Angela will be doing a vocal workshop at the Heavy Metal & Gender Congress / Cologne University of Music & Dance 8th October 2009.

She will also be part of the panel discussion on ‘Women In Metal’ together with Doro Pesch, Sabina Classen and Britta Goertz later the same day. For more info read the press release and check out the flyer:

Heavy Metal and Gender – International Congress – 8 to 10 October 2009
Cologne University of Music and Dance
Organizer: Dr. Florian Heesch (History | Herstory) in collaboration with Prof. Michael Rappe

Heavy metal is music of men and women. But even though it generally attracts as many female as male fans today, heavy metal often emphasizes sexual differences.
The congress will discuss gender roles, differences and stereotypes in heavy metal culture from an interdisciplinary and international perspective involving scholars as well as musicians and fans. It brings into account the broad variety of heavy metal as it has developed over the last 40 years and its global dissemination manifested in a high amount of subgenres.

It will be the first scholarly conference on heavy metal in Germany and the first metal conference world-wide, which focuses on issues of gender.

The programme includes a panel discussion on “Women in Metal” with Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy), Doro Pesch (Doro), Sabina Classen (Holy Moses), Britta Görtz (Cripper).

Practical aspects are highly fundamental to the congress, including

- A vocal workshop “Extreme, Aggressive, Female” with Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy)

- “Kammer-Metall”: ensemble cras plays metal related chamber music

- A concert “Female Aggression” with Doro, Holy Moses, and Cripper at Live Music Hall, Cologne, 10 October 2009

Furthermore, the programme includes keynote lectures by internationally renowned scholars Deena Weinstein (Chicago) and Robert Walser (Los Angeles), and 24 papers by scholars from – amongst others – Brazil, Canada, UK, Germany, Finland, Poland, Indonsia, and Australia, on issues as
- “Ozzy Osbourne as a Male Role Model”
- “Metal and the Male Monster”
- “Heavy Metal as Racial Cocoon”
- “Public Perceptions of Masculinity and Femininity in Turkish Metal”
- “Leather Sisterhood: Metal, Masculinity, and Lesbian Fandom”

For full programme and booking please visit the website www.metalandgender.de

ARCH ENEMY vocalist Angela Gossow checks in to comment about the band’s recent touring activities as well as the European run coming up in December:

“We had a great time playing the European summer festivals and then going to Mexico for three sold out, insanely raging shows! We are currently preparing for our Moscow gig, Belgium’s Mass Deathtruction festival, Japan’s Loudpark, all Asia dates, Australia, New Zealand and then Europe! Yes, the Tyrant will return to its Root Of Evil once again. Raising hell in the month of Christmas kitsch – loving it!
We will bring some young talent with us – Abigail Williams and Triosphere (make sure not to miss them!) and also one of the true German Thrash Metal legends we have been worshipping when we were ‘young talents’ ourselves: DESTRUCTION! Holy shhhhhh…
I remember staring at their bullet-belt covered outfits and listening to ‘Mad Butcher’ and then actually having to go back (!) into their discography and picking up ‘Sentence Of Death’, ‘Infernal Overkill’ and ‘Eternal Devastation’. This seems like…yesterday! And today we are bringing them out as special guest for some selected dates and hopefully for even more shows in the near future!
You can not miss this package if you are METAL TO THE LAST F…ING BONE – this package certainly is! See all you raging thrashers in December!!!”

DESTRUCTION’s vocalist and bassist Schmier comments on the upcoming dates:

“From all the post-modern Death Metal acts, ARCH ENEMY are my absolutely fave (one)! When the offer came in to do some shows together, I was fuckin’ thrilled & honoured at the same time! What a killer package for the fans! We are really enthusiastic to share the stage & kick some ass together!”

“The Root Of All Evil” presents classic ARCH ENEMY tracks (once originally recorded with ever changing band members, i.e. former vocalist Johan Liiva, drummer Peter Wildoer, bass player Martin Bengtsson), now 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 album was recorded by Daniel Erlandsson and Rickard Bengtsson, whereas mixing and mastering duties were handled by Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Testament, Exodus).

To check out a first track of this stunning release, head over to the freshly redesigned MySpace page of ARCH ENEMY (http://www.myspace.com/archenemy) and enjoy “Beast Of Man”!
