IN FLAMES‘latest album, “Foregone”was released in February via Nuclear Blast. According to a press release, the LP “combines the greatest aggressive, metallic, and melodic strengths of their landmark records with the seasoned songwriting of their postmodern era.”
“Foregone” was the second IN FLAMES album with Paul and drummer Tanner Waynethe first with ex-MEGADETH guitarist Chris Broderickand the third with Grammy-winning producer Howard Benson (MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, THREE DAYS GRACE). Mike Plotnikoff (ALL THAT REMAINS, WARBRINGER) engineered at Benson‘s West Valley Recording Studios. Joe Rickard (10 YEARS, STARSET, DIAMOND),who played drums for IN FLAMES from 2016 through 2019, handled mixing duties.
ARCH ENEMY released its latest record, “Deceivers”last year to critical acclaim.
ARCH ENEMY played its first post-pandemic show at the opening date of “The North American Siege 2022” tour with BEHEMOTH and NAPALM DEATH on April 16, 2022 at The Marquee in Tempe, Arizona.
Amott previously stated about “Deceivers”: “Having just celebrated our 25th anniversary as a group and now releasing our 11th studio album, one could easily assume that we would be cruising along and going through the motions at this point. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth when it you eat ARCH ENEMY and our new album, ‘Deceivers’.
“It is, without a doubt, always a challenge to raise the bar each time in both the songwriting and production side of things, and it can feel a bit daunting before we get into it. But once we do get started and fully immerse ourselves in the creative process, it’s really like there is nothing else in the world and we are very focused. And believe it or not, for the most part, we have a ton of fun making this music! Creating ‘Deceivers’ It was no different. Once again we shut out the outside world and went deep into the artistic zone. I believe we pulled out some really interesting musical and lyrical themes this time, a few things might even raise an eyebrow or two — while retaining all the signature elements of the band. In the end, it’s ARCH ENEMY at full speed and power.”
