Arch Enemy have released a new music video for their track “Illuminate The Path” from their latest album, “Blood Dynasty”. The video was directed by Patric Ullaeus, known for his long-running collaborations with various metal acts such as Lacuna Coil and Danko Jones.

Blood Dynasty“, the band’s twelfth studio album, was released in March 2025, through Century Media Records. The record also marked the debut of guitarist Joey Concepcion following the departure of longtime member Jeff Loomis in 2023.

Ahead of this video, the band had already unveiled several singles and visuals from “Blood Dynasty”, including “Paper Tiger,” “A Million Suns,” “Dream Stealer,” “Liars & Thieves,” and the album’s title track. The release of “Illuminate The Path” continues their push to showcase the record both visually and on stage throughout the year.

To support the album, Arch Enemy will embark on their European “Blood Dynasty” Tour in October and November 2025, with special guests Amorphis, Eluveitie, and Gatecreeper. The tour kicks off on October 10th in Stuttgart and concludes on November 15th in Düsseldorf, with stops across major cities such as London, Paris, Milan, Helsinki, and Stockholm.
