  • Production is weak on this album. Also, Johan was ill while doing his vocals (I've read in an interview) which explains why his voice sounds noticeably weak. Still a decent album but could have been much better.

  • Johan > Angela

  • Great!

    

  • Sounds like This Mortal Coil by Carcass

  • dude this guy cant decide if he wants to talk or scream

  • beutiful solo it can make me cry but im a man though but still..

  • this song is a masterpiece

  • 5:33 Jason Becker detected

  • @YngwieRU stop saying that

  • ending stolen from vinnie moore- last chance

  • Obviously Angela is more technical and have more stage presence. But I rather listen to him than her on Arch Enemy. I know this fight is much like Dickinson and Bailey. Besides that, I think Angela was a bit of promotional stunt, I know that she's great, but no one can deny that a bunch of people started listening to Arch Enemy because they wanted to hear a girl singing like that.

  • @caionicko

    Stage Presence? A 5' tall woman prancing around on stage isn't stage presence. I've seen Arch Enemy plenty of times- She doesn't do shit. Oh no, I'm going to come down to the crowd during a guitar solo and give high fives, such stage presence!

    Axl Rose has stage presence, David Lee Roth had stage presence, Bruce Dickenson has stage presence, Phil Anselmo has stage presence. Angela Gossow does NOT have stage presence.

    There isn't anything 'technical' about her style, either.

  • I think Angela compliments the band's compositions perfectly. I think Johan sounds like a constipated bear..

  • @solidiquis1 I think you are incredibly confused.

  • @solidiquis1 That's why Johan was more brutal. I'd be afraid for my life at the growl of a constipated bear, not a chick yelling at me. I get that all the time as it is. lol

  • @Shamanloki That comment was posted 2 months ago when i wasn't really used to the brutal death metal vocal style. I more used to the more guttural low growls then. But then I started listening to Decapitated's Organic Hullocunosis and got used to it. I'm a pretty big Johann fan now, but I still like Angela.

  • they stole the solo from Jason Becker /:

  • @MuhammadSweepmez yea. but who cares this song is still awesome

  • @HerveGamerDude I like it too, But no need to steal from Jason...

  • @MuhammadSweepmez maybe it was just a coincidence. who knows

    one time i was messing my guitar playing some random notes and it came out sounding like eagle fly free by helloween

  • i like angela better..

  • 5:34

  • Comment removed

  • WHAT? A constipated bear was their vocalist before Angela?

  • @NealMcCrispy yeah and then angela got into auditions becuz arch enemy wanted a better singer.. and she basically won .. and thats how she got into the band

  • in my opinion, i think liiva sounds better than Angela. i don't really think her growls are that good. i think that the band is now known, in a way, because it's the band with that woman who growls... however, as i said, it's my opinion. don't go hating on me x)

  • @Dinopaterno22  i agree with you. angela is better.. not becuz shes a girl. but for me.. her style is a lot better

  • @Dianarocks333 i said angela wasn't better xD

  • For me, this arch enemy is a whole different band from current arch enemy, both excelent

  • Sure there's definitly Phantom of the Opera in there :D

  • man i love this song!

  • @TheBloodOrchid

    Depends if you prefer more brutal or more intense

  • Angela's sounds WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAY better. Far more intense.

  • @TheBloodOrchid um no

  • @TheBloodOrchid is not angela. is a guy that was with arch enemy but soon left the band.. lol

  • Lordi, reading through some of these comments makes me feel ashamed to be an Arch Enemy fan...

    How on earth is metal gonna survive if we have fighting in our ranks about "old v new"? I've seen so much bitching about old being better on so many bands' songs on Youtube, it's ridiculous.... Jeez, just enjoy the music, and if you don't have anything nice to say just don't say anything.

  • I don't like that vocalist good thing that he's not with them anymore...

  • ahh... the old Arch Enemy when they used to sound like millions of guitars were raining down from the sky

  • @LinkmitchTV1 So, a bunch of annoying crashing sounds? :\

    Pretty sure Gravity will make that happen.

