Arch Enemy: The Root Of All Evil

I still can’t get in to Arch Enemy. I think their sound is awesome but I just can’t get in to Angela’s voice enough to bring myself to be more interested in more of their music besides what I have. Maybe I just don’t listen enough, I don’t know. I also wonder how the old school, hardcore Arch Enemy fans feel about them re-recording songs from older albums. I know if Andreas Kisser decided to re-record old Sepultura songs with Derek Green I would have a conniption.

Here is a presser and a link to Arch Enemy’s Myspace where you can listen to a newly recorded version of “Bury Me An Angel”.

Swedish melodic Metal masters, Arch Enemy, have posted a second track off their upcoming release, The Root of All Evil, on the official Arch Enemy MySpace page (www.myspace.com/archenemy). “Bury Me An Angel” joins “Beast of Man” as the first tracks to be posted off the new album, which is due out on October 6th on Century Media Records.

The Root of All Evil contains a selection of completely re-recorded tracks from the band’s first three albums Black Earth (1996), Stigmata (1998) and Burning Bridges (1999), reenergized and upgraded by the band’s definitive line-up. The album was recorded by Daniel Erlandsson and Rickard Bengtsson, whereas mixing and mastering duties were handled by Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Testament, Exodus).

The Root Of All Evil will be available as regular CD, LP (with the full album on CD as bonus), Digital Download, and Limited Edition CD including a special Mediabook packaging, three additional live bonus tracks, alternate artwork, an extended booklet, and an exclusive embroidered patch.
