Metal masters ARCH ENEMY are currently locked up in the Sweet Spot
Studio facilities in the south of Sweden recording their newest studio
album which is being engineered/mixed by Rickard Bengtsson (who already
produced 2005's “Doomsday Machine”). After releasing the “Tyrants Of The
Rising Sun – Live In Japan” Live DVD/CD (2008) and the re-recordings
album “The Root Of All Evil” (2009), the new studio effort marks the
long awaited successor of 2007’s acclaimed “Rise Of The Tyrant” album.



Previous to the recording session, UK’s Bonkers Entertainment caught
up with ARCH ENEMY at their headline show at the HMV Forum in London UK
on November 27th, 2010. This concert was the last stop on a three year
long touring cycle for the “Rise Of The Tyrant” and “The Root Of All
Evil” albums. In the interview the members of Arch Enemy discussed the
upcoming recording of the new studio album, the song writing process and
touring plans for 2011. During the conversation, the band also divulged
the title of the new album to be “Khaos Legions”. Check out the full
clip here:

Coming off a triumphant headlining tour
in the UK last month with support by Grand Magus, Chthonic and
Malefice, metal masters ARCH ENEMY have begun recording a new studio
album. After releasing the “Tyrants Of The Rising Sun – Live In Japan”
Live DVD/CD (2008) and the re-recordings album “The Root Of All Evil”
(2009), the new studio effort marks the long awaited successor of 2007’s
acclaimed “Rise Of The Tyrant” album.

ARCH ENEMY’s new album will be self-produced by the band and
engineered/mixed by Rickard Bengtsson (who already produced 2005's
“Doomsday Machine” album). The band has recently entered Sweet Spot
Studio in the south of Sweden for the album’s recording process and
drummer Daniel Erlandsson, who just finished off tracking his parts, now
checks in with the following report:



"After an intense but inspiring stay in the studio, I've just
completed recording the drum tracks for the upcoming ARCH ENEMY album!
We're working once again with Rickard Bengtsson, who produced "Doomsday
Machine", and he quickly dialed in an absolutely pristine drumtone! I've
also had the expertise of local drum guru Beppe Wackelin at hand,
helping out with tuning and kindly letting me use some of his vintage
drums. This time around I've used a Pearl Reference drum kit, while
incorporating various snare drums on songs that demanded a slightly
different feel.

We had a very inspiring and creative time writing this album, I think
this is definitely evident when listening to the new songs. There's
tons of variation in the material, ranging all the way from very melodic
to extremely heavy. As you can expect there's no shortage of killer
riffs and intricate guitar work, the Amott Bros have come up with some
very cool yet demanding ideas! This album has some of the fastest songs
I've ever recorded, along with a bunch of heavy pounding mid tempo
songs. As always, it's difficult to describe music in words - but rest
assured - this album will be one heavy fucker!"

We guess you’ve already seen the first part of ARCH ENEMY’s studio
report. The one about Daniel Erlandsson tracking drums at Sweet Spot
Studio in the south of Sweden. The band is currently there recording
their self-produced new 2011 album “Khaos Legions” with the help of
Rickard Bengtsson (who produced 2005's “Doomsday Machine” album). If
not, hurry up and click here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]



Part 2 of the studio report shows bass-player Sharlee D’Angelo scarifying his bleeding fingers for the sake of KHAOS:



“Ladies and gentlemen, the low end is firmly in place! After a long
day of ploughing through an absolutely massive array of bass guitars,
different amps and cabs, and various other electronic gadgets the choice
finally fell on my white custom shop Ibanez Iceman run through an MXR
Bass D.I.+ and an Aguilar Tonehammer into an Aguilar DB751 head and a
DB810 cab, complimented by a Marshall VBC 412 cab, hidden behind a
veritable forest of expensive microphones on serious looking mic stands.




And the result? Fucking awesome, people! Our engineer Rickard
Bengtsson is an audio nerd with a rock'n'roll backbone who does not give
up until he finds what he's looking for - and thank fuck for that.
Cause the songs on this album really need to be presented in the best
way possible. Having laid down all the bass tracks now I just can't wait
for everybody to hear the album, and to play all these songs live for
you all! But we're not quite there yet, next up are blistering leads
from the depths of hell...”
