Arch Enemy / Support: Thoughts of Rejection @ Conrad Sohm

ARCH ENEMY mit neuer Sängerin beim Conrad Sohm Kultursommer Festival!

Die Ereignisse überschlugen sich letzte Woche: Angela Gossow gab ihren Ausstieg bei ARCH ENEMY bekannt, und schon wurde Alissa White-Gluz von THE AGONIST als neue Sängerin vorgestellt. Ein neuer Song wurde auch gleich nachgeschoben: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InRMwptcgAo - ‘War Eternal’

‘War Eternal’ ist der Titelsong des neuen Arch Enemy-Albums, welches im Juni 2014 erscheinen wird. Auf dem neuen Album feiert Alissa White-Gluz ihr Arch Enemy-Debüt. Nach dem neuen Video zum Titelsong sollte aber jede Sorge der Fans um Arch Enemy vergessen sein!!

Statements von Angela Gossow, Alissa White-Gluz und Band-Chef Michael Amott:
Angela Gossow:
“Dear ARCH ENEMY fans, this is not easy to tell you…I have decided to step down from being ARCH ENEMY’s voice of anger. After 13 years of pure fucking metal, 6 studio albums and countless tours through five continents, I feel the need to enter a different phase in my life, be with my family and pursue other interests. I will however remain business manager for ARCH ENEMY, and I will continue to develop my artist management roster.
I am staying true to my heavy metal roots, just leaving the spotlight so to speak. I am passing the torch to the super talented Alissa White-Gluz, whom I’ve known as a dear friend and a superb vocalist for many years. I always thought she deserved a chance to shine – and now she’s getting it. Just like I got that chance back in 2001.
I want to thank all ARCH ENEMY fans, our labels Century Media (worldwide) and Trooper Entertainment (Japan), our dedicated road crew, and in particular Michael, Daniel and Sharlee for their love and support throughout all these years. It’s been one hell of a ride! We conquered every situation, made it through thick & thin together in the most exciting and rewarding time of my life. Thank you all for being there with me on stage, in front of the stage, and backstage. You have touched my heart, and I hope I was able to give something back to you. I am grateful for the wonderful memories - I will cherish them forever!

Alissa White-Gluz:
"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 favorite 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!"

Michael Amott:
“We are eternally grateful to Angela for all her passion, hard work and talent. Her legacy is tremendous and will always be a big part of the band’s history. We feel great pride in what has been achieved in the past, but also look forward to new battles and new victories. We welcome Alissa with open arms - and we hope you will have open ears. We might have just created our most wicked metal opus yet with our upcoming album ‘War Eternal’!”
