New Arch Enemy CD - Rise Of The Tyrant
 

Arch Enemy has been an amazing band for years now, arguably one of the best metal bands in the entire world. Their CD Wages Of Sin was the start of it all when they got female vocalist Angela Gossow.

Since then they've released 2 studio albums and now it's time for another. Their last CD Doomsday Machine was amazing, production alone sealed the deal with killer drum mixing. Listening to it on a surround sound system brings a tear to my eye.

To say it simply I had high expectations for this new CD, Rise Of The Tyrant. I got my hands on a sound board demo version. It's very rough and there's beeps every 20 seconds but the music is the music no matter the quality. I can only imagine how much more I'll love it when I hear the full album because it won me over with just this demo.

The CD seriously knocked my socks off and I instantly fell in love with it, which is different because even my favorite CDs I mostly hated the first time I listened to them.

So in September when this CD comes out I recommend any metal fan pick this up it's one of the best metal releases of it's kind I've heard in a long time.

Anyone else looking forward to this CD or listen to AE for that matter?

Oh, yeah. :D

I'm glad someone else likes them, the fact your from Sweden doesn't surprise me.

hehe. :P

If everything goes as planned I'll see them live in december when The Black Crusade comes to Stockholm. :P

But then... It's 50 miles (the sort of mile that means 10 kilometres:roll: ) to Stockholm... >.<

I envy you believe me, many a metal band I love has played there. Sweden is like the metal capitol of the world. That's where all the good stuff comes from anyways.

If I lived there I'd be seeing Children Of Bodom, Dark Tranquillity, and Arch Enemy every year. I see DT every year and I try to see AE every year but COB doesn't come to the states every year.

I also miss out on seeing bands like Nightrage and Dimension Zero who don't tour here at all*Nightrage did once but they played a 21 and older only bar!*

And me and my friends think the same way about the U.S. :roll:

But then, people from every country (maybe with the exception of Germany:|) probably thinks the same way about another country. :P

haha doesn't surprise me. My favorite bands love bands I can't stand. I always assumed it's because it's different from what they hear all the time where they live.

Which is why I love them, their something fresh.

This CD is really tearing up my I-pod. I decided I like it the best out of all their CDs which I listened to back to back so I could be sure. I just hope the production is better on the finial version.
