Last year, Arch Enemy performed at Loudpark in Saitaba, Japan and during that show, the group was joined on stage by the rest of the original founding members, singer Johan Liiva and Christopher Amott. The first original lineup made Arch Enemy’s first three records Black Earth, Stigmata and Burning Bridges, which are a great three albums, and […]

It’s been a completely insane year of lineup changes for Arch Enemy, what with Angela Gossow stepping aside for Alissa White-Gluz, but they’ve just upped the ante, because now Nevermore guitarist Jeff Loomis is in the band! He replaces Nick Cordle, who understandably, has stepped aside. And while Loomis won’t start until the European tour, […]

The volume of new releases coming out this week defies all logic and reason. If I don’t see at least eight of these new albums on next week’s Billboard 200 list, there is a serious problem! There is no reason for anyone not to buy AT LEAST one of these albums, if not more. So […]

We’ve been pretty excited about new band Ghost Ship Octavius, which started out as a side project for guitarists Christopher Amott (formerly of Arch Enemy) and Matt Wicklund (God Forbid) and former Nevermore drummer Van Williams.

That new project that former Arch Enemy guitarist Christopher Amott and God Forbid guitarist Matt Wicklund came together to make? Well they went ahead and released a new production sampler video via Matt Wicklund’s Youtube channel. The video shows that the band is going to have some insanely shred-tastic guitar […]

After leaving Arch Enemy, Amott released one solo album called Impulses in 2012, but besides announcing his intentions to record a new Armageddon record, has otherwise stayed out of the metal scene. Along […]

We’ve seen rehearsal footage of Arch Enemy with new guitarist Nick Cordle (of Arsis fame). Now, we get to see him in a music video with the Swedish metal group. Metal Hammer’s German edition has recently premiered the new music video for Arch Enemy’s “Under Black Flags We March.” While it’s a typical performance clip, […]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJK2vy7k0oc[/youtube] This past weekend, Arch Enemy released video of them (minus singer Angela Gossow) rehearsing with new guitarist Nick Cordle. The clip may only be about a minute long, but it’s our first glance at Arch Enemy with the Arsis guitarist and Christopher Amott’s replacement. Plus, Cordle kills the solo in “The First Deadly Sin.” […]

Arch Enemy are still going full throttle on the road in support of their latest release Khaos Legions. Sadly, though, they’ll be doing so without guitarist Christopher Amott. It’s been confirmed today that the Swedish/ German metal group have once again parted ways with Christopher Amott, saying: “We thank Christopher for the time he’s worked […]
