Arch Enemy Complete Drum Tracks; Photos, Video Available

Having announced the return of original guitarist Christopher Amott, Arch Enemy have now commenced the recording process for the much anticipated follow-up to 2005's 'Doomsday Machine', the band's most successful album to date. They have once again enlisted the duties of acclaimed producer Fredrik Nordström (Dimmu Borgir, In Flames) at Sweden's Studio Fredman, where the band recorded all of their albums through 'Wages Of Sin' (2001).

Daniel Erlandsson (drums) checks in with an update on the recording process: "Greetings all Arch Enemies! As you might know, we are currently recording our new album at Studio Fredman. It's been a very smooth ride so far, and working with engineers Fredrik and Patrik has been fantastic - these guys are pros! All the drum tracks are now completed. We recorded a total of 11 new tracks, plus some other extras that I'm sure you will hear about at a later point.

"The new songs sound very fresh and diverse. Some songs are faster and more extreme than before, while some songs are very heavy and melodic - but they all have the ARCH ENEMY imprint in capital letters! I have no doubt that these songs will please those who like to bang their heads to the sound of pure fucking metal!"