  • @FlyingPillowMan ?? i dont understando what you mean but ill assume ur talking about the drums which in this case is awesome!!!!!!!! but if u were talking about the guitars well, i have no clue what ur on

  • @LinkmitchTV1 I took what you said literally... xP

    Guitars + Falling from sky = Hitting ground.

  • My favourite Arch Enemy's song !

  • Ah this was the time when you didn't need a growl to be death metal. You could just use the good ol' yell.

  • i like angela's vocals better.

  • Guitar solo seems to be stolen from Altidtudes of Jason Becker

  • @BlazingSoul93 Much alike at the begining but takes other ways, by the way that song of Becker is fukn amazing.

  • @BlazingSoul93 thats what i first fukin thought when i listened to altitudes, i said holy shit i've heard this melody before in some arch enemy song, and now i realized it was bridge of destiny, but still beckers song shits on that one although its fuckn awesome

  • @BlazingSoul93 hehe xDD dude when i herd that song like a long time ago i was like OMG!

  • Sounds kinda like Patrick Star fronting a metal band :D

  • Simplemente una de las mas hermosas y epicas canciones que he oido lml

  • ahh the old archenemy..

  • god song

  • Hm I think Angelas the better vocalist, but by the way there solos are youst delicious it sounds like the guitar would tell it's history xD

  • best solo ever *-*

  • Love the outro sooo much

  • The instrumental part of the song makes me think of Soilwork. Liiva's vocals are not even close to the level of intensity this song has. No wonder they took on Angela instead. This song requires a shitload of Phil Anselmo to make it awesome.

  • get the fuck out angela sucks i was listening to arch enemy before that bitch joined fuck her

  • fuck you this guy is horrible dude

  • @skatermike62 ur stupid

  • @bigmonkeyman44 man, I prefer Liiva too, in fact, the best arch enemy work by far are the first three albums plus burning japan (in which liiva was there). This song rocks, btw :)

  • HAHAHAHAA wow ur an idiot !!

  • @FedorCroCop44 angela fuckin blows

  • Angelas growls are the best growls ever .. no man or woman can do it better than her .. so fuck off hater

  • @Alexthejumperr angela has no vocal range she sucks.....one trick pony only growls.

  • What ?! Use your fucking ears man ... If you started using them you could hear her fucking bad ass growls .. NOTHING IS BETTER THAN ANGELAS GROWLS !!!

  • @Alexthejumperr that's all she can do is growl she fuckin sucks....why cant the stupid bitch sing? one trick pony shitty vocalist.

  • She is in a fucking death metal band .. why should she do any thing else than growling ?!? .. Go see hanna montanne if you want to hear girly songs

  • @Alexthejumperr no i like diversity

  • arch enemy is not death metal

  • @Alexthejumperr MELODIC death metal, Consists of real singing. bigmonkeyman is right (LOL can't believe that sentence.)

  • @25zeppelins ughh Melo death usually doesnt have singing. Just because it says melodic death metal doesnt mean theres singing. Its just a genre.

  • @fearthreat47 um... Edge Of Sanity, Diabolical Masquerade and Arch enemy and Soilwork... all MeloDeth has singz

  • @25zeppelins wtf arch enemy does not have singing. And the other bands are not traditional melo death. At the gates, Dark tranquility, In flames. Those are your basic Melo death bands. And real Melo death does not have faggoty singing. Death growls all the way fuck yea!

  • @fearthreat47 yes, agreed. It' just song. Just deeply enjoy it genre- melody with or without lyrics. Important it melody for me. Fuck it!

  • it's exactly not growling , growling have lower range , believe me , check out other death metal bands and you will know what growl is ! Angelas is using harsh vocal PLUS SOME growl ! And if you ask me , Arch Enemy is MELODIC DEATH , not DEATH !

