ARCH ENEMY are currently locked up in the Sweet Spot Studio facilities in the south of Sweden, recording their newest studio album - which is being engineered/mixed by Rickard Bengtsson (2005's Doomsday Machine). After releasing the Tyrants Of The Rising Sun – Live In Japan Live DVD/CD (2008) and the re-recordings album The Root Of All Evil (2009), the new studio effort marks the long awaited successor of 2007’s Rise Of The Tyrant album.
