ARCH ENEMY Announce New Record Deal, Set Release Date For New Album

April 29, 2005

ARCH ENEMY have officially signed a new agreement that sees Century Media Records, in conjunction with band leader Mike Amott’s Savage Messiah Music label, become the home for the group’s future albums worldwide outside Southeast Asia. The band is currently wrapping up work on their highly anticipated new full-length album, Doomsday Machine, which is set for a July 26 release in North America (July 25 in Europe). “We have all been working hard in the studio to make the ultimate metal album,” Mike says. “The drums sound totally amazing, as Daniel (Erlandsson, percussion) has excelled himself yet again and the grooves he’s created are catchy but powerful as hell. People will be stunned when they hear what he has done.

“I think all great metal needs that killer mix of classic riffs and ripping solos, something that has been a bit of a dying art recently,” he continues. “We are doing our best to recreate that mix on this new album, and one thing I can guarantee is that there will be tons of guitar for fans to headbang to. All in all, I am really happy with the songs and I believe we have found the right balance of melody and brutality - the ARCH ENEMY trademark! Welcome to the Doomsday Machine.”
