's diverse musical personality.

As previously reported, Arch Enemy will embark on a UK headlining tour in April. Support on the inaugural Metal Hammer Meltdown tour will come from SABBAT and ENSLAVED.

Commented Arch Enemy frontwoman Angela Gossow: "We strongly felt its time to visit the shores of The United Kingdom Of Heavy Metal again! We miss you, ladies and gentlemen!!! We only did the Bloodstock festival in 2009. It was a fantastic gig and reminded us of why we love the Amott brothers' homeland so much. Even better, we are bringing the U.K. cult thrashers Sabbat with us and the Norwegian sons of darkness, Enslaved! We will cook up a devastating setlist for this run and won't leave any prisoners behind. Get ready for the Metal Hammer Meltdown attack!"

Metal Hammer magazine editor Alexander Milas comments: "It's been far too long since these shores were blackened by the ball-hefting brutality of Arch Enemy, so imagine our surprise when we heard they were bringing none other than the classic thrash of the almighty Sabbat and the prog-heavy viking metal of Enslaved in tow. It's an honour to hang our banner on what promise to be a truly neck-snapping series of dates. Mosh ahoy!"
