Be prepared for a fiery April. Arch Enemy is about to reissue the first two masterpieces of their history. Great classics of the late 90s, “Black Earth” and the follow-up “Stigmata” will be back on sale on 28 April 2023, via Century Media Records. The albums will be redistributed in CD and vinyl formats at the official Century Media shop.
Guitarist Michael Amott declares:
When I first got Arch Enemy together in 1995 and we recorded the first album “Black Earth” during 9 hectic days at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, I obviously never imagined the impact and trajectory that this band would have. All these years later I’m still very proud and happy with our first record and the follow-up “Stigmata”. Very cool to see them relaunched again on CD & lovely vinyl. Let the killing begin!
