[@thebulletproofpoet1744]

It's amazing what happens when you put the right vocalist with the right musicians. It proves magic is real. There's no other way to describe it.

[@Army_Rob]

Don't get me wrong my preference in AE is Alissa, but that being said Angela was a freaking beast. It was her with Dead Eyes and Nemesis that first hooked me.

[@NickN56]

@@Army_Rob the sound wasn't goof at all. It's not always about who screams more. Angels was more of a blackened death metal / black metal vocalist. Remember that AE is melodic death metal not a death metal band like Cannibal Corpse. Angela was good indeed but Alissa is way way more verastile and suitable for tbe band. I never heard angela using clean vocals (maybe I run past a song idk). The sound, video quality, voice and versatility of the new Arch Enemy is unmatched. I know a lot of you live in the past but people evolve and Alissa is clearly a better evolution. I cannot image angela on this song she won't fit the sound. If you want to hear screams go listen to Cannibal Corpse or stick with the old stuff

[@Cj-pg4qe]

I think the Agonist was awesome with Alissa.

[@Sayuku_P]

@@NickN56 Tbf present Arch Enemy is jsut a dumbed-down The Agonist, she does the screams and cleans, but so did The Agonist, and she was much more creative and versatile in her vocals with them, also, you're saying Angela don't fit the band, but so does Alissa, AE is supposed to be a MELODIC band, the melodies are supposed to be made by the guitars, hence no need to have cleans, hence why Angela was a better fit, nowadays, AE is more of a mainstream The Agonist than the true, anarchist AE it once was

[@user-sn4ii9dj5v]

What can you say? Arch Enemy are just incredible.

[@aaronschimmel2950]

New album was their best yet! A couple of the members are friends of our band. Great people

[@kaygeehimself9027]

The best growl voice ever in this universe. Yes really.

[@AHVENAN]

I recently got to see Arch Enemy live for the first time after beeing a huge fan of them and especially Alissa ever since she first joined the band back in 2014, it was almost like a religious experience, the show was ABSOLUTELY F*ING KICKASS! And Alissa was, and I dont know how this is even possible, even more drop dead gorgeous in person!

[@adnanshaker3018]

Great song from a great band 🤘🏻

[@xerezjg52]

To me Alissa is the perfect front person for any metal band but I so love💓💓 that Arch Enemy has her! she works so well with the band, that flowing blue hair and so much kick ass energy in such a small woman! Her interaction with the audience is epic!!!

[@valksyvalksington6155]

Not going to lie - the "Jesus fucking Christ" made me laugh out loud! The whole Wacken set was free to stream live - it will never be the same as *being* there but the energy was amazing! Alissa is such a charismatic front - the crowd was told it was being filmed and everyone seemed to go hard! So much fun!

[@TimoArula]

That Song and that whole Album ( "Deceivers" ) Kicks soooo much Ass 🤘❤‍🔥🤘!!!!! I am a damn Proud Album Owner 🤩.

[@oliverdecker249]

i have been there,it was really great and a special moment when she anounced that their new video is recorded right now there

[@Toutvids]

They were one the best concerts I've seen.

[@Shinobito1]

I had the pleasure to see Arch Enemy live for the very first time, just a month and a half ago. Simply amazing, so much energy, so much adrenaline, great experience.

[@reggiecanfield4294]

Let's just be honest,there is no one like Alissa or Tatiana! These two lovely ladies are on their fucking A-game! Huge respect for Alissa,she brought new life to Arch Enemy and really competed the band like no one else ever could have. Her voice is unmistakable. Love ur vids Aileen! Big love...

[@maxschmidt9461]

Their both unique, but Angela is 1000% up there with them and a few others as well

[@azavape900]

Everytime i watch this video i get goosebumbs all over me, it´s incredible

[@jamesoshiro3181]

Another sick track from the metal goddess

[@NickyHC]

I've a big crush on Alissa White-Gluz.

[@fredriknilsson6042]

And i have a crush on Aileen Senpai 😉

[@firepheonix2530]

All of us do

[@loadedcouchpotato6567]

I merely liked Arch Enemy in the beginning, but the last three albums have made me love Arch Enemy. I can appreciate how much more power metal they've put into their songs and they sound fantastic.

[@dalejohnson2047]

Jeff loomis ( blond hair) on guitar is one of my favorite guitarist he was in Nevermore,and mike amott ( black hair) formed this band after he left carcass both beasts on tge guitar

[@zhik1945]

💙🎶🎧A hot reaction is coming🔥💙🎶

[@ambience09]

You should also check out the following, if you like Arch Enemy ;) Insomnium - While we sleep Insomnium - Valediction

[@theopinson3851]

Alissa’s vocals on the new record are next level.

[@f8at]

Angela Gossow recommended Alissa as her replacement in the band

[@bobheaton498]

That is badass....she commands the stage!!

