Arch Enemy – ‘Deceivers’

Arch Enemy will release their 11th studio album, “Deceivers”, on August 12th, 2022. Alissa White-Gluz also talked about the upcoming album:

“I think over the course of the last couple of years everyone has had to rethink how they release because of the way music is consumed now. We put equal time into all the songs, but then, maybe only two or three of them get highlighted as singles. But that’s not to say that the rest of the songs didn’t take just as much time and energy and heart to create. We have fans who know every single song, but we wanted to give people an opportunity to discover a little bit more about our sound.”

We made something special together because of the heartbreak and heartache that came from all our experiences. When you listen to Hotel Kalifornia, I hope you see how far we’ve come.
