Arch Enemy

The queue to get in went past the building and continued past where me and my friend stood. When we got inside it was allready impossible to get a good view, so instead we got our merch and beers. There were queues inside for the restrooms, for the bar, for merch, for wardrobe, and it was hard to tell where which queeue began. Right where we got in and close to the merch table was a giant inflatable Baphy. When we were ready we tried both sides of the locale for the best available view and realised we couldn't see much past pillars and the walls of tall people. So while I can't speak about the visuals, was in no place for any personal interactions or souvenirs, and couldn't reach the pit. I definitely felt the energy of the first show in Sweden since Lauren joined, and it was f*****g amazing at a sold out intimate club venue. When the lights went out Motörhead - Ace Of Spades went on from tape and a good chunk of the 700 people crowd sang along. Then the band came out to Tear Down The Walls and immediately into Silent Wars and the crowd was loud even before Lauren had taken her first note. A few songs in there was technical error and the band walked off stage for a bit, the crowd kept the fumes up cheering and clapping and chanting, when AE came back there were loud cheers from the crowd, Lauren said something I couldn't make out, Michael addressed the technical error, someone in the crowds said "We love you guys anyway", then Lauren said something about the first song Michael ever wrote for Arch Enemy - Lauren and I simultaneously screamed Bury Me A F*****g Angel and it went hard as f**k! At some point during the set most of the 700 crowd chanted Lauren, Lauren, Lauren, Lauren between songs. There were minor differences in setlist from the first show of the tour and the Stockholm show and I don't recall the entire setlist and I'm not sure about the setlist order. But my personal highlights and there were plenty were: Tear Down The Walls Silent Wars Nemesis Ravenous No Gods, No Masters Under Black Flags We March Taking Back My Soul War Eternal Eagle Flies Alone To The Last Breath Blood Dynasty Shadows & Dust Dead Eyes See No Future We Will Rise The general atmosphere Sharing it with my friend Lauren Hart - she sounded even better live than I expected Michael's tasty as f**k solos Daniel's and Sharlee's tight rhytm section Joey's and Michael's twin guitar harmonies The band was hungry and the crowd was f*****g starving! This was in my opinion the best Alissa era Arch Enemy material ever sounded live.

Gatecreeper opened the party with great energy and a crisp vocal, but unfortunately the sound wasn't that good where I was standing. Amorphis is no longer Death metal enough to belong in this lineup, but there were a handful of fans who enjoyed them, Eluveitie played out of tune and had too much clutter on stage and way too much playback. Arche Enemy played super tight, however it seemed that Alicia was weak and had something with her voice, so there were several times she went backstage and the rest of the band had to do cool solos to cover her. But otherwise a super cool concert.

Archenemy a killer set killer! Huge parts of the crowd were singing along to Bark At The Moon and then when Set Flame To Night hit lets just say I'm glad I was wearing earplugs. Alissa dedicated No Gods, No Masters to someone close to the stage and far put to the side named Melker. She called him Metal Melker. Great energy and atmosphere, cool lightshow, and better sound then last time I saw them. Personal highlights: Ravenous Blood Dynasty War Eternal Illuninate The Path Sunset Over The Empire No Gods, No Masters Snow Bound Nemesis Setlist: Bark At The Moon (Ozzy from tape aporximately the first 90 seconds) Set Flame To The Night (from tape) Deceiver, Deceiver Ravenous Dream Stealer Blood Dynasty War Eternal My Apocalypse Illuminate The Path Liars & Thieves The Eagle Flies Alone First Day In Hell Saturnine (from tape) Sunset Over The Empire No Gods, No Masters (dedicated to Metal Melker) Avalanche Encore: Snow Bound Nemesis Fields Of Desolation (instrumental outro) Enter The Machine (from tape) Vox Stellarum (from tape)

I was the first time in the Gasometer. Its an impressive historical building with a great event hall. The location felt quite familiar after a couple of minutes, despite the fact, that the catering stands were not open when the VIP early access Fans entered the building. I can't understand, why the organisers didn't supply us at least with drinks at the main entry. I've been at the Munich show, three days earlier within the same Blood Dynasty lineup of bands. My impression was, that the shows were more fluent. All bands played better than i n Munich. The room heated up from the beginning at 17:30 during the three performances of the support. I was very positively surprised, that the security staff handed out free water at 20:45 for the fans in the front rows during the stage preparation for the main act Arch Enemy. I think i will return in the future as the complete presentation of the location was really good.

