Swedish deathmetallers Arch Enemy will enter the studio in February to start the recording of their follow up to "Wages Of Sin" from 2001.
This is taken from the official Arch Emeny website:
"We start recording the new album in a couple of weeks!!! We are writing crazy music! We are excited! Andy “downstrokes” Sneap is onboard! This is basically what’s happening…
Andy Sneap is coming over to Sweden on the 4th of February (hope he doesn’t mind our messy rehearsal room!) for the pre-production - this process involves a final analysis of the material and various preparations for the recording session – basically eliminating any weak points! We are rehearsing like mad now...getting ready for Andy’s arrival (we are getting very self critical at this point, ha-ha!). We’re also doing a week of dates here in Sweden and Norway before he arrives! On the 10th of February we fly to the UK and start recording drums…then it’s guitars, bass and vocals + extra shit. We’ll be spending 1 month in Andy’s “Backstage” studio facilities.
We are confident that Andy Sneap is the man to capture the whole vibe we've got going on right now...it’s fresh and insanely heavy - it feels so good being in this band right now!
What can I tell you about the new songs? Lots of HEAVY riffs and COOL parts, the melodies and hooks are the strongest we’ve come up with so far in our career I believe. Lyrically it’s heavier too…raw and real. And yes, there's some ultra-sick guitar shit going on too...otherwise it wouldn't be Arch Enemy, right? For us, It’s a matter of picking up were we left off with “Wages Of Sin” and just pushing ourselves to be 100% better!!! (Not that easy, we raised the bar pretty damn high on the WOS album!).
Keep an eye out for lots of studio reports, pics and demented ramblings from various band members with various degrees of cabin fever…we are about to embark on a new mission…
Michael Amott"
