Swedish melodic death metal band, ARCH ENEMY has released the official video for its new single, "The Eagle Flies Alone", taken from the band's upcoming album, "Will To Power", out on this September 8. Produced by Michael Amott and drummer Daniel Erlandsson, "Will To Power" was mixed and mastered by longtime collaborator and friend Jens Bogren (OPETH, AT THE GATES, DIMMU BORGIR). The album's captivating cover artwork was designed by Alex Reisfar.
The video was director by Patric Ullaeus. Music and lyrics by Michael Amott
Michael Amott, the guitarist, said: "Strangely enough, this is a song I wrote in sunny Mexico last year, but fear not — ARCH ENEMY hasn't gone mariachi on you! On the contrary, this song is steeped in classic metal and melancholic Scandinavian atmosphere. Lyrically, this is an anthemic warcry to all fellow individualists around the heavy metal world. We shot the video with our director Patric Ullaeus in Sweden on the coldest outdoor shoot I can recall ever doing! The end result was totally worth it; it turned out beautifully. I guess sometimes you really have to suffer for the art!"
Michael told TotalRock: "The writing never really stops; I'm always fiddling around on the guitar. I come up with a little idea, record it and save it. And then piece it all together later on. The actual real writing of the new album, 'Will To Power', started about a year and a half ago," he continued. "We started seriously putting together demos and so forth. So it was a fun process. When you've not recorded an album for two and a half [or] three years, it's really fun to get into that creative mindset again and enter the studio.
"Will To Power" is the second ARCH ENEMY album since the departure of singer Angela Gossow. It is also the first ARCH ENEMY album to feature guitarist Jeff Loomis, who joined the band in late 2014.
