Arch Enemy & Kreator team up for North American Tour

Earlier this week Sweden’s Arch Enemy unleashed their new album War Eternal.  The album is perhaps one of the most dominating release by the band in years.  Read the review on CrypticRock here.  Now today in support of the new record the band announce their extensive European tour and North American tour plains.   Making their return to American soil for the first time since 2011, Arch Enemy are teaming up with Kreator, Huntress, and Starkill for a October/November tour.

Guitarist Michael Amott stated “It’s been three long years since Arch Enemy last played North America, but now the wait is over! We’re riding a veritable metal tsunami in Europe with our new album ‘War Eternal’ and look forward to spreading the chaos on this N.A. run! ARCH ENEMY is very proud and excited to be teaming up with Teutonic thrash titans Kreator as well as Huntress and Starkill! Miss this show at your own peril!”

This tour is quite a package for metal fans combing a variety of generations of metal all together.  More over America will get their first taste of the new line-up featuring newest members Alissa White-Gluz (vocals) and Nick Cordle (guitar)

Kreator’s Mille Petrozza (vocals, guitar) adds: “Both bands have been talking about touring together for many years, now it becomes reality: Kreator and Arch Enemy on one bill in the USA and Canada! We are looking forward to another killer run in support of our album ‘Phantom Antichrist’ before we will start writing new stuff in 2015! With Arch Enemy’s new album ‘War Eternal’ being a monster, this will be THE metal tour of the fall. Don`t miss it!”

Huntress a fast rising commodity in the metal world is fresh off extensive touring and spending time on Rockstar Energy’s Drink Mayhem Festival in 2013.  The band’s front woman Jill Janus stated : “North America, prepare for facemelting! Huntress is stoked to join the coveted Arch Enemy tour this fall. It’s an exciting time for women in heavy metal; we’re honored to be touring with Arch Enemy as the new era with Alissa White-Gluz begins. Kreator joining this killer tour makes us ecstatic, having been fans for many years. Huntress is ready to rage!”