Awsome event. was looking to seem them live for almost a decade. So glad everything allgned to be that night in Jahrhuderthalle Frankfurt. Arch Enemy have again confirmed how on top they are. Powerfull show with agressive riffes, great rhytm section and then there is this incredible voice. I do not fully understand where this comes from, but its simly out of this world. The crowd was awsome, cheered, sung, danced, was there. Great hall, where one can get a good view from everywhere. Was gratefull to use my earplugs to protect my hearing, as every concert I visit gets louder. I enjoyed it very much. A pitty that tshirts size L were sold already 2 hours before the show started, still grabbed a hoody:) Also would like to share great apreciation ot all the metal heads cleary showing our love to this kind of music and all the tech to make things happen!!! Pure f.... metal >D

Was the best energy I have seen from them in a long time... Sadly that being said as I love Jeff, now he's doing his stuff he won't be gone from my playlist anytime soon. Now Joey, wow Joey's got it all down already. And kicking a*s up there. Wonder if you remember what/where/and if we got you back on time.. We need to do it again sometime.. oooooo and you never sent me the set list.. hahahahahahaha It was cool to say hi to the rest of the band as we went to find food

Long time arch enemy fan. Their old stuff is some of my all time favorite music. It was an honor to see Michael, Daniel & Sharlee, and the new guitarist did great. But i am not a fan of Alissa. She lacks the metal passion that Angela had. The energy isn't even close. She's a glam rocker. Maybe one day Angela will come out of retirement & bless the metal world with her amazing vocal talents again. I would travel far to see that. The opening bands were all great.

Great show, it was a blast to watch them live! About the venue, I was a bit disapointed that the upstairs seats where reserved and asigned to a ticket. Usually in most venues this is a place where we can sit when we need to relax our legs or knees, on a "first come first serve" form. We got lucky and a couple seats where not taken so we could sit there for the show . Overall Martyr was great too, as a local band it was cool to watch them live! The sound was pretty good, we could hear clearly each guitars and the vocals.

Had a good time! Was crazy to see Arch Enemy at such an intimate venue as the Pearl. Had a bit of an issue with the mix, I thought the drums were great, the bass sounded great, the lead guitar was obviously the most forward on the mix and sounded great, but I had trouble hearing the vocals on top of the overall mix, they often were just nestled within the lead guitar sound and not present enough. I could not make out any of the lyrics of the new album. The biggest issue though, was that I just couldn't hear the stage left guitar player, he was no where near present enough in the mix. So much of arch enemy's music has amazing guitar duets and solos back and forth, but I couldn't hear any of the 2nd guitar player. I thought he was being hazed by the engineer, who refused to give him his moments. I kept looking over at the engineer during the most egregious moments, but he was on his phone or just sitting there not caring. I was standing 2 meters to his left, in the same listening zone, thinking how can he not hear this or fix it. The band was great though, awesome experience. I just wish I could hear them mixed a little better next time! I kept hoping that we'd get those 2nd guitar solos up, but to no avail. 2 stars off an other wise 5 star show because the mix was not up to par for a band of their status. The engineer definitely had the know how and the gear to make it good, he just phoned in it that day. Lighting was good, definitely looked like the design had to be compromised to some degree due to the venue's size, but the LD did a good job.

If the volume wasn't set to Moda level, number 12. It would have been better set to 8. The Roseland isn't that big, but it's a great place. The band lineup was top-notch. First time hearing Thrown into Exile, go see them wherever they are playing. Awesome guys to talk to also. Fit for an Autopsy also great to see, and in this venue, they shined. What can I say about Alissa and her backup band? LOL 😆 Just kidding guys, you're all A+++ musicians and performers. You know how to put on a show and leave a crowd screaming for more.

The Observatory is great venue. Great sound and view of the show no matter where you are in the facility. Arch Enemy was phenomenal. Good clean performance in spite of it being the first stop on the tour with a brand new album. The energy of Alissa White Gluz was off the chain and energized the crowd. Paid for the meet and greet and was not disappointed. The only drawbacks were from the opening acts... they could have been better... but part of being a great group like Arch Enemy is to not just help yourself once you make it, but to help new talent break into the music business as well. I will see Arch Enemy the next time they're in town and would recommend the Observatory as a venue. The performance by Arch Enemy alone was more than worth the price of admission.

Arch Enemy delivered a great performance! They also played some new songs from their upcoming album, which was great! During the concert, the band suddenly left the stage. Only after 20 minutes did we get to hear the reason why (it seems there were some technical issues). They could at least have said something sooner! After the technical issues had been resolved, the band returned. This whole incident took around 30 Minutes. Other than that, the evening was great. I just wish that on their next tour they go solo, without another band. So that we have a whole evening with Arch Enemy, not just an hour.

I had a very nice disco night with live played Arch Enemy music and a nice, small moshpit. To be clear, the band performed great as always. But the location s***s. I was standing in the back and not able to see any member of the band or anything on the stage. I know several locations where this would not be the case. Schleyerhalle is also organized pretty bad with several occasions where you have to show your ticket and getting there with public transport was nice, too. I would definetely go to an Arch Enemy concert again. But not at Schleyerhalle Stuttgart. Frankfurt is definetely better.

Simply amazing! I normally don’t pay attention to visual effects or light effects in metal shows but my goodness were they stunning! As for Arch Enemy themselves, I haven’t seen them live in 15 years and I had forgotten how utterly amazing they are in the flesh. I thought maybe I’d miss the presence of someone as outstanding as Jeff Loomis, but Joey Conception just blew me away! Just a fantastic show all around.

Arch Enemy were on form! Happy that they played some of the great classics and didn't play too much from the new album. Great performers and the sound was clear. Doors opened 40 mins late which was annoying as there was a monsoon storm outside too. The first support band Dezember were pretty good, great musicians and fun to watch. The second support band Amalgama were beyond cringe-worthy and a pretty bad fit for Arch Enemy as a support band. They were friendly and had fun though and apparently had some fans in the room.

I saw them back in 2018 at the manning bar and I saw them last night at metro theatre. They were good at the manning bar but they blew that night away with last night's performance. The chanting, the singing. It was brilliant. The fans were right into it from the start and I enjoyed every second of it. Thank you Arch Enemy for coming to sydney and putting on a epic show. I can't wait to see use next time 🤘🤘

Não era tão fã de Arch Enemy e nem conhecia muito além do básico, e fui ao show mais pela participação do Behemoth do que pelo headliner em si, dito isso, fui surpreendido com um dos melhores shows em que eu já fui na minha vida! As músicas escolhidas do novo álbum não decepcionaram, e os clássicos ao vivo tinham MUITO mais potência do que eu imaginava, eu estava no ÚNICO mosh pit que tava rolando durante o show, e a banda foi tão absurda ao vivo que a roda não pariu do início até o fim depois de uns tombos e umas porradas. Arch Enemy ao vivo vale muito a pena mesmo pra quem não conhece tanto! saí mais fã do que eu entrei

As an avid and veteran gig-goer (my first metal show being the first UK Ozzfest in 1998), I like to think I know a thing or two about big rock concerts. I've been watching Arch Enemy for more than 2 decades now - I've seen them at least once on every European tour they've done since Burning Bridges was released. This show was hands down the best I've ever seen them, and one of the best gigs I've ever attended in my life. Arch Enemy are a band at the top of their (or anyone else's) game. Do not pass up the chance to see them on this tour.

the show in itself was good. the band before the headlining band Arch Enemy was Behemoth and they sounded perfect, as close to the album as possible but Arch Enemy sounded "muddy" . thier harmonies were 100% perfect, they were heavy as f**k, but it all just sounded muddy ( i konw i said this already but its the only way i can exain it. i know sometimes it isnt the bands fault as it maybe because of house sound. without a doubt ill see them again.

great show. larger venue would be appropriate for future shows. completely full. crowd was PUMPED for the show. regarding the depot itself - price for beverages was too high. bar area should be available to ALL showgoers. charging an ADDITIONAL FEE?! for using a table reads like extortion and squeezing patrons for more money. The Depot can do better than that by following the advice offered. staff was professional, personable and generally supported a positive experience.
