On September 28th, 2009 Swedish Metal masters 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 upgraded by the band’s definitive line-up!

Now, the details for the album’s Limited Edition CD can be revealed: Apart from a very special Mediabook packaging it features three additional live bonus tracks, alternate artwork, an extended booklet and an exclusive patch as additional gimmick!

Here is the exact track-listing of the limited edition Mediabook CD version:

2. Beast Of Man
3. The Immortal
4. Diva Satanica

“The Root Of All Evil” will also be available as regular CD, Digital Download as well as in LP format (with the full album on CD as bonus).

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 ARCH ENEMY tracks 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).

Yeah.. sorry, I am a bit behind with my tour recaps, haha

Bloodstock and Mexico Tour recap will follow soon!

What we were supposed to play the other weekend was:

23-July-2009 @
Hunter Festival (Poland)


24-July-2009 @
Zwarte Cross Festival (The Netherlands)


25-July-2009 @ Lorca
Rock Festival (Spain)

Unfortunately theHunter Festival promoter – Mr Arek Michalski – never paid us the advance and left us high and dry with a couple of grand loss for the flights we had already paid for.

We didnt go there as we were pretty sure – after all his lies and fake bank statements – that we most certainly would be stuck in a bad situation there.. Epica and Tiamat pulled out for the same reason.

In retrospective we had to find out he did it to other bands too.. year after year… why is this guy
still around and doing festivals???

Check out Opeths story, very similar to ours:Opeth cancel Hunter Fest

Not a nice thing to do to the bands and the fans!!! You should be ashamed of yourself, Arek boy!

———-

Zwarte Cross – that was cold! A bit weird this festival, featuring all kinds of music and fans. Not a full on metal festival for sure. I saw a lot of people with big eyes and jaws dropping when we entered the stage. They were obviously new to Arch Enemy,haha.

Check out some fun footage:

It rained so badly that the van actually got stuck in deep mud. For a looooong while! Thus we had to suffer a short night and an early morning flight yet again. Love the early birds – not! And I had my first cold this summer – but that was a bad one with a nice, thick mucus cough.. Thought for a second about canceling Lorca Rock,Spain, but then pictured disappointed fans, angry press and severe financial loss and pulled myself together – armored with a box of Kleenex and the will to kill.

Lorca – just beautiful. Love the Spanish spirit. Joyful. So nice and warm. Caught an hour of sleep before the show, then we did our co-headline gig with Carcass.Bloody good show! Lots of interaction with the crowd, chanting, mosh pits and big smiles going on!

Its good to know Spain loves Arch Enemy – AS WE ARE GOING BACK TO SPAIN FOR AT LEAST 5 DATES IN DECEMBER THIS YEAR!So keep your eyes peeled, my beloved bandidos locos!
