ARCH ENEMY vocalist Angela Gossow has posted the third round of her "Ask Angela" Q&A; with the fans. An excerpt appears below:

Q: As a songwriter, how do you deal with writer's block, like writing opening lyrics for a song?

Angela: "I read a good book, browse through poetry and simply listen to the song over and over again. I always get a vibe and find some words that would sound good which I try to incorporate into the lyrics. I find it rather easy writing lyrics. I read A LOT. I think this helps tremendously."

Q: Tell us about each of the members of your band and what they bring to the group both musically and personally to make Arch Enemy what it is.

Angela: "We are five very different characters but we do share the same (musical) vision: melodic yet extreme metal. Let me start with Michael: he is the heart of Arch Enemy. He writes most of the music and is involved in all steps: from the first note to the final product, a recorded, mixed and mastered album with artwork, booklet, etc. Also stage production and crew. Christopher on the other hand is single-minded musical. He pays attention to detail and brings in all these intricate little pieces of music. Daniel contributes to the song writing as well. His other strong asset is being an excellent engineer. He is down with the latest equipment and deals with all technical aspects. Sharlee is our social animal. He isn’t involved much in writing music and band business but he makes sure we look good on stage and represents us in the party zone backstage ;-) And I write lyrics, have a word in the songwriting as well and I am dealing with the management, the label and all other business related issues."
