The metal legends are set to ignite stages across Europe on their new “BLOOD DYNASTY” headline tour in autumn/winter 2025. Joining them on their unrelenting metal crusade are the mighty AMORPHIS and ELUVEITIE as co-special guests, with the crushing force of GATECREEPER poised to blast open the gates of chaos. The U.K. leg lays waste to Wolverhampton, Manchester (on Halloween no less), and London.
ARCH ENEMY’s twelfth studio album, Blood Dynasty is out now via Century Media Records. The record features 11 new tracks full of the band’s signature powerful guitar riffs and guttural force.
