Arch Enemy guitarist / founder Michael Amott revealed that Black Earth, a new project featuring past and current members of Arch Enemy (Johan Liiva, Michael Amott, Christopher Amott, Daniel Erlandsson, and Sharlee D'Angelo), has recorded two new songs for the upcoming collection of remastered tracks from Arch Enemy's early albums.

Michael Amott states: "It's quite complicated getting everybody together to do that, but we wrote these two new songs. I wrote one with Chris (Amott), and then I wrote one myself. They're called "Burn On The Flame" and "Life Infernal"... two brand new tracks that are kind of in the style of what we used to do, I think. And they turned out really amazing too. We actually went back to Fredrik Nordström's studio, Fredman, where we made the first three records, so we worked with the original producer, and he mixed it. It sounds really powerful. Very cool."
