Rise of the Tyrant

Last copies available of the special 6-panel digifile edition, complete with a 20-page booklet, of “Rise of the Tyrant”, the eighth full-length from Sweden's Arch Enemy, an album that marked the band's long-awaited return after four years without a new studio release and confirmed the remarkable creative momentum surrounding Michael Amott's band. Remaining true to the unmistakable Arch Enemy sound, “Rise of the Tyrant” combines the aggression of the band's classic melodic death metal style with particularly inspired songwriting, resulting in one of the heaviest and most consistent releases of the Angela Gossow era.

Backed by Fredrik Nordström's powerful production, “Rise of the Tyrant” delivers eleven tracks packed with razor-sharp riffs, spectacular guitar harmonies, memorable melodic passages and Angela Gossow's ferocious vocal performance, maintaining a flawless balance between speed, heaviness and melody throughout. Songs such as “Blood on Your Hands”, “The Last Enemy”, “I Will Live Again” and “Revolution Begins” capture the band at the height of its creative powers. Highly recommended for fans of Carcass, The Haunted, Dark Tranquillity and Soilwork.
