Arch Enemy

 


Arch Enemy is a melodic death metal band from Sweden (where all the best melo death comes from).  I first heard Dead Eyes See No Future off of Anthems of Rebellion and was blown away by Angela Gossow's vocals.  This was one of my earliest obsession bands.  I saw them twice in concert and even met them back stage once.

An important detail is their lead singers.  They started our with Johan Liiva who appeared on their first 3 albums.  Angela Gossow joined for the next 5 (IMO their best lineup) after Gossow moved into band management, they hired Alissa White-Gluz with whom they put out another 4 albums.  They're currently working on a new album with another new singer.

Here's the definite ranking.  I will be taking no questions 

Gossow>Liiva>White-Gluz

They even managed to have Jeff Loomis in the band for a bit, but completely squandered his talents

Albums I Own
Black Earth - Vinyl, CD
Stigmata - Vinyl
Doomsday Machine - CDx2 (I bought one at a show to get signed)

Albums I Want
Buring Bridges (I have no idea how I haven't bought a copy of this yet)
Khaos Legions
War Eternal
Will to Power (For completion purposes only)
Deceivers
