Arch Enemy Reveals Album Title And Cover Art

Arch Enemy have completed work on their highly anticipated new album, "Doomsday Machine," set for a July 26th release. The disc’s striking cover art by acclaimed artist Joachim Luetke (Dimmu Borgir) has just been posted here.

Michael Amott (guitarist/songwriter) comments:

We are all extremely pleased with the artwork for the new album! I had a few ideas initially that I discussed with Joachim on the phone, and when he started sending over images, we were seriously blown away. When you work with creative people of this caliber, you just let them do what they do, so we just let him get on with it. He’s a very productive guy, very sharp. He expanded on the Doomsday Machine concept and took it to some really interesting (albeit very dark) places. It’s one of those great situations when the artwork totally works with the music. Simply awesome.

With their dynamic mixture of melody and aggression, Arch Enemy are poised to be this year’s Ozzfest breakthrough artist. They have a slew of high profile off-dates scheduled this summer with such acclaimed acts as Black Dahlia Murder, In Flames, The Haunted and Trivum, among others (see below for their complete summer touring schedule). With Doomsday Machine, the group delivers the album of their career and redefines the genre they helped to create.
