Новият ARCH ENEMY "Doomsday Machine" излиза на 22 Август [!] - 24 June 2005
ARCH ENEMY: The new album entitled "Doomsday Machine" is completed! Take a deep breath: On August 22nd 2005 (European release date) the mighty metal universe will never be the same again. The sixth studio album of ARCH ENEMY is probably the most intense and interesting piece of work they have assembled in their career so far. Guitarist & songwriter Michael Amott comments:
“I was at Andy Sneap’s studio in England these last few days and we put the final touches to the album – it is now mixed and mastered and ready to be delivered to our record labels…finally! Yes, it took longer than we anticipated, but listening to it now…it’s such a big step up for us – on every level. I am excited about the songs, the production and overall UBER-METAL feel of this new album!!! It’s definitely been worth all the hard work!”
Songs such as the massive hookline-monster “Nemesis”, which will also be the first video-clip, the pounding “I Am Legend / Out For Blood” or the mighty “Carry The Cross” prove that this band is marching onwards into a new dimension, smashing all boundaries . A majestic piece of extreme Metal art. The disc’s striking cover art was done by acclaimed artist Joachim Luetke (Dimmu Borgir, Destruction, etc.). Michael adds:
“We are all extremely pleased with the artwork for the new album! I had a few ideas initially that I discussed with Joachim on the phone, and when he started sending over images, we were seriously blown away. When you work with creative people of this caliber, you just let them do what they do, so we just let him get on with it. He’s a very productive guy, very sharp. He expanded on the ‘Doomsday Machine’ concept and took it to some really interesting (albeit very dark) places. It’s one of those great situations when the artwork totally works with the music.”
Right now the band is preparing for the mighty Ozzfest tour taking place from July 15th - September 4th all over North America. Besides ARCH ENEMY such high class acts as Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, The Haunted, In Flames, Velvet Revolver and many more are confirmed to perform.
