► Lyrics ◄
"War Eternal"
Friend or foe, there’s no way to know
In the battlefield of life it’s kill or be killed
So many times it’s a matter of degrees
From being up on your luck, to down on your knees
It’s a hellish inferno
This is war eternal
They try to change you, crush and break you
Try to tell you what to do
They love to have control of you
Back against the wall
In danger of losing it all
Search deep inside
Remember who you are
It’s times like these when lines are drawn
Which side of the fence are you standing on
There will come a day not so far away
When the hunter becomes the prey (and you will pay)
It’s a hellish inferno
This is war eternal
This is fucking war!

[@Brouillette96]

Why are people acting like Angela was kicked out of the band or something? She just didn't want to sing any more, so they got someone else, shes still managing them, and ffs she's married to Michael Amott. She left of her own free will, so they got someone else. Hell I think she personally picked Alissa, so I don't get why people are like "bring Angela back!" come on, did half of you even read their statement?

That's right Ángela is agree with the choice of Alissa and still she's managing Arch Enemy behind the scenes also she's Michael's wife!

[@lgmhorus]

I agree with you. Angela was already saying how this would be a different album than Khaos Legions, then she announces that she would leave with Alissa already as the new singer. The next day, The Agonist shown their new singer. The timing of everything was very precise, so I believe that this was on the works for a long time and they just made it public now. Honestly, this way is much better than suffering for months on the doubt of a new singer, whether the replacement will be good enough and stuff. This is how you show professionalism, people!

hmmm. I have followed AE and The Agonist since they both began. I like them both for different reasons. I liked AE for the guitar work, and The Agonist for the vocals. (don't get me wrong the guitar work is VERY good with them as well). I REALLY hope Arch Enemy lets Allissa use her range of vocal talents. She has so much more to offer than what this song presents. I will support, but I hope we haven't heard the last of Alissa's awesome vocal diversity and lyrical mastery.

[@JegolS]

Well put, I agree completely and was thinking the exact same thing. I'm a little worried, since like you, I liked them for different reasons. I like AE for what they do, and I liked the Agonist for what they did, but combining them... not necessarily a great idea in my mind.

[@briarios666]

I agree but Alissa new must of knowing what she got herself into when she went to arch enemy its there style of music. Yea OK give Alissa one or 2 vocal songs on an album instead of instrumentals maby as long as they don't change arch enemy's style all together then I'd say it be a good move :)

[@AssassinFrogg]

I agree, she's an incredible talented singer as well as screamer, but in The Agonist I felt the cleans were kinda out of place and almost just thrown in there to appeal to a wider audience. At least I found that the case in the latest Agonist album. It almost took you out of the heaviness which I'm not a fan of, but she's still an amazing singer nonetheless.

Never hated metal i just feel disgused about some bands, but this band feels like my soulmate and It's pretty weird but good

Me in high school: "I don't like music with screaming in it." Me at 33: Listens to music with just screaming in it.

[@mikeh6286]

It's an aquired taste. Wait a little longer and you'll notice that CLEANS start to bum you out. That's me now. Jinjer, nightwish, NO!

[@sledgehammer3989]

This thing about metal. When I was in my early teenage I hated metal and rock. Then I tolerated it while my friends listened to it. After a while it was ok. then I started to love it. Now I cant live without it.

[@yusufjunjua7775]

I think it's safe to say that this vocalist is the beyoncé of death metal.

[@amisickskins1997]

beyonce is overrated. she's honestly not that good in my opinion.Alissa is way beyond better than beyonce.

[@yusufjunjua7775]

+Ami sickskins ok fine. she's the katy perry of death metal.

[@amisickskins1997]

even katy perry doesn't do her vocals justice

[@piergiorgiocestra3833]

Katy Perry is even worse. All autotune and looks. I'm not a fan of Arch Enemy anyway so I don't mind if you used that as an insult or what...

[@yusufjunjua7775]

No I didn't use Katy Perry as an insult, thing is I don't that many good looking pop stars. lol

[@uncledaydays]

FUCING awesome, she is AMAZING! and i heard a super high scream, im looking forward to this darker version of our beloved agonist singer.

