On September 28th, 2009 ARCH ENEMY will release their new studio album “The Root Of All Evil” in Europe. It contains a selection of completely re-recorded tracks from the band’s first three albums “Black Earth” (1996), “Stigmata” (1998) and “Burning Bridges” (1999) reenergized and unified by the band’s ultimate line-up!

Originally recorded with ever changing band members (i.e. former vocalist Johan Liiva, drummer Peter Wildoer, bass player Martin Bengtsson), “The Root Of All Evil” presents classic tracks as “Beast Of Man”, “The Immortal”, “Transmigration Macabre” or “Bridge Of Destiny” with the insane vocals of Angela Gossow, several completely new bass lines by Sharlee D’Angelo, the ever-present guitar wizardry of the Amott brothers as well as Daniel Erlandsson’s merciless punch. The entire project was approached with the idea of having the possibility to re-add these songs to the bands live set and follow up the release with some special touring activity.

万众瞩目的大敌新专辑终于在2007年揭开神秘面纱继续引领旋死潮流，歌曲<RISE OF THETYRANT>是我们录制过的最极端的歌曲，Angela写的歌词和歌曲的基调完美的融合，所以我们把这首歌作为专辑的名字，封面很好的揭示了这首歌表现出的狂妄和残暴。

女主唱Angela Nathalie Gossow 的嗓音在这张专辑里显得更为原始和粗暴，上张专辑《Doomsday Machine 》明显听出是用了效果器，在这张专辑里，那种经过效果器处理的味道不见了，而且不大能听出来是个女人的吼声了。