[@f8at]

Michael Amot the founding member of Arch Enemy was added in the early 90s to Carcass. He gave a new musical approach to the band. Once Carcass took a break from the mid 90s, Amot formed Arch Enemy with a male singer originally

[@hellriser4640]

The performance of them at wacken was really amazing and u were able to see their fun at stage. It motivates the crowd as well :) and its really nice to see all the woman coming to metal as singer and player in the band. When I started listening to metal I only know guano apes with a female singer, now we have so many good bands with a female singer that’s a really good change and bring new vibes to metal. Adrienne Cowan did an amazing performance as well in the announcement for next year 🤘 a and great reaction ;)

[@Samsquantch82]

I totally forgot about Guano Apes, damn. I first heard Sandra on Path Vol 2 by Apocalyptica.

[@Jezziha]

If i were literally any other metal band i'd sacrifice my life a milion times to have Alissa in my band as lead vocalist :""))aa

[@subjekt221]

absolutely. I love women in metal as far as singers. Tatiana Shmaluk , Alexis Brown, Dorothy Martin, Maria Brink, ect. ect.

[@pielichiewicz]

3:55 ekhm, perfect relax (68 bpm) COOOOOL!!!!! I'm impressed.

[@neala_alean]

I was in that circle pit :) 'twas an amazing experience

[@stephen9302]

Nice to hear ACTUAL MUSIC nowadays--- FUCKING AWESOME SONG!!!!!!!!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@maxschmidt9461]

It's actually impressive Alissa is able to wear those outfits, still breath and not be soaked through from sweat, I've seen them twice on their last tour, I had to take my shirt off and was still sweatin', especially when the flame throwers go off.. And yeah, the way she acts on stage is pretty awesome, fully relaxed, smilin', gettin' the audience involved, doin' tricks with the microphone and the mic stand... But the entire band is off the charts, they are all masters, Alissa draws the most focus and it's deserved, but Michael, Jeff, Daniel and Sharlee all deserve just as much credit, especially Michael who built the band and kept it goin' for 27 years

[@mikeh6286]

Kicking ass is the right expression, agreed.🤘

[@mikeyb2932]

In case you wish to know. Heilung is touring in the USA right now. There is a link in their Anoana video. You can also search for anplifiedhistorytour.

[@crazy.scorpio]

Respect for trying new things! Cant wait to hear your growls!!

[@robertjonsson797]

Fantastic song!

[@katze6226]

Also a woman in Metal with a beautiful voice - normal and screaming/shouting/low/dark (don't know the word for it) - is Melissa Bonny

[@FerL91048]

@AileenSenpai Alissa has knowledge in photography, and per her vocals, she is always a perfectionist. And a detail her hair dye is made of natural products

[@Tremere82]

Arch enemy is an amazing musical group. Have you looked into Otep at all? You say your big in poetry. Otep mixes poetry in their songs and has a female vocalist as well. Otep also has release a book with her poetry in it that is amazing.

[@MikaTarkela]

I was going to write about how it makes me sad to see that Jeff Loomis doesn't get any solos but at least he got a short solo on this song! He has always had so much potential and it would be sad to see it go to waste.

[@f8at]

Some recommendations Celtic Frost - Aim Alohim Obituary - Intoxicated Judas Priest - Painkiller Septicflesh - The Vampire from Nazareth Overkill - Ironbound Danzig - It's coming down Jane's Addiction - Stop Anthrax - The Devil you know Black Country Communion - Songs of Yesterday

[@captainkh28thewickedtwiste12]

Great video AS. And arch Enemy is one of my favorite metal bands. Have a beautiful day.✌🏻😎🤘🏻🤟🏻🍒❤️.

[@Bassta]

Saw them live as the last show in Alcatraz Festival Belgium a few weeks ago, Arch Enemy was the band that introduced me to harsher metal and i am a Jeff Loomis lover too, can confirm that seeing them on stage was very moving, they're awesome !

[@eric-.]

Aileen, I would like to see your reaction to the band "In This Moment", particularly the songs "Roots" and "Gun Show". I bet you will really like them. With the band In This Moment, I can hear influences of Pantera, Manson, Nine Inch Nails and a little Arch Enemy.

[@CallMeJabber]

If you like other female singers I would suggest: Ignea-alga, incurable disease, nomads luck Vintersea-illuminated, the holy procession, crack of light, at the gloaming void Ad Infinitum/Melissa Bonny-marching on versaille, i am the storm, unstoppable Eleine - we are legion

[@TheNetsrac]

Great reaction to a an amazing tune, thank you

[@leeroygibbs2720]

Love her hair. It’s the same, yet different every tour

[@brothernemiel6465]

That evening at Wacken was magical! In my good dreams I am still there jumping, moshing, singing along, circling the pit having a good time with friends...and in my bad dreams I am still there carrying all those crowdsurfers and once they reach the front the same people I just carried pop up right behind me all over again until the end of days

[@shmiichael]

hope you're having a good time aileen ❤️

[@scottst.hilaire5828]

very rockin song 🤘 I've been impressed with this group for a couple years now.