  • too bad this isn't her singing

  • no shit

  • @Jackson1010 i preffer johan liiva(this singer) he always wrote the better lyrics

  • @EbonfrothCovers You are aware that on the 3 albums Johan appeared on, he only wrote the lyrics to 8 songs, and on the latter 2, Stigmata and Burning Bridges, he only co-wrote 2 songs on each album with Mike (of which, this song is not one). So you're comparing the 4 he wrote alone to the several Angela has written, and saying that those 4 are better? And saying it on a song where the lyrics are written by Michael...

  • @Jackson1010 They redid it on The Root of All Evil, but this one's better. I like them in B more than C. And Johan's better than Angela.

  • Angela is a much better vocalist, and this is more thrashy than melodic death metal. Not bad, though.

  • I like Angela's vocals better....and shes Hot!!! but older Arch Enemy is also pretty good..

  • what do u prefer more ...THE OLD ARCH ENEMY THAT ACTUALLY WAS BETTER OR THE NEW ONE WITH ANGELA (NICE SINGEr)  that its not so good as the old one??

  • I Honestly like both equally...but the first album i heard was 'Anthems of Rebellion' and then 'Wages Of Sin' so ya i guess i like new Arch Enemy a little more than Old...but i seriously do like Angela Gossow more than Johan Liiva but both are Good death Metal singers thats for sure...

  • yeah dude , I like the old school melodic that Arch Enemy used to play , very brilliant

  • hahaha retard

  • haha idiot

  • so thats a female vocalist?? if so thats amazing(really good)

  • Not on this album its not

  • haha youre retarded. this is obviously not angela.

  • noo its not angela its JOHAN LIIVA

  • both angela and liiva have nice unique voices like every single human has, don't argue about that! just appreciate arch enemy's music like they are with...angela...or liiva ^^ peace out. gona see them december 4th on portugal muwahahaha

  • arch enemy fucking RUUUULEEEE

  • i find angela is more high pitched and johan is alot lower i like them both but kinda prefer john in these songs and angela in her songs

  • wow why did i say john johan

  • why did Liiva leave the band?

  • he was fired... he wanted credit for some of the stuff he didn't write, and he apparently want good enough live. I wish he stayed.

  • It was not his choice to stay but be glad that the band as a hole did not brake up.

  • Fuck yea this badass.

  • This is the REAL Arch Enemy!

  • 5:34 - Music at it's very best. I call that part of the song a summary of the good times of my life. Fuck yes METAL LEGENDS

  • defnitely sounds alot like phantom of the opera, but isn't. Johan was the shit though hands down, gossow is an awesome female vocalist though, the old albums are phenomenol

  • jesus man, how many times did you just say "best album"? can you be any more redundant? i'd consider investing in a thesaurus. but yeah this song is pretty kickass, save for the vocals

  • This is their best album, and was the album that got me into them. Their new(er) music is alright, but it'll never compare to the raw brutality of this album. I remember being blown away by this album and loving it. I don't by any means think they're the greatest band, but this is their best album, in my opinion. They act too much like conceited rock stars now, and they can act how they want, but it's turned me off from them.

  • After Liiva was out, Arch Enemy went downhill pretty fast, but that's just my opinion.

  • Agreed.

  • It's the truth, they did go downhill. They'd probably do better if they got another male vocalist and kick that bitch Angela out. I don't like her and I never will. She has no death metal voice and she sounds artificial!

  • I got into new Arch Enemy and didn't think that they could have been any better, but this is just amazing!

  • any 1 else hearing Phantom of the Opera in the end? 5.35

  • what??

  • omg ya!!! thats so phantom of the opera right there

  • i hear altitudes at the end... jaja

  • iron maiden's phantom of the opera? does really sound like it to me if thats what u mean

  • thank you!!and I've been wondering how I do know the riff after 5:36 ...

  • @TilbeMeg maybe yes but this song was written before phantom of the opea

  • @TheBloodyMetal Phantom of the opera.. was first played in 1986... the album this song is from.. 1998

  • @TilbeMeg change your ears dude seriously

  • Arch Enemy kicks ass, love the drums fr the into to this. im not a drummer so i dont know if its good er not, but it sounds BADASS!

