Arch Enemy
Data dodania 2005-06-08Dodał WouterMichael Amott, guitarist of Swedish melodic death metal formation Arch Enemy, has posted the following update on the band's official website:
"Dear Arch Enemy fans!
Arch Enemy guitar player (and my brother) Christopher Amott wants to take time out and fully concentrate on his studies at home in Sweden.
Christopher completed his work on the new "Doomsday Machine" album, but will not be a part of Arch Enemy’s touring line-up for the foreseeable future. We wish him luck.
Sharing guitar duties with myself for the next few months (including Ozzfest in the US) is our friend Gus G. (FIREWIND, NIGHTRAGE). Gus is an awesome player, truly a world-class shredder. We look forward to having him play with us! If you see him around this summer, buy him a beer!
Considering these recent developments, we have reluctantly decided not to play the festivals scheduled for Europe this summer. We are very sorry to disappoint fans in Europe but we will be undertaking an extensive European tour in the autumn after the release of the album.
The new Arch Enemy album "Doomsday Machine" is probably the most intense and interesting piece of work we have assembled in our career as a band. I was at Andy Sneap’s studio in England these last few days and we put the final touches to the album – it is now mixed and mastered and ready to be delivered to our record labels…finally! Yes, it took longer than we anticipated, but listening to it now…it’s such a big step up for us – on every level. I am excited about the songs, the production and overall ÜBER-METAL feel of this new album!!! It’s definitely been worth all the hard work!
As ever, my deepest thanks go to the Arch Enemy fans whose amazing support and belief inspires us ever onward - Welcome to the Doomsday Machine!
Michael Amott"
As previously reported, Doomsday Machine is due out through Century Media in conjunction with band leader Mike Amott's Savage Messiah Music label, on July 25th in Europe and July 26th in North America.
