"ARCH ENEMY" Recruit Replacement to the place of CHRISTOPHER AMOTT

ARCH ENEMY have parted ways with guitarist Christopher Amott in an amicable split. Christopher Amott was a member of ARCH ENEMY between 1996-2005 and again between 2007-2011. The following is a joint statement from ARCH ENEMY:

"We thank Christopher for the time he's worked with the band and of course wish him the very best in his future endeavors.

Thankfully, there is no drama behind the scenes here. This is the best way forward for all involved. Christopher simply does not feel at home with playing extreme metal anymore.

We have already chosen and rehearsed with a new guitar player and we will complete the 'Khaos Legions' 2012 touring cycle as planned. We are highly motivated and look forward to continue spreading our music around the world!

Finally, our deepest thanks go to the ARCH ENEMY fans, whose amazing support and belief inspires us ever onward."

ARCH ENEMY are pleased to welcome 26-year-old American guitarist Nick Cordle on board as they continue their touring activity following the release of their recent album, Khaos Legions (2011).

Founding guitarist Michael Amott comments: 

"Nick was my first choice as he ticks all the right boxes for Arch Enemy with his musicality and technicality as well as his personality and dedication. Looking forward to having him join us stage, the rehearsals have shown we have a devastating twin axe attack going on!"

Nick Cordle was raised in a musical family in Virginia by parents who teach classical piano and was immersed in 19th century piano music as a child. Rachmaninoff, Brahms, and Liszt are his early memories. There were piano and violin lessons from a very early age but a rebellious streak led to the guitar at the age of 10, and within a few years he discovered the classic thrash metal albums by Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer. This was his first real musical passion and gateway into extreme music. 

Nick studied jazz and music theory at the University of Virginia from 2003 to 2007 but remains self taught in the ways of "shred" and metal. Shortly thereafter, he joined American death metal band ARSIS playing bass and guitar over a three year period performing with them on various European tours and countless gigs across the US, Canada, and Mexico as well as performing and writing on their most recent album Starve For The Devil (2010). 

ARCH ENEMY na IV Edição do Festival Vagos Open Air

Depois de terem protagonizado uma atuação arrebatadora na Incrível Almadense na recta final de 2009 e de, entretanto, terem assinado um dos melhores discos de 2011 com o explosivo «Khaos Legions», os suecos ARCH ENEMY vão estar finalmente de regresso a Portugal para encabeçar a IV Edição do Festival Vagos Open Air. Aos já anunciados OVERKILL, ENSLAVED, ARCTURUS e TEXTURES juntam-se agora também os espanhóis NORTHLAND com o seu death metal de inspiração viking e as TWISTED SISTERS que, nascidas das catacumbas de Lisboa para vos trazer o melhor rock underground, garantem animação pela noite dentro. Mais três adições de qualidade superior à lista de grandes nomes que – nos dias 3 e 4 de Agosto de 2012 – vão passar pela idílica Lagoa de Calvão, em Vagos.

Quinze anos e oito álbuns de estúdio depois da exímia dupla de guitarristas formada pelos irmãos Michael e Christopher Amott ter fundado a banda em Halmstad, os ARCH ENEMY são um dos mais aplaudidos porta-estandartes do death metal melódico e um dos nomes mais respeitados e bem-sucedidos da música de peso na atualidade. A primeira fase da carreira do quinteto serviu para estabelecerem um nome e uma reputação sólida, mas foi só com a entrada da carismática Angela Gossow para o lugar de vocalista, em 2001, que se afirmaram de uma vez por todas como um dos nomes mais importantes da sua geração. Herdeiros diretos do paradigma sonoro estabelecido pelos Carcass em discos como «Necroticism – Descanting The Insalubrious» e «Heartwork», que Michael Amott ajudou a compor e a gravar, o grupo – que fica completo com Sharlee D'Angelo no baixo e Daniel Erlandsson na bateria – entrou de rompante pelo novo milénio com uma força revigorada. Nos dez anos que se passaram entretanto não olharam mais para trás, percorrendo o mundo de lés a lés a tocar perante plateias totalmente rendidas à sua música. Apoiados numa sequência de discos intocáveis, conquistaram o seu lugar de destaque no panteão da música extrema graças a uma equilibrada mistura de virtuosismo técnico, brutalidade, melodia e energia inadulterada, que se traduz em atuações demolidoras.

2011 tem sido um ano em grande para os espanhóis NORTHLAND que, graças à sua estreia homónima, iniciaram uma cruzada de conquista ao velho continente que os viu partilhar palcos com bandas tão famosas como os Immortal, Primordial, Ensiferum e Týr. As raízes do colectivo de Barcelona remontam a 2004, mas – devido a alguma instabilidade na formação – só alguns anos depois é que se sentiram finalmente prontos para mostrar a sua música ao mundo, atuando em alguns festivais na Catalunha e protagonizando espetáculos bastante animados. No final de 2009 assinam contracto com a independente germânica Black Bards Entertainment para a edição de «Northland», um registo de viking metal que funde a rapidez do thrash/death metal melódico, orquestrações de teclado majestosas e melodias de violino que não soariam deslocadas num disco de música folk. O grupo formado por Pau Murillo, Alex Fernandéz, Vic Adiego, Pau Vásquez, Pol Lemaire e Daniel Mateu está agora a ultimar o segundo registo de longa-duração, que tem data de edição agendada para o final do ano e promete dar continuidade ao crescimento de uma das mais recentes revelações no cenário de peso de nuestros hermanos.

A partir do dia 1 de Dezembro será colocada à venda uma edição especial de passes, com o valor de 50,00 euros, que inclui oferta de t-shirt oficial do festival. Esta edição especial só estará à venda até 31 de Dezembro.

Arch Enemy

On September 28th, 2009 ARCH ENEMY will release their new studio album “The Root Of All Evil” in Europe. It contains a selection of completely re-recorded tracks from the band’s first three albums “Black Earth” (1996), “Stigmata” (1998) and “Burning Bridges” (1999) reenergized and unified by the band’s ultimate line-up!

Originally recorded with ever changing band members (i.e. former vocalist Johan Liiva, drummer Peter Wildoer, bass player Martin Bengtsson), “The Root Of All Evil” presents classic tracks as “Beast Of Man”, “The Immortal”, “Transmigration Macabre” or “Bridge Of Destiny” with the insane vocals of Angela Gossow, several completely new bass lines by Sharlee D’Angelo, the ever-present guitar wizardry of the Amott brothers as well as Daniel Erlandsson’s merciless punch. The entire project was approached with the idea of having the possibility to re-add these songs to the bands live set and follow up the release with some special touring activity.

The album was recorded at a few different locations in Sweden and produced by ARCH ENEMY with Daniel Erlandsson and Rickard Bengtsson handling the engineering. Finally, this special release was mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap. In the light of ARCH ENEMY finding their defining line-up and a bigger worldwide recognition with 2002’s “Wages Of Sin” album, it has been a logical decision to update the earlier compositions and present them in the splendour of a 2009 shape.

The band chose to have the “The Root Of All Evil” artwork/layout created by Brazilian artist Gustavo Sazes.

More details on “The Root Of All Evil” will be announced in the coming weeks!
