Sounds awesome. Closest to Angela Gossow's era Arch Enemy have been in years.

These guys haven't put out a decent album in more than twenty years. They may change singers but their music still suck.

Half of the messages about the looks of the singer instead of her singing. Well done guys, you put a bit of shame on the community.

What I found especially amazing from Arch Enemy here is their communication around the new singer. They did such an amazing job keeping everyone wondering if it was going to be Angela. Then the past few days of black out on social media deleting all their old posts, only to then release a new video without saying who's singing. All a marketing masterclass. They kept me on the look even though I never really was into the band.

To be fair, this probably would happen in any given community dominated by men. Boys will be boys.

I've loved her in Once Human and think she'll fit in great. She sounds closer to Angela, so that's pretty sick. Can't wait to hear the whole album.

As much as it saddens me, I completely agree with your words. I really liked Lauren Hart in Once Human. It's a shame she's going to waste her talent on a project that has become so repetitive and has so little to offer.

But she will earn much more money. After all, that's all that matters in the music business.

Thats the point, because she looks good and are younger as Angela and Alissa , seems that was point
Otherwise, non logic move, I never even thought such move, I thought more known name and so on

I don't know what some of the commentators above me are on about. She sounds great and the music is great. Lyrics can be a little bit more inspiring, but does anyone actually listen to Arch Enemy to be inspired by the lyrics, anyway?
