New Arch Enemy track posted

The new version of Bury Me an Angel is now posted online. and yes, it does have that horrible sterile guitar tone. Andy Sneap now joins Greg Fidleman and Andrew Scheps (you know, the guys who ruined Death Magnetic by mixing out the bass and then compressing the fuck out of everything else) when it comes to mixing room guys who need to be punched in the face. It takes a lot for me to say this since I do like Sabbat, but seriously, this production just lacks the teeth of other Arch Enemy albums.

And if you live in Asia or Australia, they are planning a tour for the Far East (with a Belgium date thrown into the Asia dates for some reason).

What surprises me is that they aren't doing any dates for Osaka or Sapporo. Loud Park is a big festival but by all accounts, this band is huge in Japan. What's even more shocking is that there are only two Chinese dates (Hong Kong and Beijing) when it's a country of over one billion. I'd think that they'd at least throw Shanghai or Macau in there for the Chinese market. And then they skip over Thailand completely. But at least they won't skip Chicago the next time that they come to the North America.
