An exceptional lineup, built for those who live and breathe pure fucking metal. We look forward to bringing you a new era of ARCH ENEMY to a city near you. Be there!"
Drummer Alan Cassidy of THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER chimed in with his signature humor, stating: "I'd take my arch enemy to see THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER and ARCH ENEMY! Then throw them in the pit. See you this fall!"
Pre-sales for this monumental tour kick off on Wednesday, May 20 at 10 a.m. local time and will remain open until Thursday, May 21 at 10 p.m. local time. General ticket sales will launch on Friday, May 22 at 10 a.m. local time.
ARCH ENEMY, forged in the fires of 1996 by Swedish guitar legend Michael Amott, has spent nearly three decades crafting a legacy at the crossroads of extremity and melody. This iconic band has evolved into one of the definitive forces of modern extreme metal, marked by their razor-sharp riffing, twin-guitar leads, and anthemic songwriting. Their catalogue spans eleven studio albums, from the cult classic 'Black Earth' (1996) to genre-defining milestones such as 'Wages Of Sin' (2001) and the arena-conquering works of the 2000s.
With a lineup that has transformed yet remained anchored by Amott’s vision, ARCH ENEMY has embraced a bold new chapter in 2026. The band has unveiled former ONCE HUMAN vocalist Lauren Hart as their new frontwoman, signifying a revitalized era. Their latest single, 'To The Last Breath', embodies this new direction while retaining the band’s trademark ferocity and introducing a fresh vocal dynamic.
Meanwhile, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER continues to tour in support of their critically acclaimed tenth studio album, 'Servitude', released in 2024 through Metal Blade Records. This album, described as a brisk collection of raging riffs and solid grooves, has received accolades from various metal outlets, solidifying the band’s reputation as one of melodeath’s most consistent forces.
