Arch Enemy – ‘Deceivers’ CD

‘Deceivers’ is the eleventh studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Arch Enemy. Originally scheduled for a July 29th 2022 release, the album was pushed back to August 12th, 2022, for undisclosed reasons. ‘Deceivers’ is Arch Enemy’s first studio album since 2017’s ‘Will to Power,’ marking the longest gap between two of their studio albums.

Arch Enemy has always been reliable, dropping a solid collection of catchy, chunky melodic death every few years with at least a handful of real bangers to chew on. However, with ‘Deceivers’ they have surprisingly managed to up their game, delivering an album that slays from start to finish and is essential listening for metalheads yearning for a soundtrack to wreck their necks too.
