Review by Jeff
The good surprise of 2002, after a delay of two years [it was released in Japan two years earlier...] the new Arch Enemy has finally arrived in Europe. This new album introduces an important change with the departure of Johan Liiva, the first singer, and the arrival of Angela Gossow to replace him. The first time that I heard them, I immediately asked myself if that was really a girl who was singing and also what she could look like? And yes, to my surprise it was a girl really, and a pretty one... With this change, one could wonder whether or not Arch Enemy would lose intensity, for it is true that girls with a death metal voice are not legion in metal and therefore quite unknown... But on the contrary, Angela knew how to bring all her strength in her song and the new songs of Arch Enemy don't suffer from the comparison with the olds tracks.
This new CD is a total success on all points. The quality of the production is good, the tracks are simply excellent and the musicians are simply brilliant. The Amott brothers who play guitars are certainly among the best guitarists of today's metal scene. No problems with the bass guitar and the drums where Sharlee D'Angelo and Daniel Erlandsson give the best of themselves. Pure happiness...
With Wages Of Sin, Arch Enemy delivers to us one of the best albums of the year 2002 and proves us by the same opportunity that girls are not relegated to only sing in atmospheric and gothic Metal. Arch Enemy stands today among the leaders of the melodic death metal scene and we are waiting the following of this little masterpiece. Maybe you have a question? If this CD is so good, why a rating of nine and not ten? The answer is very simple I hope that I will be able to give a ten to their next album...published 26.08.2003 | Comments (22) |
