Arch Enemy played a very special and intimate showcase on March 14th, in Wermelskirchen, Germany at the AJZ Bahndamm – a self-governed youth centre which is well-known for its various underground metal, punk and hardcore shows with a capacity of 200 people. This show kicked off the campaign for the new album, Khaos Legions which will be available all across Europe on May 30th.
Check out some intense live footage from the showcase below:
Only 150 die-hard fans plus journalists from all over Europe witnessed the worldwide premiere of two new songs from the upcoming album. It was hot, it was sweaty and it smelled like "Khaos".
Michael Amott: "Normally, an 'industry'/media show is a quite stiff and slightly boring affair, not so this time! We invited 150 Arch Enemy fans to join us via our Facebook page and voilà - it was ON! We had a blast ripping through the two new songs for the first time on stage, and judging by the crowd reaction - they were feeling it too! A big thanks to all involved; the Century Media crew, AJZ Bahndamm crew, the journalists and of course the amazing fans! This was a perfect start to the Khaos Legions campaign!"
