Arch Enemy - The Root Of All Evil

Arch Enemy's original vocalist was Johan Liiva, who was with the band for their first three albums. He departed the group in 2000, and was replaced by Angela Gossow. For their latest studio album The Root Of All Evil, Arch Enemy has re-recorded songs from those first three albums: Black Earth (1996), Stigmata (1998) and Burning Bridges (1999). It's set for an October 6, 2009 North American release on Century Media Records.

Originally recorded with ever changing band members, The Root Of All Evil includes classic tracks as “Beast Of Man”, “The Immortal”, “Transmigration Macabre” and “Bridge Of Destiny” with the vocals of Angela Gossow and several completely new bass lines by Sharlee D’Angelo. The project was approached with the idea of having the possibility to re-add these songs to the bands live set and follow up the release with some special touring activity.

The album was recorded at a few different locations in Sweden and produced by Arch Enemy with Daniel Erlandsson and Rickard Bengtsson handling the engineering. It was mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap.
