Musik - Arch Enemy: Original Gitarrist Christopher Amott wieder dabei
Arch Enemy haben bekannt gegeben dass der Original Gitarrist Christopher Amott wieder bei der Band eingestiegen ist.
Christopher Amott war überraschend bei Arch Enemy nach den Aufnahmen zu "Doomsday Machine" in 2005 ausgestiegen. Nachdem er bereits mit 18 Jahren bei der Band begann und dort 10 Jahre spielte, hatte er sich vorgenommen es mal ohne Musik zu probieren, die Phase sei nun aber vorbei...

Hier ein Statement der Band:
» Commenting on the re-grouping announcement he states:
"This is very exciting for me, returning to Arch Enemy as a fulltime member! Right now we are working on our forthcoming album and I'm very pleased about the way it's turning out. The new songs are fast and furious with lots of melody! To all the people who sent me kind messages while I was out of the band, thank you for your support, it helped me a lot. After this (much needed) two year break, I'm looking forward to getting back on the road. I hope to see you all later this year!"
Arch Enemy mastermind Michael Amott compliments his younger brother Christopher perfectly in style and chemistry and together they have become one of the most infamous and ripping guitar teams in extreme metal. Michael comments:
"So, we are back with my brother Christopher on guitar - it's a huge rush to have him back playing in his signature style! He's jumped in at the end of the songwriting process for the new album and added some of his unique spice! I feel Christopher's playing has matured and is more precise and even faster than before! Guitar fans are going to freak on the stuff we are getting up to on the new album!"
The last two years have been the busiest and most successful touring campaign of Arch Enemy's entire career, so the many fans both old and especially new can now look forward to witnessing Christopher's return to the stages of the world. In regards to Fredrik Åkesson, the Swedish guitar-wizard who has been touring with Arch Enemy for 18 months and who can be seen on the band's latest video clip for the song "My Apocalypse", Michael states:
"I want to add that we are eternally grateful to Fredrik Åkesson, who did an outstanding job with Arch Enemy over the past 18 months while we dragged the 'Doomsday Machine' around the world a couple of times - YOU ARE FUCKING AWESOME!" «
