Départ et remplaçant (temporaire) d'Arch Enemy

Alors que Arch Enemy est en pleine tournée tournée nord-américaine avec Kreator le groupe vient d'annoncer le départ de leur guitariste Nick Cordle (ex-Arsis). Pour le reste de la tournée le poste sera assuré par Christopher Amott.

En revanche pour ce qui est de la partie européenne avec Sodom, Vader, Hell, Drone et Slamdown. La seconde guitare sera assurée par  Jeff Loomis (ex-Nevermore, Conquering Dystopia). Il devrait rempiler aussi sur les dates en 2015. 

Voici le communiqué de l’intéressé :

”I'm very excited to be playing with Arch Enemy. Michael Amott and I have stayed in contact over the years since we toured together when I was playing in Nevermore. Not only do I admire his guitar playing and songwriting, but I also consider him a close friend. To be able to share the stage with Michael, Sharlee, Daniel and Alissa is something I'm really looking forward to. 2015 is going to be a great year... See you all on tour!”


After a great year of intensive touring in support of their critically acclaimed album, War Eternal, Arch Enemy are parting ways with guitarist Nick Cordle who states: "With War Eternal I believe we wrote an album together which will stand the test of time, and I wish them well for the future."


USA fans will be able to catch a special reunion as Christopher Amott (the brother of ARCH ENEMY founder/bandleader Michael Amott) has joined the band for the remainder of their American headlining tour.


Michael Amott (guitars) comments: ”We all wish Nick the very best in his new endeavors and we are sure that you will hear much more from him. We're also super grateful to my brother Christopher for stepping in to finish the current American tour!”

”The prospect of working with Jeff Loomis moving forward is truly awesome! Jeff Loomis is one of the best guitar players in the metal world in my opinion, as well as being a long time friend. I look forward to tearing it up on stages around the world together as we continue on the War Eternal' touring cycle throughout all next year and beyond!"
