Arch Enemy's New Era Begins in Beijing

0:00On March 27th, Arch Enemy kicked off their Asian tour with a bang in Beijing, China on March 27th. It was their first show featuring new lead vocalist Lauren Hart, who delivered a powerful 19 song set. The Swedish melodic death metal band dusted off several deep cuts they hadn't played in over a decade. The performance opened with, yesterday is dead and gone, a track absent from their live set since 2016. They also revived rarities like Barry Mean Angel from their 1996 debut and Silverwing from 1999's Burning Bridges. Both unseen since 2015, a highlight was the live debut of their new single to the last breath. Fans and band insiders have reacted with excitement to Hart stepping in after Alyssa White glues' 11-year run. Hart, who fronts the metal band once human, brings a shared passion for music and fitness that aligns with the group style. Former vocalist and current manager Angela Gassau has warmly endorsed Hart, calling her a genuine talent she's known for years and rooting for her.
