"Handshake with Hell" is Grammy level perfection. Right off...the musicians in Arch Enemy are some of the best anywhere...Daniel is a beast with those double kicks, Sharlee learned how to drop the beat heavy in his days with Mercyful Fate, and Mike and Jeff are two of the greatest guitarists on the map. And then there's the Queen Beast Alyssa who is the most drop dead gorgeous goddess to grace any stage on Earth, is vegan, an animal rights activist, and has proven herself as one of the most talented and versatile vocalists in metal who can not only bellow like a beast but also reveals clean vocals that shame even the worlds most celebrated pop divas. Together...they have master crafted what I have coined the "Song of Power". Also major props to the video production...it follows every beat perfectly...and the fire looked HOT!

Arch Enemy has been around since 1995. Swedish melodic Death Metal band from swedens second largest city Gothenbourg (Göteborg). Band was started by the dark haired lead guitarrist Michael Amott. The band started at a time when the bands in Gothenbourg somehow worked out a sound called ”the Gothenbourgh sound” and bands such as ”At The Gates, In Flames and even power metallband Hammerfall brouhht it to the world. Alissa White-Gluz is the lead singer now. She is a Canadian vocal genious from Montreal. Before her Arch Enemy had Angela Gossow as a front figure. Angela being an inspiration to many young women and now actually being the babds manager after becoming a mother. Angela has also trained Alissas harsh vocal techniques to be where they are in this, the latest, video. Alissa did harsh before but has a noticeably stronger metal vocal after a few years with AE. You got alot to see and hear. Note that clean vocals, so far, has been rarely appearing in AE songs histurically. Stay Metal! 🤘😎🤘

But after watching a documentary on swedish public access tv about swedish metal from 80-today, i realized there was a ton of bands i just had ignored coz they were labelled as deathmetal. So now im a fan of ARch enemy, Inflames, meshuggah, and even Clawfinger wich first i heard was a rap band, wich isnt even true, yes he is rapping but the music is metal.
