Arch Enemy had a pretty busy year in 2011 with the release of Khaos Legions and a world tour, things got busy for the band. But, according to vocalist Angela Gossow, 2012 will see a much lighter schedule for the band: "We play a lot of shows and my workload as the manager and vocalist ...
FEATURING MEMBERS OF ARCH ENEMY, THAT METAL SHOW, BLACK ANVIL, ABIGAIL WILLIAMS, AND LEPROUS Every year year, MetalSucks invites musicians from across the vast spectrum of the metalsphere (or, in a few cases, the almost-metalsphere) what their favorite albums of the year were.

Ik heb niet echt iets met Halloween, dat ik -behalve een puur Amerikaans feest- vooral een uitvinding van de middenstand vind om de periode tussen "terug naar school" en de Sint te overbruggen. Ook platenlabels pikken graag een graantje mee door het uitbrengen van gelegenheidscompilaties. Soms zit daar wel iets aardigs tussen. Zo bracht Halloween hootenanny , de verzamelaar die Geffen Records in 1998 uitbracht, het leuke Halloween (She gets so mean) dat Rob Zombie zong met [...]

Whimsical pop-rock combo Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies love lush orchestrations. Dig the string section on today's Philly Local Phile, "July," the lead single from their forthcoming release The Flood . If the Flickr photostream on the band's website is anything to go by, the new EP will also feature clarinet and horns in the mix, along with snappy, Fountains of Wayne-style choral singalongs. We've come to expect this artful approach to songwriting from Mr. Goldberg & Co. What perhaps is unexpected is that music isn't the only art he's into. Goldberg volunteers at Philadelphia [...]
Nope. Not if their new song, "Reduced to the Power of Prayer," is any indication. 'Cause that shit is positively Satanic. In fact, it's hard to listen to it and not picture cities tumbling, populations ravaged by plague and forced to watch Kevin James movies, fire, brimstone, torment, and complete fucking misery - y'know, all [...]

Before "Khaos Legions" was released, you guys took a break from the studio for nearly 4 years, why the long pause from recording and what finally pushed you guys to decide that it was time to record a new record? Michael Amott – Yes, in theory we had four years towrite "Khaos Legions"… We released the RISE OF THE TYRANT album in September 2007 and started touring a lot immediately all over the world for about 18 months. We recorded and mixed a live double album + DVD in 2008 ("Tyrants Of The Rising Sun – [...]

Skeletonwitch have released the first in a series of webisodes chronicling the making of their new album, Forever Abomination. And I know there's a real glut of in-studio webisodes being released in this day and age of flip cams and iMovie, but you should seriously check this one out, 'cause a) Skeletonwitch rules, b) you [...]
