Today, extreme metal masters Arch Enemy have released a new single and video, “Sunset Over The Empire”. The track is from the band’s upcoming 11th studio album, Deceivers, which will be available via Century Media Records on July 29th.
Michael Amott spoke about the new track by saying:
Behold the ‘Sunset Over The Empire’, the 4th single from our upcoming ‘Deceivers’ album! This is a faster song with some manic riffs and a relentless beat that I can envision becoming a ‘hit in the pit’! Lyrically, it’s sadly one of those that seems to ring more true with each and every passing day nowadays…’Words turned to war, brother fighting brother, another false truce, as the people die…’.
The accompanying video was shot in Poland with the Grupa13 team and doesn’t follow the lyrics slavishly but has a great message and vibe in its own right. Oh, and I’m stoked that we’re releasing ‘Sunset Over The Empire’ as a limited edition physical single on 7″ vinyl!”
Arch Enemy will appear at select festivals this summer, before kicking off the rescheduled “European Siege 2022” tour with Behemoth, Carcass, Unto Others in the fall. See below for all dates; tickets can be purchased at https://www.archenemy.net/