[@Yuri-tq4oc]

The guitar work is hella good

[@ThiagoSurian]

Alissa fits very well on Arch Enemy

[@alejandrofouzlebrero6657]

toda la razón, por algo eligieron a Alissa. Perdón por no traducir, tenia poco tiempo.

[@ThiagoSurian]

Sin problema. Yo hablo español también, soy desde Brasil, tengo muchos amigos de lengua española. Y estoy de acuerdo, elegiron una perfecta substitución.

[@alejandrofouzlebrero6657]

ajajjaja encantado de conocerte entonces

[@justarandompenguin]

OH MY FUCKING GOD. Better than i expected, my gosh, Alissa♥

[@jacksonreeves8838]

i listened to this during a fire drill at school the other day.

[@johnsean8491]

metal bands with a female singers are a match. it's a dynamic that should have been tried decades ago.

[@MichaelStephenLordReserei1987]

Well I just found out about the change. Let's just say I've been on hiatus from social networking and such. So when I caught up on Angela's facebook page--I had a freak out and "what the fuck? O.o" moment. Admittedly I'm never good with change, I'm trying to improve myself if that area. With that said, I do like this new vocalist, I love the track overall. I've been hearing Angela's vocals for the past 11 years or so (became a fan after hearing "We Will Rise"). I think I still need some time to adjust.

[@SevObzen]

Pretty much exactly how I feel dude.

[@JedzLigsay]

Turned out pretty well :)

[@SevObzen]

I just hope personally that she keeps her clean vocals as far away from Arch Enemy as possible.

[@LouGruff]

Regardless of who the lead singer is, ARCH ENEMY KICKS ASS. Hope the rest of the album is like this.

[@Zero-kz8dd]

i haven't listened to this band and i forgot how incredible Alissa's voice is

[@mikeh6286]

Getting better and better... New AE album coming out later this year.

Ok, you might talk about the live shows, but the new album is coming out really soon too.

[@AlessandroRodriguesPh]

She is beautiful and perfect sound.

[@Kontonymous]

Fuckin' nice growls! I didn't think I'd find a female vocalist that could match Otep's screams but here I am.

[@skittle1899]

I totally agree with just that.

[@christopheragent006]

Arch Enemy blows Otep out of the water lol!!!

[@Precisionmetalheadx]

Alissa is pretty damn powerful and before that Angela Gassow was badass in her own right.

[@azerix4168]

[@nextmyaccount]

check out the song Panophobia, back when she was in The Agonist. you're welcome :)

[@gitaroo88]

I love the instrumentals and her vocal grunts, she is a metal queen.

[@michaelstarr9168]

I love her. She is the sexiest and most talented of all female metal vocalists. Alyssa eternal!!!!!!

[@JOKEURFOKEUR]

METAL !! The only genre which saying that a female vocalist sounds like a man is a compliment.

[@badass6300]

Except she doesn't sound like a man...

[@norielsylvire4097]

Kenny Moyer It shouldn't. Plus, she doesnt sound like a man, she sounds like a woman growling.

Angela made the right choice in choosing Alissa.

Underappreciated guitarist

[@iviaverick52]

Alissa is a pretty great vocalist. Loved her in The Agonist. Shame she doesn't sing in this song though, her clean voice is very good.

[@Night-rage]

Including cleans would drastically change Arch Enemy's style so I'm guessing she is only going to growl, but it would be a shame because she does have a good voice

[@johndillinger1932]

If the Dillinger Escape Plan could make that change, any band can...Personally I prefer The Agonist over this....

[@reboot2020]

they'd be idiots not to include her clean voice somewhere

[@Bryan19905]

If! I also love the vocalist alissa! is the best! even listen to their music when I was in "the agonist"

[@MeikSpecht]

Michel van der Molen i agree with you that she has a nice singing voice. but i don't like arch enemy for the clean singing. i liked them because they were fucking brutal. i hope they don't change their style to match that of the agonist. that change would make the whole singer-change needless.

There's no point in how some people think that only newly made music should be listened to, it doesn't make any sense. I'm over 40 and still discovering hidden gems from the 80's and 90's.

[@austindolan3142]

@@Ziggurath76 I agree but at the same time, even with all of the hidden gems, new music reflects the society and culture of today more so than older music in many cases.
