Forged in 1996 by Swedish guitar hero Michael Amott, Arch Enemy have spent three decades carving out a singular legacy at the intersection of extremity and melody. Arch Enemy quickly evolved into one of the defining forces of modern extreme metal with their razor-edged riffing, twin-guitar leads and anthemic songwriting that has carried the band from underground acclaim to global festival dominance. Across a formidable catalogue of eleven studio albums — from the cult-classic Black Earth (1996) to genre milestones like Wages of Sin (2001) and the arena-conquering works of the 2000s — Arch Enemy have continuously reshaped their sound without compromising its core intensity. A defining aspect of their evolution has been the succession of charismatic frontwomen: Angela Gossow’s revolutionary arrival in 2001 helped break gender barriers in extreme metal, while her successor Alissa White-Gluz fronted the band through a highly successful era, delivering critically acclaimed releases such as War Eternal (2014), Will to Power (2017), Deceivers (2022), and 2025’s Blood Dynasty. Relentless touring and an unwavering commitment to technical precision have cemented Arch Enemy as one of metal’s most enduring live acts, a band whose identity has remained anchored by Amott’s vision even as lineups shifted around him. Now, in 2026, Arch Enemy enter a bold new chapter: The band have unveiled former Once Human vocalist Lauren Hart as their new frontwoman, ushering in a revitalized era. Their latest single, “To The Last Breath,” serves as both a statement of intent and rebirth while retaining the band’s trademark ferocity by introducing a fresh vocal dynamic. With a renewed lineup, big European summer festival appearances and a lengthy North American tour announced for the fall, Arch Enemy stand poised once again to redefine their own legacy — louder, sharper, and more unyielding than ever.
The Black Dahlia Murder continues to tour in support of their critically adored tenth studio album, Servitude, released in 2024 via Metal Blade Records. “At a brisk thirty-three minutes, there’s no real fat, just a collection of raging riffs and solid gold grooves that never overstays its welcome…,” lauded Blabbermouth. “Whether wallowing in grim, doomy waters on ‘Mammoth’s Hand,’ or blasting away like some crazed, nihilistic army of intergalactic ghouls on ‘Transcosmic Blueprint’ and climactic hook avalanche ‘Utopia Black,’ this is an album that nobly delivers the goods, while screaming defiance at the stars. Everybody involved should be immensely proud.” Metal Injection accurately hailed a record of, “fucking killer death metal,” Distorted Sound crowned THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, “one of melodeath’s greatest, most consistent bands,” while Kerrang wrote, “…the release of Servitude faces down existential concerns with determination and defiance.” Added Last Rites, “Servitude doesn’t feel like a debut because it’s unpolished or full of missteps; it feels like a debut because it’s brimming with a fresh energy and feels like it’s only hinting at what could be in store.” Preview/purchase Servitudehere.
