Arch Enemy vocalist Alissa White-Gluz has checked in with the following:

"Is it hard to be vegan? Absolutely not. It would be hard to NOT be vegan.

Here's an interview I did with Peta2 in Berlin where we discussed my greatest passion, animal rights! Although we just scratch the surface here, the reason I'm so passionate about living vegan is because it benefits the environment (fauna and flora), humans in other parts of the world, animals and my own health. I've been vegan for 15 years now and I have yet to find a lifestyle that gives as much back to the planet. The way I see it, I am lucky to be alive and well and I only wish the same for others."

"I'm happy to help anyone interested in this lifestyle and I've rebutted against literally every concern/argument there is over the years, on this page and others. If you have a hard time understanding what it's about, please do some research on your own when you have the time. The facts are there, it's just a matter of accepting reality and choosing to be a part of the solution instead of the problem. Thanks!"

Arch Enemy's new album, War Eternal, has landed at #44 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling approximately 8,000 copies of the album in the US in it's first week out.

Arch Enemy will also make their return to North American soil this October/November. Featuring Kreator, Huntress, and Starkill as support, this headlining trek will be the band's first tour in the States since 2011- and the first US tour to feature new members Alissa White-Gluz (vocals) and Nick Cordle (guitar).

Michael Amott (guitar) comments: "It's been three long years since Arch Enemy last played North America, but now the wait is over! We're riding a veritable metal tsunami in Europe with our new album War Eternal and look forward to spreading the chaos on this N.A. run! Arch Enemy is very proud and excited to be teaming up with Teutonic thrash titans Kreator as well as Huntress and Starkill! Miss this show at your own peril!"

Kreator's Mille Petrozza (vocals, guitar) adds: "Both bands have been talking about touring together for many years, now it becomes reality: Kreator and Arch Enemy on one bill in the US and Canada! We are looking forward to another killer run in support of our album Phantom Antichrist' before we will start writing new stuff in 2015! With Arch Enemy's new album War Eternal being a monster, this will be THE metal tour of the fall. Don't miss it!"
