Arch Enemy release new single, “Handshake With Hell”

Last month, Swedish melodeath legends Arch Enemy announced their 11th studio album, “Deceivers”, following the release of singles “Deceiver, Deceiver” and “House of Mirrors”. Now, the band have dropped the opening track of the record, “Handshake With Hell”, which you can hear below:

When Michael and Daniel showed me the instrumental they had cooked up, I got a ton of vocal ideas to complete the song. “Handshake with Hell” has a classic heavy metal feel, and it felt like the right time to unleash some classic heavy metal vocals to match. I think the result is really interesting and catchy!Alissa White-Gluz

“Deceivers” drops July 29th via Century Media, and can be pre-saved.
