Century Media Records — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:02:05 GMT

ARCH ENEMY PRESENTS NEW VIDEO FOR "UNDER BLACK FLAGS WE MARCH" Before the Swedish metal powerhouse went to Asia and Australia to present their latest album Khaos Legions on their ongoing world tour, they found time to finish the third video for the album, "Under Black Flags We March". The video was once again produced by the Swedish director Patric Ullaeus (IN FLAMES, DIMMU BORGIR, etc.), and is the first video to feature the new guitarist Nick Cordle (from the US band ARSIS) who replaced Chris Amott earlier this year. The video for "Under Black Flags We March" can be viewed exclusively at Metal Hammer Germany here ARCH ENEMY singer Angela Gossow will host the annual Metal Hammer Germany Awards that takes place in Berlin on September 14th, 2012. ARCH ENEMY is nominated in the "Best Band" category and Michael Amott is also nominated as "God Of Riffs". Click here to vote for them now: www.metal-hammer.de/news/article288313/metal-hammer-awards-2012-eure-stimmen-zaehlen.html Michael Amott (guitar) comments on the video: "It was a pleasure as always to work with our friend Patric Ullaeus on this video, which will be the fourth clip he's made for us and he really is a consummate professional-- truly excellent stuff! He's captured a very suitable and cool vibe on this one too. The track itself, 'Under Black Flags We March', is a song that we've played at every ARCH ENEMY show since we released the 'Khaos Legions' album last year, we love playing it as it's a change of pace in our frantic live set and it's going down really well with audiences worldwide too. We felt this pounding metal anthem deserved a visual companion, so here it is! A couple of things to listen out for: we had a our new guitarist Nick Cordle throw down a little lick on the song and had audio master Andy Sneap remix the song a little...So, a few minor tweaks here and there to make it something special for this visual/sonic assault! Under Black Flags We March!"

Arch Enemy: : CHRISTOPHER AMOTT PART WAYS, RECRUIT REPLACEMENT

Century Media Records — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 11:35:30 GMT

ARCH ENEMY AND CHRISTOPHER AMOTT PART WAYS, RECRUIT REPLACEMENT ARCH ENEMY have parted ways with guitarist Christopher Amott in an amicable split. Christopher Amott was a member of ARCH ENEMY between 1996-2005 and again between 2007-2011. The following is a joint statement from ARCH ENEMY: "We thank Christopher for the time he's worked with the band and of course wish him the very best in his future endeavors. Thankfully, there is no drama behind the scenes here. This is the best way forward for all involved. Christopher simply does not feel at home with playing extreme metal anymore. We have already chosen and rehearsed with a new guitar player and we will complete the 'Khaos Legions' 2012 touring cycle as planned. We are highly motivated and look forward to continue spreading our music around the world! Finally, our deepest thanks go to the ARCH ENEMY fans, whose amazing support and belief inspires us ever onward." ARCH ENEMY are pleased to welcome 26-year-old American guitarist Nick Cordle on board as they continue their touring activity following the release of their recent album, Khaos Legions (2011). Founding guitarist Michael Amott comments: "Nick was my first choice as he ticks all the right boxes for Arch Enemy with his musicality and technicality as well as his personality and dedication. Looking forward to having him join us stage, the rehearsals have shown we have a devastating twin axe attack going on!" Nick Cordle was raised in a musical family in Virginia by parents who teach classical piano and was immersed in 19th century piano music as a child. Rachmaninoff, Brahms, and Liszt are his early memories. There were piano and violin lessons from a very early age but a rebellious streak led to the guitar at the age of 10, and within a few years he discovered the classic thrash metal albums by Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer. This was his first real musical passion and gateway into extreme music. Nick studied jazz and music theory at the University of Virginia from 2003 to 2007 but remains self taught in the ways of "shred" and metal. Shortly thereafter, he joined American death metal band ARSIS playing bass and guitar over a three year period performing with them on various European tours and countless gigs across the US, Canada, and Mexico as well as performing and writing on their most recent album Starve For The Devil (2010).

Arch Enemy: : HEAVY METAL'S ENEMY OF SOCIAL INJUSTICE TAKES A STAND Arch Enemy to team up with Amnesty International for upcoming North American tour

Century Media Records — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 15:11:00 GMT

HEAVY METAL'S ENEMY OF SOCIAL INJUSTICE TAKES A STAND Arch Enemy to team up with Amnesty International for upcoming North American tour SWEDEN - Sweden's outspoken and influential heavy metal band, Arch Enemy, has joined forces with the worldwide human rights organization, Amnesty International, to help raise awareness of social injustices around the world. Amnesty International booths will be present at many of the upcoming dates on Arch Enemy's headlining US tour, "North American Khaos 2011," to hand out flyers and accept fans' signatures in support of the cause. Arch Enemy vocalist, Angela Gossow, stated, "We have invited Amnesty International to join us on the 'North American Khaos' tour to help raise awareness for defending human rights, freedom of speech and saving lives. We are living in very extreme and turbulent times and it is important to take a stand. We hope one day everybody is allowed to freely say what they think, that no government has the right to punish and kill those who do not conform and that those who are oppressing the masses will be brought to justice. It will be a long and hard struggle, but it's a goal worth fighting for. The metal scene is non-conformist, alternative and revolutionary - We know how to practice what others preach. So let's go out there and support the cause! Go to www.amnesty.org for more info or check out their booth at some of our shows!" The supporting bands on the tour have also joined in on the fight. Chthonic added, "Freedom to create is the fundamental to artist's dignity as freedom of speech is the fundamental to human rights for all human beings. We should fight for those who are denied these privileges in other parts of the world so that they will be entitled to these rights one day." Arch Enemy's headlining North American tour, "MetalSucks and Full Metal Jackie Present: North American Khaos 2011," will kick off next week in Baltimore. DevilDriver, Skeletonwitch and Chthonic will round out the impressive lineup for the band's North American leg of its World tour in support of the recently released, Khaos Legions, which hit stores in June on Century Media Records. A commercial for the upcoming tour can be seen here.
