ARCH ENEMY: New York City Concert Footage Available

September 26, 2007

The wait is finally over as "Rise of the Tyrant", the highly anticipated new album by ARCH ENEMY has hit stores all across Europe and North America. The CD is already being hailed as one of the best metal releases of 2007 and the band's strongest effort in years so guitarist Michael Amott is glad to finally unleash this massive metal assault upon the music scene.

"The positive feedback [to the new album] so far is absolutely overwhelming!" said Amott. "We've never had this much praise from fans and media alike in the history of the band. I guess we nailed it with this one! I am personally very proud of the fact that we've made an extreme metal album that encapsulates everything I still love about the genre and all the things that attracted me to the scene a few hundred years ago!"

"Rise of the Tyrant" is available in Europe in the following formats with alternate cover artwork coloring: CD; limited edition CD including O-Card packaging, uncoated booklet paper and a bonus 3" mini-DVD; and LP format with the bare CD as special bonus. The mini-DVD of the limited-edition release includes impressive live footage filmed in South America on ARCH ENEMY's headlining tour early 2007.

The band is currently touring the U.S. with MACHINE HEAD and will return to Europe in November/December 2007 on the "Black Crusade" tour with MACHINE HEAD, DRAGONFORCE, TRIVIUM and SHADOWS FALL.

Commented Michael Amott: "We are still in the U.S. on the road with the 'Black Tyranny Tour' together with MACHINE HEAD, THROWDOWN and SANCTITY. The shows have all been killer and we are enjoying playing our one hour set of 'pure fucking metal' to our enthusiastic fans — you guys are so amazing, we can tell you missed us while we were away making the record! Thank you for making us feel so welcome! I have, of course, been watching the other bands on the bill and I have to say this is very cool tour package with four bands making glorious noise, all in their own way! Don't miss it!"
