Arch Enemy
A
rch Enemy are a Swedish Death metal
band, originally a supergroup, from
Halmstad, formed in 1996. Its members
were in bands such as Carcass, Armageddon,
Carnage, Mercyful Fate, Spiritual Beggars, and
Eucharist. It was founded by Carcass guitar-
ist Michael Amott along with Johan Liiva, who
were both originally from the influential death
metal band Carnage. The band has released
nine studio albums, a live album (Burning
Japan Live 1999), two DVDs and three EPs.
The band was originally fronted by Johan Liiva,
who was replaced by German Angela Gossow
as lead vocalist in 2000.


Angela
Gossow
My top 5 albums and influences:

Chuck Schuldiner (Death)
Fave album: Leprosy, fave song: Pull The Plug
Chuck’s razor blade gargle combined with a true pitch in his
mid-ranged (tenor) vocals makes for the meanest cut-throat
death metal voice there is. Period. Nobody will ever surpass
his screams. Just check out ‘Pull The Plug’ or ‘Zombie Ritual’!
Listening to him made me realize that pitch is important - even
in extreme vocals. R.I.P. Chuck - thank you for your music!
David Vincent (Morbid Angel)
Fave album: Altars Of Madness, fave song: Maze Of Torment
Now, that is a brutal death metal voice. A true bass, delivered
with such breathtaking power and force that the gods of thun-
der must go pale with envy. He doesnt grunt, he truly growls,
with utmost clarity. I love to understand lyrics in Death Metal
and I believe in all 5 vowels to be heard, not just a muddy
‘uuuu’.

Rob Halford (Judas Priest)
Fave album: Painkiller, fave song: Painkiller
The most sadistic voice in Heavy Metal - Rob Halford. He is
the Pain and the Killer! His play on words and double enten-
dres in the lyrics is just genius. I love the way he accentuates
certain words and phrases and spits them in your face. I love
to spit in faces too.

Dan Swanö (Edge Of Sanity)
Fave album: Purgatory Afterglow, fave song: Of Darksome
Origin
Such a full-bodied baritone with a beautiful singing voice on
top of that. Often copied by other singers in more popular
bands, but never surpassed. What a warm, round, full voice...
And then it goes into this all-consuming growl. He is the voice
of pure Swedish Death Metal to me! Pick up “Purgatory After-
glow’ or die!

Ronnie James Dio (Black Sabbath)
Fave album: Mob Rules, Fave song: The Sign Of The Southern
Cross
He is a legend. Period. He brought Black Sabbath back to life
in the shape of the ‘Heaven and Hell’ album. He just got better
and better with age, never lost his high notes. I was fortunate
enough to meet him and his personality was just as great and
beautiful as his voice. A powerful wail that carried through the
biggest halls, executed with such passion... A passion that
truly inspires me and so many others out there. His voice will
echo in eternity forever, whilst he is riding the dragon!

Evanescence
Evanescence is an American rock band found-
ed in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1995 by singer/
pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody.[1]
[2] After recording private albums, the band
released their first full-length album, Fallen,
on Wind-up Records in 2003. Fallen sold
more than 17 million copies worldwide[3] and
helped the band win two Grammy Awards and
seven nominations, as well as scoring No. 6 in
CBS’s “Top Bestselling Albums of the Last 10
Years” (2008).[4] A year later, Evanescence
released their first live album, Anywhere but
Home, which sold more than one million cop-
ies worldwide. In 2006, the band released their
second studio album, The Open Door, which
sold more than five million copies.


Amy Lee
Amy Lynn Hartzler (née Lee; born December
13, 1981), known professionally as Amy Lee, is
an American singer-songwriter and classically
trained pianist. She is co-founder and lead vo-
calist of the rock band Evanescence. She cites
influences ranging from classical musicians
such as Mozart to modern artists Björk, Tori

her contributions to Evanescence, Lee has
also participated on numerous other musical
projects including Walt Disney Records’ 2008
release of The Nightmare Before Christmas
soundtrack. Lee has performed collaborations
with artists such as Korn, Seether, and David

Theatres
Des Vampires
Theatres Des Vampires were amongst the progenitors of a sound
that would later come to be known as Vampiric Metal. Their mania-
cal search for all things Vampiric has resulted in a gothic and horrifying
image that has inspired a near-religious following from their fans.

Initially inspired strongly by symphonic black metal, Theatres Des Vampires
has since evolved a sound all their own; a masterful blend of influences ranging
from gothic to classical, electronic to opera. Theatres Des Vampires have created
a personal style of melancholia and crepuscular melodies. The sepulchral wedding of
Sonya Scarlet and her male counterpart creates a vocal incarnation that is both catchy
and powerful.

If Vampirism has a SOUL. ..this soul has a name.. Theatres des Vampires!!!


Sonya Scarlet
Sonya studied ballet at the Santa Cecilia Acad-
emy from the age of 4, later deciding to study
opera singing at the academy. She joined the
band as a backing vocalist with Justine in
1999, but Justine left in 2002. In late 2004 Lord
Vampyr left the band and Sonya became the
sole vocalist of the band. She was one of the
songwriters for the band on the album De-
sire Of Damnation. In 2008 Sonya suffered a
breakdown, which led to a hiatus in the band’s
career. Scarlet has an original appearance
which often draws fans to their live shows, but
appearances are often controversial in the
countries in which she plays.

Ankor
Ankor was formed in May, 2003, when some four-
teen-year-old friends decided to get together
to enjoy, create and let their imagination run
wild with music.

After performing a lot of concerts and
publishing several demos in Spain, their
first album ‘Al Fin Descansar’ (sung in
Spanish), was released by the Span-
ish label ‘Santo Grial Producciones’, in
January 2008.
The band received wide acceptation
by the public, as well as good reviews
by the press specialized in rock music,
especially considering that the aver-
age age of the members was only 19.
Various Japanese distributors ac-
quired the album to distribute it in
Japan, where it was sold out within
only a few weeks.

During the last months of 2010, a new
CD (now in English), called ‘My Own
Angel’, was recorded and produced
by Ankor. The video of the first single,
‘Remaining’, was shot in Revolver Studios
by the renowned Swedish director Patric Ul-
laeus (In Flames, Within Temptation, Arch En-
emy, Europe, Kamelot, Children of Bodom…)
and was published the 17th of April 2011.
A few months later, on the 23rd of September
2011, My Own Angel was published in Spain by The
Fish Factory, and a month later in the rest of Europe
by STF Records. It also came out digitally all over the
world.
The Spanish media has classified the album as fresh air on the
national scene where it has had great acceptance and has been
chosen as the revelation of the year in some webzines. In Europe
it has been named the best album of the year in some media in
countries such as Greece, Germany or Norway.

In January 2012 the band announced on its Facebook homepage
that they were travelling again to Sweden to shoot the second
single of My Own Angel, Completely Frozen which was published
in March.

The Japanese label Hydrant Records announced that they will
publish a special edition of My Own Angel in July, while the band
is touring and preparing the next album.
