It has been three years since Swedish metallers Arch Enemy released 2014’s War Eternal, the album that introduced us to Alissa White-Gluz as the band’s new singer. Since then, the group has toured all over the place including major festivals such as Heavy Montreal, 70000tons of Metal, and headlining 2016’s Wacken Open Air that features their live release of “As The Stages Burn!”
Now, the group decided to push even further by releasing their forthcoming tenth studio album Will To Power on September 8, 2017, via Century Media Records. The band will kick off the first batch of shows in Eastern Europe, Austria, Finland, and Russia. They plan on having an extensive North American tour in October/November and a full European tour sometime in early 2018.
Guitarist Michael Amott commented:
“After many months of writing and recording in the studio we are delighted to have finally completed work on our 10th studio album, ‘Will To Power’. We are looking forward to sharing new music with you soon.
We are equally excited to announce the first leg of our ‘Will To Power’ world tour… Can’t wait to play new and old songs for our fans, see you all soon!”
