ARCH ENEMY - Will To Power (8 septembre)

Ce topic a autant de succès que celui du prochain Lp de Origin

Si, je suis impatient! Jeff Loomis FTW!

C'est parce que la sortie est encore lointaine et pour l'instant on a très peu d'infos ! Enfin je pense...

Moi aussi j'attends cet album. Même si Loomis ne compose que des solis, ça pourrait valoir le détour

On a la pochette !

Teaser très surprenant, carrément punk !




Apparemment c'est une reprise de ça:

Et c'est pas un teaser, c'est le morceau entier !

Enfin un vrai titre:

The World Is Yours


Pas mal, ça devrait pas mal donner en live!

Ouaip ! Donc encore une fois c'est du Arch Enemy classique mais du bon ! La tendance moins sombre que l'album précédent semble se confirmer, la petite mélodie guillerette du refrain va dans ce sens je trouve. Et moi qui avait peur qu'Alissa ose le chant clair, pour l'instant on s'en sort bien avec simplement ce passage parlé/murmuré.
A voir si ce morceau est représentatif de l'album ou si c'est juste le morceau pour rassurer les fans.

Ah, et les solos sont cools ! Jeff Loomis rules, et Michael Amott aussi !

Pas mal les premières parties !

Yeah!

Amott (de beurre) explique pourquoi Loomis n'a pas composé sur le nouvel album, et révèle le nom d'un guest:

Asked if ARCH ENEMY's lead guitarist of the last three years, Jeff Loomis (formerly of NEVERMORE), has contributed to the songwriting process for the band's new album, "Will To Power", Amott said: "No. I mean, he's a strong songwriter, but not in the style of ARCH ENEMY, I feel. He's always writing and recording with his own stuff. He has a project called CONQUERING DYSTOPIA, he has his solo stuff, [and] he obviously wrote most of the NEVERMORE stuff. I've always respected him, and continue to respect him, as a guitar player — he's amazing and an amazing human being; he fits in perfectly. [There's] a great chemistry [between us]. But, you know, I've always written most of the music, so it's difficult to… I don't really wanna change the sound of the band too much. The band sort of started around my songwriting and my ideas, and those continue to be the most dominant ones, I guess. But, you know, who knows [what can happen] in the future?"

Amott also spoke about how Loomis's addition to ARCH ENEMY has changed the sound of the band. He said: "Well, [Jeff is] playing some lead guitar on the album, and his style is very different to our previous guitar players — my brother [Christopher Amott] or whoever else was playing with us. But we have very constrasting styles, which is great. And he can play a lot of stuff on the guitar that I can't play, and I can play stuff that he can't play, so we just have that great… But when we lock together in the harmonies an the motifs, I think it's very strong. He's got a lot of classic metal as well inside of him. I think he's just been working in a different field for a very long time, he's not really… But he started off, obviously, with the same kind of roots that… We have a lot of common ground."

During the same chat, Amott revealed that "Will To Power" will feature a guest appearance "a good friend of ours, Jens Johansson, who now plays in Ritchie Blackmore's RAINBOW, and he's obviously played with Yngwie Malmsteen in the '80s and STRATOVARIUS he continues to play with." Amott said: "He's a great addition. He's actually a fan of ARCH ENEMY. I met him in a hotel bar in Tokyo. We started talking, and I said, 'I'm in this band ARCH ENEMY.' And he stopped [and said], 'That's one of my favorite bands.' I was, like, 'Really? Okay. Great. You're playing on our next album. How much money do you want to play on our album?' And he said, 'How much do I have to pay you to play on your album?' He really wanted to do it. So, a year later, I sent him a song. I said, 'Can you come up with something for this?' And he did. So that was great. He's on two songs, I think. He plays some great, very classical-inspired stuff on 'Dreams Of Retribution' with the harpsichord. It's got that real almost neoclassical feel. It's great. It's a fun addition to the band."

Nouveau clip, le mid-tempo "à la We will Rise" de l'album ?

En moins ultime, je trouve, quand même!

Grande nouveauté sur l'album : une ballade, qui sera en plus chantée normalement, sans braillou.

Pingouin a écrit:Grande nouveauté sur l'album : une ballade, qui sera en plus chantée normalement, sans braillou.

Ca me déçoit un peu aussi qu'ils prennent cette direction (une instrumentale aurait fait l'affaire) mais avec Alissa qui est capable de chanter ça m'aurait assez peu étonné qu'ils ne s'en servent jamais.

Et sinon, le graouh sur une ballade je trouve que c'est assez ridicule en général (genre sur le dernier Mors Principium Est et pourtant j'aime beaucoup l'album, comme le groupe), alors tant qu'à en faire une, autant qu'elle soit totalement clean.

Ça va, les gars, ça se passe bien l'autopompe?

Eloignez les enfants ça fait peur

Elle est vraiment ressemblante, sa statue du musée Grévin.

Lara Flynn Boyle devrait se sentir moins seule...

Je découvre le groupe avec l'album War Eternal . très bien aimé que je l'ai écouté 2 fois de suite
