Arch Enemy took part in a press conference at the Wacken Open Air festival today (August 5), and offered some insight into their future plans. The band revealed that they will be releasing a new live album/DVD/Blu-ray, and also said they have “about seven or eight new songs” written.
Michael Amott said the following (transcribed by Blabbermouth):
“We’re gonna release a live release — you know, a live album, a live DVD, live Blu-ray, whatever… all that whole thing. That’s gonna be a very elaborate package, with a lot of bonus material and kind of telling the story from our two-year-old ‘War Eternal’ story. So that’s a very exciting project, of course. And then we’re also working on new songs. A new album is sort of there, somehow. We have about seven or eight new songs.”
“We’ve just taken six months off the road, so we used some of that to write new material. I’ve been writing a lot, as I always have, and, of course, Alissa [White-Gluz, vocals] is still writing lyrics. And I’ve been writing with Jeff Loomis [guitar, ex-NEVERMORE] as well, our latest addition to the band. [I’m] very excited about that.”
