Swedish/Canadian/American melodic death metallers ARCH ENEMY have dropped "Deceiver, Deceiver", their first new song in four years. The track's official music video, directed by Patric Ullaeus, can be seen here.
The band announced the release in a video message earlier today. In the clip, which can be seen below, frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz said: "Surprise! We are ARCH ENEMY and we are back with our newest single 'Deceiver, Deceiver' which is available everywhere that you listen to music now. So go check it out and also check out our stories because we are counting down to the live music video premiere for 'Deceiver, Deceiver' later today, so we'll see you there."
ARCH ENEMY's founder, guitarist and chief songwriter Michael Amott added in a statement: "Wait...what? Has it really been four years since we last released new ARCH ENEMY music? Time flies...especially when you tour the world for a couple of years, decide to take some time off...and then we all get hit with a global fckn pandemic! Everyone's been through hard times these last couple of years, and it's beautiful to see everything coming back now. This very much feels like the right moment to return with a brand new song, 'Deceiver, Deceiver'! Not the happiest of tunes, but believe me — we're ecstatic to be back!"
In January 2019, ARCH ENEMY released a compilation, "Covered In Blood", of all cover songs the band has recorded throughout its career.
In the fall of 2018, Amott revealed that he had commenced the songwriting process for the follow-up to the "Will To Power" album. Released in 2017, that disc marked the second ARCH ENEMY album since the departure of longtime singer Angela Gossow and addition of White-Gluz. It was also the first ARCH ENEMY disc to feature former NEVERMORE guitarist Jeff Loomis, who joined the band in late 2014.
Jeff, who was the main songwriter in his previous group, NEVERMORE, was not involved in the writing for "Will To Power".
