Arch Enemy long ago stopped only to be Swedish band, although originally they started as one. Now, they are international band of creative and fantastic talented musicians still led by Michael Amott formerly known of Carcass, Carnage and couple of more bands. This is Arch Enemy’s album number 13, first one in three years. This opus contains 11 songs, one being Blaspheme cover. It starts pretty aggressive in their trademark harsh death thrash metal way with energetic Dream Stealer. What I love about this band are epic guitar melodies thrown in brutality courtesy of Amott and Joey Concepcion topped with fantastic voice of singer Alissa White-Gluz who started to vary between her brutal growling and clean melodic singing in last couple of albums. One of the most epic and melodic songs with beautiful clean vocals chorus is for sure Illuminate The Path, one of my favorites on this record. Title song is also one of my highlights on this record, because I love more those melodic epic songs with so called Swedish guitars and this one nailed it like no other on this record. Couple of more songs I must mention on this album are The Pendulum, Paper Tiger and Liars & Thieves. This is not one of their best works but it is a damn good album.