[@joshuas193]

I love Arch Enemy. I never heard them before Alissa joined, so maybe I'm biased, but I don't know why she gets so much hate from the Angela fans.

[@Xezeon]

iam in exactly the same boat :P

[@gosiaszczesniak1867]

Same

[@malsol7661]

Tbh i've been a fan since arch enemy had a male singer and i still don't get it. They still make awesome songs with each singer. Tbh angela took a bit at first for some to get used to too. Alissa has a god tier song in the recent game metal hellsinger too worth checking out.

[@bararobberbaron859]

Some people don't like change, and whining is a loud activity, even if it's a minority doing it.

[@Raynor696]

welcome too the modern World of the Internet where there will be always some idiots who complain and cry like the little snowflakes they are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@lucian-ionelmarcu3680]

all the band did an amasing run!:P

[@peterkarargiris4110]

Fan-fucking-tastic ! Alyssa is a goddess ! ...and the boys aint' half bad either. Great reaction Aileen.

[@SamiPaju]

Arch Enemy is killing it with their new album so far! Each song is epic. And the riffs they’re pulling off are just fantastic. If you’re interested in awesome female metal vocalist, I really recommend you look into Seven Spires and what Adrienne Cowan is doing. Her scale is just insane from clean to guttural but there’s also a lot of nuance that she’s pulling off.

[@jasonluther3567]

I do agree with you on the synergy. It's what makes me a fan I love how much fun they have. You can see it on their faces. A lot of bands just looks so serious. They play great, aggressive, and driving music. Yet end of the day they are ppl just having fun doing what they love. Passion is definitely there. I admire a band that can smile and have fun doing this. I saw em live in San Antonio during north American siege tour. I was totally mind fucked. I about cried during nemesis bc of the passion and love of music they have.

[@lantzkeefer6]

This new song really goes hard, reminds me of their older music before Allisa.

[@skibbe1978]

Hey there😊 Just recently found ur channel and fell in love with it immediatelly. And u aswell❤. Just love ur reactions. U r so natural and such an eye candy. xoxo kimmo from finland

Headed there soon to tailgate. Been waiting nearly 3 years since I got the tickets (Covid postponed x 2). Who is jealous? Hehehe

[@VladMetal26]

By far the best song on the album! Just EPIC!

[@emilioaymat5651]

I totally agree with your review in about their great ability to sync but because thats one of the things that make` em stand out, but someday you should check out one of their videos with their old singer, Angela Gossow that also had the brother of the present guitarist b4 the blond you see on this video. The old singer got married, but is Arch Enemy`s booking manager.

[@ChrisCarsAutowelt]

you want to see a big circle pit? Check out Heaven Shall Burn, Voice of the Voiceless at Wacken 2009, can totally recommend

[@giovanniperez6146]

Should definitely check out * fleshgod apocalypse * and * septicflesh * 🤘🤘

[@alexthorpe6583]

The new album is full of killer songs. I can't say this is one of my favorites.. but I can say that I'm very impressed with how gorgeous they made Wacken look, after seeing it in countless music videos already. The fading light of day, the glow of the stage lights.. it's a magical twilight moment.

[@blakeblack8681]

I got a band you might like to listen to called The Amity Affliction during Australian band and their music runs really deep and I think you would really appreciate it and like it

[@Mattis_FH]

She's fuckin' fantastic. 🫀Hair🫀 her voice, her stage presence. Everything is fuckin' awesome. Loved her in The Agonist and love her in Arch Enemy. I do miss her cleans though, she used them more in The Agonist.

[@vagabond142]

4:53 There is a reason that going to a metal festival in Europe is on my bucket list. EDIT: I was wrong in my initial assessment, this is at Wacken Open Air. Specifically, they are on the "Faster" stage, one of the three main performance stages at the festival, as can be seen in some of the super wide (possibly even using drones) shots. I think, although I fully admit that i might be wrong, that the festival you went "Jesus Fucking Christ" to is Rock Am Ring at the Nurburgring race track in Germany, which has seen over 150,000 people attending each year for about the past decade. There is also Rock Im Park (which happens at the same time) in Nuremberg, a nearby town, and everyone knows about Wacken Open Air (Nightwish's 2013 perfect headlining concert that every reactor has seen at least one song from). But from Finland and Sweden down to Italy and Spain, there are GIGANTIC metal festivals all over Europe, and so one day, when I can actually a) grab a ticket and b) afford to fly over there from Canada, I will go to one of them :D

[@justitia257]

[@jamalsampson9389]
