Arch Enemy is just one of those bands who I haven’t bothered to listen to, so can you recommend me a good album or should I just go for the debut.
BQ. Favourite Arch Enemy album
BQ2. Top 5 songs by Arch Enemy
thank you for all your answers.
They’re pretty good. Going for the debut ain’t a bad idea but it’s way different from what they’re doing right now. I highly suggest Burning Bridges and Wages Of Sin.
BA: Burning Bridges
BA2:
Fields Of Desolation
Let The Killing Begin
Angelclaw
The Immortal
Dead Bury Their Dead
Not one of my favorite bands but they are very good, and I have all of their albums except for Stigmata. They had a male vocalist for their first three albums, and they’ve had a female vocalist ever since, who is highly regarded as one of the best growling female vocalists. So keep that in mind if you get their debut. Also their first four albums(Black Earth, Stigmata, Burning Bridges, Wages of Sin) have an overall heavier sound than their more recent albums(Anthems of Rebellion, Doomsday Machine, Rise of the Tyrant) which have a more melodic sound to them. So depending on just how melodic you prefer your Death Metal, that should be a deciding factor in choosing any of their albums.
For their heavier stuff I recommend Burning Bridges.
For their more melodic stuff I recommend Anthems of Rebellion.
BA: Burning Bridges
BA2: This is hard to decide buy I would probably go with these, although it probably changes day to day.

They also recently released a rerecording of some songs from their first three albums entitled “Root of All Evil”. Everything has been rerecorded including the vocals with Angel Gossow singing them this time around, as well as soom new takes on the solos. I can’t decide if I like these new versions better, or the orginals, probably varies from song to song, but this might be a good starting point for you if you don’t want to get all of their albums.
Arch Enemy are a fairly good death metal band.
Best album would be ‘Doomsday Machine’ easily for me.
Best songs
1. My apocalypse.
2. Dead eyes see no future
3. Nemesis
4. Instinct
5. Carry the cross.
If you are interested in female vocalists, try ‘the agonist’.
I am personally a really big fan of Arch Enemy, I think they’re a really good band. Especially Mike Amott who is one of my favorite guitarists.
BQ: “Doomsday Machine”
BQ2:
1. “We Will Rise”
2. “My Apocalypse”
3. “Revolution Begins”
4. “Burning Angel”
5. “Nemesis”
Arch Enemy are plain awsome! The growl the singer does is awsome! Doomsday Machine is a great album also the top 5 song from arch enemy in my opinion are
1. Revolution Begins
2. Blood On Your Hands
3. I am Legend/Out for Blood
4. Nemesis
5. Taking Back My Soul
