ARCH ENEMY vocalist Angela Gossow has checked in with her first blog from the ongoing Tyrants Of Evil North American tour. An excerpt is available below.

"Hello everybody,

This is Angela from Arch Enemy checking in from the Tyrants Of Evil US Tour. We joined forces with EXODUS, ARSIS and MUTINY WITHIN and are currently devastating the Northern part of America with our extreme brand of METAL?

The show at the TLA in Philadelphia was a lot better and we all felt confident to face the 1700 cap. crowd at the Nokia Theatre in NYC the next day and rock 'em hard.

All bands get thrown out of the tour bus at 11am in the morning (middle of the night, so to speak) and we all crawl into the venue and to the coffee machine..."
