The « War Eternal » video was directed by Patric Ullaeus of Revolver Film Company, who has previously worked with DIMMU BORGIR, LACUNA COIL, IN FLAMES, SONIC
SYNDICATE and KAMELOT, among others.
« War Eternal » will introduce a new member to ARCH ENEMY‘s ranks: Alissa White-Gluz, former vocalist of Canadian extreme metallers THE AGONIST. Angela Gossow, who joined ARCH ENEMY in 2000 and made her debut on the now
classic « Wages Of Sin » (2001), has stepped down as frontwoman and will focus on management, while Alissa takes her place.
Alissa White-Gluz previously stated about her addition to the ARCH ENEMY lineup:
« I am very honored and happy to announce a new chapter in my life and musical career beginning now; I have joined forces with one of my all-time favourite and globally respected
bands, ARCH ENEMY. ‘Wages Of Sin’ was the first metal album I ever bought, and it
was love at first listen.
« It is not often that you get a phone call from your favorite band asking you to join! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such amazingly talented musicians whom I also consider
great friends. I look forward to being able to write and perform at a whole new level now with ARCH ENEMY! Music is forever, metal is
limitless and this is only the beginning! »
« War Eternal » was mixed by Jens Bogren (OPETH, PARADISE LOST, KREATOR)
at Fascination Street in Örebro, Sweden.
ARCH ENEMY will debut new material on a short eastern European tour before the album is released; this trek will then be followed by an
extensive run of European summer festivals, including Sweden Rock Festival, Wacken Open
Air and many more. A full headlining tour in North America and Europe will take place in fall/winter 2014.
ARCH ENEMY in 2012 amicably parted ways with guitarist Christopher Amott and
replaced him with American musician Nick Cordle (ARSIS).
