(record review)ARCH ENEMY-“Will To Power”(Century Media records)

folder

Wow! We are already at the tenth studio album made by this excellent melodic death trash metal Sweden based band. This is the first album after lineup change with new guitar player Jeff Loomis aboard. The album contains 12 songs. After the intro “Set Flame TO The Night” when the opener “The Race” was playing I noticed how much raw energy combined with melodic guitar hooks can this band provide. The concept of Arch Enemy songwriting has not changed, and why should it? One of the highlights of the album for sure is “The World Is Yours” with brutal but also anthemic chorus. What surprised me the most is clean singing on “Reason To Believe”, first in bands history and it sounds great. Alissa is really excellent vocalist, she proved that when she was still in her former band. Lyrically, this band always made dark but good, fighting and uplifting lyrics that made me full of strength. Summary:this album is no better than its predecessor, but it is also not worse, so they kept the same level and I loved it.

8/10
