Swedish melodic death metal merchants Arch Enemy have announced a brand new album in the form of ‘Blood Dynasty’, which is set for release on March 28th via Century Media Records. It is the 12th full-length release from Michael Amott’s post-Carcass killing crew, and it comes after the surprise drop of new single ‘Dream Stealer’, which finds Alissa White-Gluz and co. amping up the tension and injecting more melody than ever into their fast, throat-slitting savagery.
Arch Enemy founder and guitarist Michael Amott confides, “This new album pushes the boundaries of what we’ve done before – it’s everything you’ve come to expect from this band, and then some! We can’t wait for you to hear it and feel the energy we’ve poured into every track. Welcome to the Blood Dynasty!”
If you hit up any of their dates on the Rising From The North Tour with fellow Swedish melo-death pioneers In Flames and Soilwork, you’ll have heard a couple of new tracks live, and they slot in perfectly with their signature classics.
