Oh yeah,

South East Asia is an adventure. For example: Finding food for Vegetarians who do not like fish-based sauces. Whale meat anybody?? And they love to label their foods with funny words. Engrish from hell. Here are our impressions from Kowloon, Beijing, Seoul and Jakarta:

21-October-2009 @ Hitec Auditorium -
Kowloon (Hong Kong)

Bleak and grey from the outside: Kowloon. Concrete jungle.

But – we managed to make it all cozy inside the venue. Rainbow colors over heavy shredding.

Beautiful!

Diva Satanica
with Michael’s improv solo!

23-October-2009 @ The Star Live House – Beijing
(China)

For some reason I cant find any live pictures from our show in Bejing.. and no footage either. I swear, we did play.. but most of the time we spent on looking for food.. or rather, at the food labels. Fun stuff! (Latest note: check our gallery for live photos!)

Whale meat. Poor buggers!!!

Ho’s on toast. Delicious. Havent tried it yet?

Our FOH Clem likes his Mother’s Finger with eh.. chocolate.

Note: the ‘School Zone’ sticker at bottom left. WTF?

Backline wizzard Eddie enjoys Pupu ice cream. It is brown, of course. David already had a bite.. not good.

25-October-2009 @ SEOUL AX – Seoul
(Republic Of Korea)

We are filming this show tonight.. For a future DVD So naturally we are blessed with high quality gear today.. We are excited!

Eddie loves the Marshall stack. Who wouldnt? Some classic shizznizz.

Our monitor/drum tech David finally gets a
NICE desk to work with:

And here we go: Taking Back My Seoul

….

….

Great show, great crowd, great sound – Will be exciting to sift through that material some time next year

28-October-2009
@ Senayan Tennis Indoor Stadium- Jakarta (Indonesia)

First time in Jakarta. We drive by slums. Extreme poverty. We keep on driving for an hour.. The hotel is facing the Ritz Carlton, which suffered a terrorist bomb attack back in July. Food for thought.. I dream of bomb attacks of course.

Next day: Show day. A 5 min drive takes us over an hour. Traffic is baaaaaaad in Jakarta. We walk straight into a press conference, then on stage.

Jakarta is checking us out. Less crazy action in the crowd, more undivided attention. Its cool to play in new places.

South East Asia is def a new territory for most metal bands. Its a roller coaster ride, full of good and bad surprises. We had an excellent run and we will add some more exotic countries next time we come around. For now, we are all looking forward to Australia.. We got some favorite restaurants and bars there. It will be our 4th time we tour this continent.. And Kiwi-land for the first time!

Long flight ahead via Singapore to Brisbane tomorrow! Crawling into bed. Beaten, but happy!

20-October-2009 @
World Trade Center - Manila  (Philippines)

 

Great,

the typhoon has parked his violent core far off the coast above the ocean.. 

Which means our flights are on and nobody is in danger coming to the show. Our first gig in Manila is going to happen! 

And it comes with a giant bat and pyros (probably no license, haha..) Our promoters from Pulp magazine are taking very good care of us. Nice hotel, way too much food and lot of excitement about the show tomorrow. We are the first European metal band to stir up some live madness over here. Damn. Its about time!

Michael and Daniel doing a signing for Dean Guitars / Pearl Drums before the show. Next day will be a very early flight and a show in Hong Kong. So I sleep most of the day.. Kinda refilling my batteries for the next 36 hours of sleep depravity to come.

I am totally awake and ready to do this show. I wanna see the giant bat in action.. It blows a lot of smoke during ‘My Apocalypse’.. Funny shit!

The giant bat, spitting smoke:

 

We Will Rise – Fire!

The Grande Finale – Nemesis!

 

Manila knows how to thrash!

 

Stage action!

 

 

Signing session Dean Guitar & Pearl
Drums

 

 

Michael and his pale twin-brother from the
twilight zone!

 

Arch Enemy has 2 bass players from now on – sludge doom core!

No typhoons, just palm trees and pools.. I was just waiting for the pretty scenery to turn to absolute horror.. movie style.

 ….

Yeah.. lots of great memories!! We will be back.. But first we have to survive Hong Kong, Beijing, Seoul and Jakarta

18-October-2009 @
Liberty Square – Taipei (Taiwan)

You don’t wanna know how it feels to get up at 4.30 am in Tokyo, board a plane at 8am and then play a show at 8pm in another country – Taiwan. It really screws with your head and makes you feel like day dreaming and moon walking. 

I can’t remember much from the day. Land at noon in Taipei, get in a van. Drive to the hotel. Smells different here. Fish. Weird plants. Car exhaust. Check into room. Shower. Drop into bed, sleep 2 hours. Alarm rings. Get up again, shower again. Very tired. Drive to venue, warm up voice. Get up on stage. Different setlist tonight! 

BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS

RAVENOUS

TAKING BACK MY SOUL

THE IMMORTAL

DEAD EYES SEE NO FUTURE

MY APOCALYPSE

DIVA SATANICA

REVOLUTION BEGINS   

DRUM SOLO

I WILL LIVE AGAIN

BURY ME AN ANGEL 

PILGRIM

CHRIS GUITAR SOLO

MICHAEL GUITAR SOLO

DEAD BURY THEIR DEAD

WE WILL RISE

SNOWBOUND

NEMESIS 

FIELDS OF DESOLATION OUTRO

 

Yeah.. I actually recognize some faces in the crowd. It is our 2nd time here in Taipei. They finally wake me up with their enthusiasm. Very cool show. I feel good and alive again by the time we rip into Ravenous, haha. Hails and horns!

Great footage on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6CvXrHyCwo

Music got some serious power. I like it. Angela is back! Taipei rocks, we rock. Fun show. Chris is the man!

Great crowd!

 

Afterwards, we have a meet’n'greet with a 100 fans. Thats a lot of people to say ‘hello’ to.. Sorry, if i dont remember your name next time. My brain feels like a raspberry muffin. Sweet and dewy. Haha.

 

mmmmmmmm.. muffin.

After signing different body parts and taking lots of pictures we say ‘bye-bye’ to everybody and follow the call of the pillow: ‘Lay your heavy head down here’. Oh yes. totally. Tomorrow we are flying out to Manila. If the typhoon has mercy and doesnt move any closer. 

I am dreaming of storms and plane crashes. Great. 

All about crazy Manila in the next report (of course we went there. We ain’t pussies).

This was – hands down – the toughest tour we have done so far. So many flights, countries, new places, old friends and very early wake up calls.. I didn’t think it would go so smoothly and we would actually make our 42 hour flight from New Zealand via San Francisco and Frankfurt back home to Copenhagen airport. But we did! And here I am, trying to remember the crazy ride we have been on for a whole month!

17-October-2009@ Loud Park ‘09 Makuhari Messe 9-11 – Tokyo (Japan)

Our 3rd time we are playing this massive festival! Sharing the stage with Judas Priest and Megadeth this time around makes it even better! We go on right before Megadeth – with a very different setlist than usual:

BURY ME AN ANGEL
REVOLUTION BEGINS
THE IMMORTAL
RAVENOUS
BEAST OF MAN
PILGRIM
THE LAST ENEMY
I WILL LIVE AGAIN
DEMONIC SCIENCE
BRIDGE OF DESTINY
NEMESIS
+ BRIDGE OUTRO

We actually played ‘Demonic Science’ for the very first time live and only at Loudpark, hehe. And for the record: Megadeth killed!

Nice to meet Shawn Drover from Megadeth, lots of cool fans at the meet’n’greet,Tetsu and Aya from our label Trooper Entertainment, the lovely Creative Man crew, our friends.. Japan is our 2nd home. Has been for a while. If I could just afford an apartment in Tokyo, haha.. Well, we will just keep coming back ‘til the end of our days! A million thanx to our fans for the raging show!

Check out this cool live clip I found:

And of course, tons of pictures:

Arch Enemy ‘hit the lights’:

This is a beautiful guitar – The Tyrant!

Chris rocking the crowd!

The setlist in action!

Angela shouting at people, as usual..

The mighty D!

Angela on fire.

And here she is being nice for about 3 seconds. Then the next song starts, hehe.

Love this drummer and his drum kit!

Oh yeah. Drums and guitars. Sexy.

Tetsu from Trooper Entertainment rocks!

The D’s 666bpm drumkit!

Tokyo by sunrise! Very early wake up call at 4.30am to catch our flight at 8am. Tough shit.

Fuji mountain – This is Japan – from the view out of the plane. Bye, bye our love.

The b-day guestbook is absolutely lovely and much fun to read! I had a killer b-day bash at the Melbourne show.. live on stage, haha.. I am not sentimental about my own b-day to be honest.. and I never tell anybody in the band or crew about it.. But the fans always rrrrrrremember anyway. And its always a nice surprise and does warm my cold heavy metal heart .. i have to admit it

Melbourne is singing happy b-day for me – experimental jazz chaos fusion style, haha.. Loved it!

YOUTUBE CLIP: Melbourne singing Happy B-Day

Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot

Since I got some requests regarding Angela’s accounts on MySpace, Twitter and Facebook – here’s some info:

Angela has ONE OFFICIAL MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/AngelaGossow and ONE OFFICIAL Twitter page: http://twitter.com/agossow

She also has a Facebook account, but she doesn’t use it (the ones above are enough to gather news, really)..

Arch Enemy’s OFFICIAL accounts are:

http://www.myspace.com/archenemy

http://twitter.com/archenemymetal

So all the other sites you may discover are FAKE! I had some time off and searched for some fake sites (fake Michael Amott sites included) like:
