Arch Enemy "Blood Dynasty" - Special Edition CD (All Accounts) - 6p sleevepac (glossy finishing), 16p booklet, CD (11 tracks), marketing sticker.

Arch Enemy have announced their 12th studio album, Blood Dynasty, set for release via Century Media Records. The album news comes after the veteran metal band released the surprise single “Dream Stealer” at the end of July. That tune will be one of 11 tracks on Blood Dynasty.

Founding Arch Enemy guitarist Michael Amott stated, “This new album pushes the boundaries of what we’ve done before — it’s everything you’ve come to expect from this band, and then some! We can’t wait for you to hear it and feel the energy we’ve poured into every track. Welcome to the Blood Dynasty!”

Along with Amott, the band is rounded out by singer Alissa White-Gluz, bassist Sharlee D’Angelo, drummer Daniel Erlandsson, and new guitarist Joey Concepcion (who took over the spot vacated by Jeff Loomis in 2023).

Blood Dynasty serves as the follow-up to 2022’s Deceivers, which yielded the standout track “Handshake with Hell.” That tune topped Heavy Consequence‘s list of the best metal and hard rock songs of 2022.
