Arch Enemy Launches New E-Card For "Tyrants of the Rising Sun - Live In Japan"

ARCH ENEMY has posted a brand-new e-card for their new live release "Tyrants Of The Rising Sun – Live In Japan," which streets on November 24th, 2008 in Europe and November 25th in North America. You can watch the full "Blood On Your Hands" live clip from the DVD's main show, the promo clip for "I Will Live Again" from the special features section, check out the DVD's menu structure and find out more about this release. Additional advance content will be revealed in the Ecard in the coming days.

Guitarist Michael Amott checks in today as follows: "While I'm out on a reunion tour with Carcass in South America, I am excited to see the release date for the new Arch Enemy live DVD drawing nearer. The feedback on the already launched online snippets has been great, so we can't wait for you to see the whole thing and get your (blood soaked) hands on the excellent packaging that's been assembled for this release. The e-card now shows you a full song, 'Blood On Your Hands', live in Tokyo March 8th, 2008! I just watched the whole DVD again myself last night and it makes me wanna go out and tour with Arch Enemy again right away! I'm looking forward to the 'December Tyranny' dates for sure!"

You can also check out the song "Taking Back My Soul" (the original version appears on 2005's "Doomsday Machine" album) in its uncompromising live intensity and impressing Andy Sneap mix at the band's MySpace page

Recorded in March of 2008 in Tokyo, "Tyrants Of The Rising Sun – Live In Japan" is a live document of the "Rise Of The Tyrant" touring cycle and also marks ARCH ENEMY's first internationally available live-album (and second DVD after "Live Apocalypse"). The bonus content includes an in-depth road movie allowing further insight into the ARCH ENEMY-cult phenomenon in Asia as well as several promo clips.

"Tyrants Of The Rising Sun" will be available as Deluxe DVD+2CD with special packaging, Standard DVD, Standard 2CD and Ltd. 2LP (with alternate artwork).
