It’s the news that metal fans across the UK have been waiting for, for some time now – metal titans ARCH ENEMY ARE COMING TO HEADLINE THE UK .. and they’re bringing Sabbat & Enslaved with them!
Singer Angela Gossow checked in from the road to say a few words to the UK fans ‘We strongly felt its time to visit the shores of The United Kingdom Of Heavy Metal again! We miss you, ladies and gentlemen!!! We only did the Bloodstock Festival in 2009. It was a fantastic gig and reminded us of why we love the Amott brothers’ homeland so much. Even better, we are bringing the UK cult thrashers Sabbat with us and the Norwegian Sons Of Darkness, Enslaved! We will cook up a devastating setlist for this run and won’t leave any prisoners behind ;-) Get ready for The Metal Hammer Meltdown attack!’
Arch Enemy have teamed up with Metal Hammer Magazine and Kilimanjaro for the inaugural Metal Hammer Meltdown tour.
Metal Hammer Magazine Editor Alexander Milas comments “It’s been far too long since these shores were blackened by the ball-hefting brutality of Arch Enemy, so imagine our surprise when we heard they were bringing none other than the classic thrash of the almighty Sabbat and the prog-heavy viking metal of Enslaved in tow. It’s an honour to hang our banner on what promise to be a truly neck-snapping series of dates. Mosh ahoy!”
