ARCH ENEMY: 'Tyrants Of The Rising Sun' Sample Track Posted Online

October 20, 2008

Swedish/German extreme metallers ARCH ENEMY have released the first track from their forthcoming DVD+CD set, "Tyrants Of The Rising Sun: Live In Japan". Check out the song "Taking Back My Soul" (the original studio version appears on 2005's "Doomsday Machine") at this location.

"Tyrants Of The Rising Sun: Live In Japan" will be released in Europe on November 24 and in North America on November 25 via Century Media. The DVD contains a live show filmed in Tokyo earlier this year, an in-depth 40 minute road-movie feature, and all promotional videos that have been shot for the band's latest album, "Rise Of The Tyrant".

Commented ARCH ENEMY vocalist Angela Gossow: "It is a great reward to make studio songs come alive — and they truly take another shape and form on stage! They turn from being a 'rocking tune' into beasts, full of emotions. The songs suddenly have their own heart beat and their blood runs through thousands of people in the audience — making them a crucial part of the music! Singing along, screaming, shouting, crying, cheering — This huge powerful choir we could never summon in a studio recording."

She added, "I am very happy we got the opportunity to capture the beauty and the brutality of ARCH ENEMY live in Japan! Choosing Andy Sneap to mix and master 'Tyrants Of The Rising Sun' is the icing on the cake. Now we only got about another 666 countries left we would like to shoot a live video from, haha!

"Thank you for keeping us alive! Feel the blood, taste the sweat, hear the roar of The Tyrants! The Tyrants Of The Rising Sun!"
