5.0 out of 5 stars HEAVY METAL AT IT'S BEST! 26 April 2002
By ldoylelynn@aol.com
Format:Audio CD
This is one of my favourite cd's, i've had it about three weeks and i must have lisened to it about eighteen times, and i'm still not sick of hearing it.The guitaring is raw, intricate and heavy, straight from the depths of hell, the FEMALE singer put most men to shame.This is what heavy metal is all about.If you love classic metal(ie. metallica, slayer)with a little more darkness you should love this cd. You won't regret buying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars YOU'LD NEVER KNOW IT WAS A WOMAN! 18 Mar 2002
By Malibu
Format:Audio CD
So it's album number 4 and what a killer! Vocalist Johan Liva is gone and in his place is Angela Gossow, the surprise is though that far from cooing softly into the mic, Angela spews forth a stream of vitriolic gurgle previously unheard from a female throat (except maybe from Linda Blair!)...and jolly splendid it is too!
The new album is admittedly a tad more polished than before, but it's still Arch Enemy. It's more down to the production and the slightly less brutal guitar sound I think. The video track 'Ravenous' (which is included as a bonus for those of you with PC's) is a real cracker and even tips a nod to Mike Ammott's former band Carcass just after the solo. Apparently Arch Enemy are absolutely massive in Japan and maybe this is were the influence to become more METAL and less DEATH METAL has come from.

The album also comes with a bonus disc of covers etc, along with some amusing notes in the booklet from Mr Ammott. So if you like Judas Priest, Europe (!) and Iron Maiden then you might like to hear their material brutalized by Arch Enemy?

5.0 out of 5 stars Metal Heaven 7 July 2002
By "steven_reid69"
Format:Audio CD
I love metal. From 'Fear Factory', 'Slayer' and 'Sepultura' to 'System Of A Down', 'American Head Charge', Decapitated' and 'Killswitch Engage'. The only problem I have with the newer bands is the lack of guitar solos. The new 'Killswitch Engage' album is amazing, but it would be even better if it had lead guitar solos. 'Arch Enemy' on the other hand have got solos in spades. Great heavy riffs, amazing drums and really great guitar solos. The vocals are amazing, you would never know it's a woman. Never. Right from the start, with 'Enemy Within', the music is relentless. Fast, crushing riffs, heavy drums and amazing solo's, It does not get much better than this. More melodic sections interlink mega heavy parts, and the end result is something really special. The second disk has older stuff from the digipak versions of earlier albums, and is a good compliment. A couple of videos rounds off one off the best metal albums in years. If you love metal, then I really recommend you get this as soon as possible. You will not regret it. Top class.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hmm. Yeah,this is really good: fun melodic Goteborg death.
This was easily one of the best records to come out in what? 2002? Angela's Vocals were the best female death growls I'd heard by then, and the guitars are fabulous. Read more
