Having just skirted through the east coast with GOD FORBID and SWORN ENEMY, ARCH ENEMY will be back to tackle three west cost shows in the US. Guitarist, Mike Amott posted the following enthusiastic message on the band’s official website:

“These shows will be so cool, they will be the last performances by the band in the USA supporting our Wages Of Sin album ??” In January we are doing a few selected European dates and then we head in to the creative dungeon that is our rehearsal room, which by the way needs a good cleaning at the moment!

“Anyway, we are totally psyched about returning to the west coast for three more shows (we will have just played the Beast Feast festival in Japan when we fly in) and what better way to end it all than at the Troubadour where we played our first ever show with Angela [Gassow, vocalist] in back March this year…seems like 10 years ago ??” so much has happened since then!

“We look forward to seeing all you crazy ARCH ENEMIES at these shows - let’s celebrate metal and sweat our asses off, take some time out over Christmas/New Year, chill out… and then do it all over again in 2003…deal?”

Here are the confirmed dates:
12/17/02 San Francisco, CA @ Slims
12/18/02 Seattle, WA @ Graceland
12/20/02 Los Angeles, CA @ Troubadour