  • i'm pretty sure it's not too easy to play this on drums.

  • SOLO PWNS ALL!!!

  • This song is so amazing. Arch Enemy were better with Liiva

  • well everyone changes his style thru time

  • You got that shit right!

  • Angela will stay in arch enemy for a long time so bad luck for you ;D

  • We'll see about that.

  • I don't understant how some (few) people can say Liiva is better than angela, that guy barely growls, he sounds as if a rapper and a growler had fused together...

    Arch Enemy went downhill? xD omg that's so ridiculous it isn't worth arguing about xD

  • Hes got the natural growl, Angela has the artificial growl. Angela is like Diet drink with artificial sweetener while Johan is like a regular drink with the natural sweetener (sugar). I'll take natural over artificial.

  • Sorry to burst your bubble. They did go down hill. You probably feel different cause you weren't listening to them 13 years ago like I was.

  • you know what? if they went down hill or not is a matter of taste, so there's no need the bother a lot with that. I'll just keep listening to this awesome down hill arch enemy ;)

  • That is your opinion, not factual. Here's an award for knowing them for 13 years though!

  • agreed, I also prefer how they sounded on the first two albums, I like the lower pitched sound of Johan even the guitars were in B back then, now they're in C.

  • i agree liiva sucks xD

  • Liva to me was more of thrashy type of vocalist. I don't think it really fit with some of the heavy riffs that Michael and Chris played. Angelas voice has that heavy death metal feel to it more than Liva's and it fits much better. I do however still like old AE. Transmigration Macabre, Diva Satanica, Pilgrim, and so many others are still among my top favs in the AE discography of awesome songs.

  • Amazing song! The end is so good!! For me, Arch Enemy has always been excellent and always will! I have a preference for the new Arch Enemy with Angela but I also love the album with Johan! I don't know when we will stop to see comments that criticize one of the two singers! The guitars, the bass and the drum still the same and still doing fuckin' good music!

    I hope that some people think like me!

    PURE FUCKING METAL!

  • Tune...

  • love the ending of this song, seriously epic

  • agree x 100. I think the end of this song is one of the most beautiful peices of music ever...it's cinematic.

  • yeah i tried adding to that to no avail anyway rock om

  • To be factual, the first 3 albums were Johan Liiva. And he was actually kicked from the band because he sucked live, and they had to remove him after he was pissed and broke a guy's nose with the microphone when throwing into the crowd; I should know. I have the guy's blood on my Offical Arch Enemy shirt! These guys were much more brutal with MUCH better solos in these times, because the brutality was at a deep level. Not even god himself could believe his creation's sucessfulness!

  • No shit? I didn't expect something like that from Johan Liiva :O

  • fuckin awesome! i neva knew that!

  • BTW: I was kinda loopy that night, (drunk, high, hyper. ROFL).

  • still, thats REALLY fuckin awesome. niiice!

  • seriously? holy shit

  • love the intro

  • love that solo 0:53-1:07 ;d

  • the new singer is angela gossow. they got rid of the old singer (johan liiva) because michael ammot (founder of arch enemy and the guitarist) said he didn't match the style they were going for, and told him to leave arch enemy. and i agree, it was a mistake, but if you wanna hear this guy singing more, he plays for a band called Hearse now :P

  • MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN THE CURRENT SINGER, What happened to this guy!?

  • i dont know... i thought that was that woman... what's her name? Angela or somethin?

    I dont know....

    Im not sexist or anything, but as a guy, i would appreciate the band a lot more if the vocals were by a guy and not a woman...

    She's good, but no woman can realy compare to a man's vocals, but she's the best that I know of.. ...

  • the new singer is angela gossow. they got rid of the old singer (johan liiva) because michael ammot (founder of arch enemy and the guitarist) said he didn't match the style they were going for, and told him to leave arch enemy. and i agree, it was a mistake, but if you wanna hear this guy singing more, he plays for a band called Hearse now :P

  • THEY KICKED HIM OUT. =P
