Arch Enemy - New Song And Lyric Video Released


After revealing Alissa White-Gluz as the band's new singer and unveiling the new song "War Eternal", melodic death metallers Arch Enemy have released today another new song and lyric video from the upcoming album War Eternal. This song is called "As The Pages Burn" and you can give it a listen down here. Another new track and a new opportunity to hear new material. Why complain? Enjoy it and give us your impressions.

The anticipated release of War Eternal is set for June 9th in Europe and June 10th in North America on Century Media Records.




Guitarist Michael Amott comments: "'As The Pages Burn' almost goes back to the style of writing that I had in the late 90's. It's very old school Arch Enemy with an almost Slayer-vibe in the intro/verse and a huge melodic chorus. A bit like 'The Immortal' and other AE classics of that time. The middle section is very classical music inspired - a twin guitar part that is a lot fun to play. Alissa wrote the lyrics for the song. This song is an example of what I love about collaborating - in the songwriting, I'm giving her the instrumental, and she comes from a different background, and the two different approaches merge together to form a very interesting result that blew my mind. It's one of my favorite tracks on the album."

Front-woman Alissa White-Gluz adds: "'As The Pages Burn' is also one of my favorite songs. I think it's going to be a very fun song to perform live. I really like fast-paced, energetic songs. A lot of the lyrics on the album are coming straight from my brain during sleepless nights. I often wake up in the middle of the night from horrible nightmares and just start writing songs. For whatever reason, I like the lyrics that I get that way, they feel real and uncensored. This song is one that I wrote at 4am in the dark, half asleep. In the morning I woke up and thought, 'This is cool, I'm going to use this, and I know just the music to put it to'. The musical dynamics in the song are very satisfying to sing to as well. I hope you like it!"

Haha, that's like saying "compose your own Metal album and upload it here, instead of writing a review of an album". :lol:

This song sounds more inspiring than the entire Khaos Legion album. I'm expecting big things from these guys in this formula.

I dunno, maybe it's just me who has changed, but...Arch Enemy used to be one of my favorites, even when they released Rise of the Tyrant. I find this song just okay.

Still optimistic about the new album. What I like the most about this song is the guitar work. Still getting used to Alissa being in the band.

Melodious
Musically, this song is actually very good, but the vocals are not powerful enough to carry the song to where it needs to be. Alissa's vocals are too thin, and whiny, and lack the ferocity and authority that Angela had at her best. If this song had the vocals of Angela at her best, or the voice of Johan Liiva, it would be great. As it is, the song falls flat, despite some nice melodies, and a scathing main riff. Alissa's abilities as a death metal vocalist are extremely limited, and her delivery lacks any real venom, or punch. Disappointing, to be sure.

This album will be a great come back to Arch Enemy. I liked Khaos Legions but this album will be better!

Another mediocre song from AE... Also vox on the chorus are absolutely terrible but at least Alissa's lyrics are pretty damn good.

Not bad, good riffing at least. I think they released their best albums years ago but this one sounds promising.

Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Angela's anarchistic world-view writing made the aggressive feelings in Arch Enemy genuine, this new singer however, does not feel genuine - it just feels aggressive.

I'm sure many will like that though, but not me.

Fortunately, the chorus saves the situation.
