ARCH ENEMY's Live Apocalypse DVD will be released in Europe on July 24th, and on August 8th in North America, via Century Media.

Hype for the release reads: The Live Apocalypse 2DVD is a must have for any Arch Enemy fan as it's chock-full of phenomenal live footage featuring guitarist Chris Amott's last performance with the band, in-depth interviews and promotional video clips.

Mike Amott (guitars) describes his thoughts on the upcoming DVD release: "The Live Apocalypse DVD is now finally complete. This shaped up to be an ultra cool 2-disc affair, and I honestly couldn't be happier with it. The main show is from The Forum in London, UK (December '04), and we also have footage from Manchester, UK in December '05 (there'll be 3 songs included from that). There are tons of extras and special features, as there should be. The artwork was done by Niklas Sundin of Cabin Fever Media, and Andy Sneap's audio mix (5.1 and stereo) is so heavy, it almost blew my speakers out! He really captured the live feel and power of the show; it's like you are right there in the audience. Brilliant! This DVD crushes some of my favourite metal DVDs from my own collection - and I have a sick collection."

In the summer of 2005, the highly anticipated Doomsday Machine, also mixed by Sneap (Killswitch Engage, Nevermore, Opeth), debuted at #87 on the Billboard US Top 200 chart and also attained entries in national charts of Germany, UK, Sweden, The Netherlands and Austria. The Doomsday Machine touring campaign kicked off with a high profile slot on Ozzfest 2005, where the band stunned thousands of people daily with their proficient musicianship and live intensity. The group quickly became one of the most talked about artists of the tour, as they continually outsold all of their peers each week. The buzz on Arch Enemy grew stronger after Ozzfest wrapped up, and the group made their much-anticipated return to the U.S. on a headlining tour with All That Remains that fall with new guitarist Fredrik Akesson in tow. In the spring of 2006, Arch Enemy embarked on a massive Jagermeister sponsored co-headlining bill with Chimaira, God Forbid and Hate Eternal, which was also their third U.S. run for the Doomsday Machine campaign. Of course, the band did not forget about their European fans and apart from performing at many European festivals, touring with Trivium as support in continental Europe and then returning to UK with Strapping Young Lad in tow.

Featuring the all-star lineup of Mike Amott (guitars), Chris Amott (guitars), Sharlee D'Angelo (bass) and Daniel Erlandsson (drums), the group first garnered praise with the metal milestones Black Earth (1997), Stigmata (1998) and Burning Bridges (1999). These albums were fueled by flawless dual guitar technical execution and a previously unheard of mixture of melody and aggression, which helped them quickly solidify their reputation as one of the genre's elite.

However, Arch Enemy really began to develop their true potential once vocalist Angela Gossow joined the fold on 2002's critically acclaimed Wages Of Sin album (produced by Fredrik Nordstr?m and mixed by Andy Sneap), marking the first time a band of this caliber and ferocity was fronted by a woman. The album was bathed in unending universal praise - from worldwide front-cover press in national magazines to daily newspapers - with Wages Of Sin proudly claiming stake in end-of-the-year Best Of... lists. Relentless touring activity followed seeing Arch Enemy perform at prolific European and American festivals as well as doing their own headlining tours in the US, Europe and Japan.

The band's 2003 effort, Anthems Of Rebellion, was immediately hailed as a metal masterpiece. It was their second offering with Angela, touted by Metal Edge as "one of the most promising talents in years". Press raves continued to pour in earning them staunch recognition all over the globe and high-profile U.S. tours with such acts as Slayer, Hatebreed, Cradle Of Filth and the legendary Iron Maiden.

While the band is currently confirmed to perform at such high profile European festivals as Wacken, Graspop, Download, Sweden Rock and many more this summer, now the time is right to unleash the ultimate DVD of their astonishing career so far with the over 3 hours running double disc set Live Apocalypse which delivers the furious, energetic onstage intensity of Arch Enemy as well as some exclusive looks behind the scenes in the best possible quality straight into your home cinema!
