Deceivers

Last copies available of the first pressing 6-panel digifile edition of “Deceivers”, the outstanding twelfth studio album from Sweden's Arch Enemy, a record that restores much of the aggression, energy and melodic inspiration that established the band as one of the defining names in modern melodic death metal. Across eleven tracks, “Deceivers” finds Michael Amott's band striking a particularly successful balance between the crushing intensity of their classic releases and the musical identity developed throughout the Alissa White-Gluz era, resulting in one of the strongest albums of this chapter in the band's career.

Backed by Jacob Hansen's powerful production, “Deceivers” delivers a repertoire packed with razor-sharp riffs, spectacular guitar interplay between Michael Amott and Jeff Loomis, memorable choruses and a superb vocal performance from Alissa White-Gluz, shifting effortlessly between moments of fierce intensity and passages with a far stronger melodic appeal. Songs such as “Deceiver, Deceiver”, “Handshake with Hell”, “The Watcher” and “In the Eye of the Storm” showcase the band at the height of their powers. Highly recommended for fans of Carcass, The Haunted, Dark Tranquillity and Soilwork.
