Arch Enemy - Wacken Open Air 2004 In Review
Arch Enemy singer Angel Gossow has issued the following message to the fans at this year’s Wacken Open Air on the band’s official website http://www.archenemy.net:
“Cheers,
Just wanna drop a few words about Wacken, cuz it was absolutely fantastic for us! A big HELLO and THANK YOU goes out to all the people who have been waiting patiently for us to perform there: We finally made it to this crazy festival! And yes, it was worth the long van-ride down from Sweden! We not only had a fantastic, wild crowd when we played, we were also amazed and shocked by the amount of fans hanging out at the signing tent! Sorry to all those who couldn’t get their stuff signed, but we only had 45 minutes and had to leave on time – the next band was already there waiting for their turn..
We had a packed promo schedule that day, meeting and greeting a hell lot of cool people! I did a metal quiz with the great lady of rock, Mrs. Doro Pesch, met the guys from Hobbs Angel Of Death (cult!), chatted and laughed with Sabina Classen and talked to various members of Destruction, Marduk, Warlock, Hypocrisy, etc.. It takes me about one week to handle all the impressions I got during this lovely sunny Friday at Wacken!
Love, Angela”

Ex-Marduk & Dark Angel Members Join Forces
Former Marduk members Legion (a.k.a. Erik Hagsted, vocals) and B.War (bass) will be joining forces with guitarist Jim Durkin (Dreams of Damnation, ex-Dark Angel) in a new death metal project. The band, which will be based out of Los Angeles, is "only a recording project, on paper at this point" Durkin told blabbermouth.net. "I wrote a song for them, but we have not done anything yet. I look forward to making music with them. But my main focus is and always has been Dreams of Damnation. Everything revolves around Dreams of Damnation for me."
A name for the group has not yet been determined.
B.War quit Marduk earlier this year to move to Los Angeles to be with his family. Legion and his family will also be relocating to Los Angeles later this year.
