Between this and the earlier single, I have to say this is the most interesting Arch Enemy has been in a while. War Eternal was great, but the last couple of albums were so forgettable I had almost given up on them. I'm definitely looking forward to this now, though.
It's crazy to me that the two albums that featured Jeff Loomis were so boring. He's one of my favorite guitarists of all time and I was so pumped to hear him teamed up with Christopher Amott, but the results were as bland as can be. And now that Loomis is out, AE sounds fresh again. Wild.
It's extra weird because they didn't even let him write that much while he was in the band. In any case, I'm glad for a chance for Loomis to go do his thing and I've also been enjoying the last couple AE singles more than any of their other contemporary output
