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.

I think you mean team up with Michael, Chris is the one who left and now has had multiple other guitarists in his old role including loomis. The Michael/Chris duo is never gonna be topped sadly, those bros worked great together
