ARCH ENEMY レコード& CD

Review: Originally released in Japan in 2001 but taking a further year before landing in US and European territories, the fourth full-length from Swedish melodic death metal giants Arch Enemy marked their first creative endeavour with longtime and most notable vocalist Angela Gossow, following the departure of founding frontman Johan Liiva. Furthering the vision of 1999's Burning Bridges with a balanced dichotomy between brutal riffage and complexly layered melodious passages, elevated by Gossow's shrieking range; Wages Of Sin is often regarded as the devastating arrival of the Arch Enemy most know and adore so deeply.
