Will To Power

• Shrink-wrapped

Few metal bands embody the intensity, integrity and lofty artistic ambitions of the genre with more dazzling aplomb than Arch Enemy. Formed in Sweden in the mid-90s by former Carcass/Carnage guitarist Michael Amott, in 2017, they’re primed to rise again toward pure metal supremacy. Replacing Angela Gossow one of the most iconic vocalists of the modern age was never going to be easy, but in the shape of former ‘The Agonist’ frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz, Arch Enemy found the perfect candidate. Unveiled on the ferocious, anthem-laden triumph of 2014’s ‘War Eternal’, Alissa’s powerful identity and extraordinary vocal talents proved a natural and instantly welcomed fit. Recorded in 2017, the tenth Arch Enemy album will be unleashed later in 2017 and promises to be the ultimate statement of heavy metal supremacy from a band that are still growing in stature as the years fall away. Will To Power will be the first album the band have recorded with their current line-up and as Michael Amott explains, diehard fans will be both thrilled to hear their favourite band on top form and somewhat surprised by their latest creative explorations.
