Before the Swedish Metal powerhouse went to Asia and Australia to present the latest album ”Khaos Legions” on their ongoing world tour, they found time to finish the 3rd video for ”Under Black Flags We March”. The video was once again produced by the Swedish director Patric Ullaeus (In Flames, Dimmu Borgir, etc.) and is the first video to feature the new guitarist Nick Cordle (from the US band Arsis) who replaced Chris Amott earlier this year. 

The video will be exclusivly premiered worldwide through the website of Metal Hammer Germany. Watch the video here: http://www.metal-hammer.de/video-audio/premieren/article290641/arch-enemy-under-black-flags-we-march-video-exklusiv.html

Michael Amott (guitar) comments on the video: ”It was a pleasure as always to work with our friend Patric Ullaeus on this video, which will be the fourth clip he's made for us and he really is a consummate professional – truly excellent stuff! He's captured a very suitable and cool vibe on this one too. The track itself, ’Under Black Flags We March’, is a song that we've played at every Arch Enemy show since we released the "Khaos Legions" album last year, we love playing it as it's a change of pace in our frantic live set and it's going down really well with audiences worldwide too. We felt this pounding metal anthem deserved a visual companion, so here it is! A couple of things to listen out for: we had a our new guitarist Nick Cordle throw down a little lick on the song and had audio master Andy Sneap remix the song a little… So, a few minor tweaks here and there to make it something special for this visual/sonic assault! Under Black Flags We March!”

ARCH ENEMY to play two special and intimate shows in Tokyo this week!

Having just completed a highly successful tour of Japan, Arch Enemy learned that what was to be their next performance, the “Ax-Mayhem” festival in Korea, had been canceled by the promoter.

Arch Enemy have opted to stay in Tokyo, Japan for a few more days and have teamed up with their Japanese promoter ”Creative Man” to play two more special shows at the intimate Astro Hall venue in Harajuku, Tokyo.
 

The band will do a meet & greet with all ticket holding audience members who wish to meet the band after the shows and there will be exclusive merchandise only available at these two special shows.
 

These shows will also be unique in a musical sense, as the the setlist will be as voted by the Japanese fans on the bands label (Trooper Entertainment) website!

ARCH ENEMY and Christopher Amott part ways, recruit replacement.

ARCH ENEMY have parted ways with guitarist Christopher Amott in an amicable split. 

 

Christopher Amott was a member of ARCH ENEMY between 1996-2005 and again between 2007-2011.

Following is a joint statement by ARCH ENEMY.

 

”We thank Christopher for the time he’s worked with the band and of course wish him the very best in his future endeavours.

 

Thankfully, there is no drama behind the scenes here. This is the best way forward for all involved. Christopher simply isn’t into playing extreme metal anymore.

 

We have already chosen and rehearsed with a new guitar player and we will complete the ’Khaos Legions’ 2012 touring cycle as planned. We are highly motivated and look forward to continue spreading our music around the world!

 

Finally, our deepest thanks go to the ARCH ENEMY fans, whose amazing support and belief inspires us ever onward.”

 

ARCH ENEMY are pleased to welcome 26 year old American guitarist Nick Cordle on board as they continue their touring activity following the release of their recent ”Khaos Legions” (2011) album. 

 



 

Founding guitarist Michael Amott comments: ”Nick was my first choice as he ticks all the right boxes for Arch Enemy with his musicality and technicality as well as his personality and dedication. Looking forward to having him join us on stage, the rehearsals have shown we have a devastating twin axe attack going on!”

 

Nick Cordle was raised in a musical family in Virginia by parents who teach classical piano and was immersed in 19th century piano music as a child.  Rachmaninoff, Brahms, and Liszt are his early memories.

 

There were piano and violin lessons from a very early age but a rebellious streak led to the guitar at the age of 10, and within a few years he discovered the classic thrash metal albums by Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer. This was his first real musical passion and gateway into extreme music.

 

Nick studied jazz and music theory at the University of Virginia from 2003 to 2007 but remains self taught in the ways of ”shred” and metal. Shortly thereafter, he joined American death metal band ARSIS playing bass and guitar over a three year period performing with them on various European tours and countless gigs across the US, Canada, and Mexico as well as performing and writing on their most recent album ”Starve For The Devil” (2010).
