Arch Enemy have surprise-released a new single.
Watch the video for Dream Stealer, directed by Patric Ullaeus (In Flames, Dimmu Borgir, Children Of Bodom), below.
Guitarist Michael Amott comments: “First new Arch Enemy song we release in a little while and it feels good to be back!
“It was a blast working on Dream Stealer in the studio, this song just has the high energy and twisted atmosphere that makes it so fun to play!
“Crank it up, loud and heavy! Metal is immortal!”
Dream Stealer was mixed by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Sepultura, At The Gates) and mastered by Tony Lindgren (Billie Eilish, Enslaved, Wardruna) at Fascination Street Studios.
It’s the first song the band have released with guitarist Joey Concepcion. Concepcion replaces predecessor Jeff Loomis, who departed the band in late 2023.
Dream Stealer is also Arch Enemy’s first new music since the release of 11th album Deceivers in 2022.
Metal Hammer gave Deceivers a glowing four-star review upon release.
“Such was the blinding quality of Arch Enemy’s early 00s heyday that all subsequent releases have been met with an unfair weight of expectation,” wrote journalist Adam Brennan.
“But yet again, not only does Deceivers earn its place in one of the most reliable discographies in modern metal, it does so by being among the bravest and most entertaining to date.”
Arch Enemy will embark on a dream melodeath co-headline tour in October, playing across Europe with In Flames.
Support will come from Soilwork.
