Swedish extreme metal powerhouse Arch Enemy are charging into a bold new era, unveiling their first new music since the Blood Dynasty album cycle — and introducing fans to their latest lineup addition.
The band have released the blistering new single “To The Last Breath”, accompanied by an official music video. The track marks the recording debut of new vocalist Lauren Hart (formerly of Once Human), signaling a powerful new chapter in the band’s evolution.
“To The Last Breath” stands as both a continuation of Arch Enemy’s legacy and a statement of intent moving forward. The single captures the band’s signature ferocity while introducing a renewed vocal intensity through Hart’s commanding performance.
Founding guitarist Michael Amott shared his enthusiasm about the collaboration:
“Connecting with Lauren has marked an important step in my journey. Working with her was an exceptional experience — her remarkable voice, coupled with her dedication and professionalism, brings a rare level of excellence. I look forward to continuing the collaboration.”
As speculation mounted across the metal community regarding who would take over vocal duties, Arch Enemy remained tight-lipped — until now. With “To The Last Breath,” the band return in full force, delivering what Amott describes as a reckoning.
“Make no mistake — this song is a reckoning. Musically, it’s unapologetically aligned with my original vision for the band — and I believe longtime fans will recognize that immediately. Lyrically, it’s about seeing through deception and dismantling the illusion of control. It captures that moment when you realize you’ve been fed poison — and you choose to fight back. Once that clarity hits, there’s no retreat. It’s do or die.”
With unmistakable conviction, Amott adds:
“Just when you think it’s over, a new beginning rises. Now it’s time to rage with us — to the very last fucking breath!”
2026 European Club Shows Announced
To celebrate this new chapter and showcase their revitalized lineup in an up-close setting, Arch Enemy have announced an intimate European club run titled “Back To The Root Of All Evil”, set for Summer 2026. The dates promise a raw, high-energy return to smaller venues — a rare opportunity for fans to experience the band’s renewed dynamic in a more personal environment.
More details on dates and ticket information are expected soon.
