On July 29th, extreme metal masters ARCH ENEMY will unleash their 11th studio album, ‘Deceivers‘, via Century Media Records. For fans that can’t wait for the record’s release, the band is now offering a new 7″, ‘Sunset Over The Empire‘ (due out May 20th) – with the title track also appearing on ‘Deceivers‘. 

ARCH ENEMY‘s founder and chief songwriter Michael Amott comments:

“I am thrilled that we are releasing our next single ‘Sunset over the Empire’ not only digitally everywhere as usual, but also as a physical 7″ vinyl record. I’m a big fan of the vinyl format myself and I think this killer looking 7″ will be a nice collector’s item as it’s a limited run. The B- side is an instrumental we’ve never released before on a record, and the A-side is one of my fave tracks off our new upcoming album ‘Deceivers’!”

Pre-order ‘Sunset Over The Empire‘ now at: https://archenemy.lnk.to/Deceivers – where the 7″ is available in the following versions:
–white vinyl (limited to 1000 copies; available via CM Distro Europe)
–transparent orange vinyl (limited to 500 copies; band exclusive)

A collection of 11 tracks that are ruthlessly catchy and mercilessly violent, ‘Deceivers‘ stands toe- to-toe with the highlights of the band’s storied catalogue. Roaring to life with “Handshake With Hell”, ARCH ENEMY make it clear they are out for blood, and every track is a hit, from the moody “Poisoned Arrow” to the titanically anthemic “One Last Time“. Sounding more energized than ever, the quintet is operating at the highest level, delivering a maelstrom of diamond-hard riffing wrapped around cinematic melodies, thunderous drumming and towering vocals. ARCH ENEMY has proved, yet again, that they are unstoppable.
