Swedish/German extreme metallers
ARCH ENEMY have just completed the Australian leg of
The Black Crusade Tour with
MACHINE HEAD and
TRIVIUM.
Commented
ARCH ENEMY guitarist
Michael Amott: "Our third visit to Australia was killer! We had a good time as usual here and I enjoyed the shows, which were all pretty huge and fun to play.
MACHINE HEAD,
TRIVIUM and
ARCH ENEMY proved to be a great package. Great shows, great weather and great people! I'd also like to thank all the good people at
CMI who supplied the
Randall amps and hooked up the in-stores I did, always fun to talk string gauges and tubes with guitar kids ā and Iām not being ironic here!"
ARCH ENEMY will next be playing two headlining shows in Greece and Spain, followed by the much-anticipated European leg of
The Black Crusade Tour with
MACHINE HEAD,
DRAGONFORCE,
TRIVIUM and
SHADOWS FALL.
ARCH ENEMY's video for the song
"Revolution Begins" can be viewed below. The clip was shot in early September just days before
ARCH ENEMY flew to North America to begin the
Black Tyranny tour (with
MACHINE HEAD,
THROWDOWN and
SANCTITY). To promote their new album,
"Rise of the Tyrant", the band shot two videos in Gothenburg, Sweden with director
Patric Ullaeus (
IN FLAMES,
LACUNA COIL), and while filming
"Revolution Begins", drummer
Daniel Erlandsson's hair went up in smoke.
"The video is set in a huge gravel pit with plenty of pyros going off whilst we were playing," said singer
Angela Gossow in a statement. "[During the shoot, the direction of] the wind changed and
Daniel's hair was no more ā well, at least some of it. It kinda caught fire and literally melted down in a split second. Pretty, pretty scary!"
The next day,
ARCH ENEMY had other heat problems shooting the second video for the song
"I Will Live Again". "We shot [it] in
Patric's studio with me being tied back to the wall, fighting against the chains,"
Gossow said. "I tore them right out of the wall and flew into the burning hot set lights in front of me. The result [was] a couple of third-degree burns on my forearms. Ouch! I will remember that one for quite awhile.'
