Black Earth - Original Arch Enemy Lineup Reunites For Shows

This could be interesting for Arch Enemy fans. The original line-up of the band will reunite and perform Arch Enemy's first three albums material live on stage as Black Earth. An extensive tour of Japan in May was announced today! Last year, Arch Enemy performed at Loudpark in Japan and during that show the group was joined on stage by the rest of the original founding members, singer Johan Liiva and guitarist Christopher Amott. The original lineup made the band's classic first three albums: Black Earth, Stigmata and Burning Bridges; the exception being bassist Sharlee D'Angelo who only joined in 1999 but has been in the band ever since.

Confirmed dates so far:

5/17 - Tokyo, Japan - Shibuya Club Quattro
5/19 - Fukuoka, Japan - Drum Be-1
5/21 - Hiroshima, Japan - Hiroshima Club Quattro
5/23 - Osaka, Japan - Umeda Club Quattro
5/24 - Aichi, Japan - Nagoya Club Quattro
5/27 - Sapporo, Japan - Lane24 Penny Sapporo

Hopefully, they will take Black Earth to other parts of the world as well.

Black Earth lineup:

Michael Amott - guitar

Christopher Amott - guitar

Johan Liiva - vocals

Daniel Erlandsson - drums

Sharlee D'Angelo - bass

Time for Michael Amott to make himself somewhat more relevant again. But in all seriousness this reminds me when The Dio era Sabbath members reunited as Heaven & Hell. Curious to if this will lead to some new material. The pre-Gossow era definitely had a ruffer, less hooky, heavier sound. Loading...
