This is a CD for the fans........2005-09-15

It's not a full release, but it still has good material. It's above mediocre and will get a few plays in my car. It was something good to tie me over until their Doomsday Machine release.

For fans only.......2005-05-10

For fans only, this is the stereotypical stopgap EP between albums. Three live tracks and three covers follow the title track. The sound on the live tracks is pristine, and the live performances are strong. Singer Angela Gossow's between-song banter is an added treat. The covers of Megadeth, Manowar, and Carcass yield mixed results. Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction" becomes heavier but monochromatic, while Carcass' "Incarnated Solvent Abuse" is updated with tighter playing and better production values. The included video for "We Will Rise" is unintentionally humorous, featuring the band lip-synching in improbable natural settings

A must have for Arch Enemy fans.......2005-04-01

This Arch Enemy CD really gives you a lot for an EP, the studio track Dead Eyes See No Future is the only previously released track (from Anthems of Rebellion), the rest are live tracks and cover songs.
The live tracks, Burning Angel, We Will Rise and Heart of Darkness are excellent. The sound is crisp and the brutal riffing can be heard distinctly, unlike some other death bands whose live sound is just garbled noise. Angela Gassow's death growls have more range and dynamics than most death metal vocalists giving the songs much more depth and power.
The EP continues with Symphony of Destruction, a Megadeth cover. I am quite familiar with Megadeth's original version which is one of the bands best songs and I was expecting Arch Enemy to really take it to a new level of heavyness, but somehow it falls flat. The main problem is Angela's vocals which seem to have some sort of strange effect on them and she doesn't sound quite like herself. Also the famous riff, though played with more distortion than the Megadeth version, doesn't drive home like the original.
The remaining two cover tracks are the true gems here. I am not familiar with Manowar's version of Kill With Power so I can't compare AE's version to the original, but holy smoke, talk about some fast and furious riffing! This song just pummels along like a juggernaut! Angela's vocals really deliver on this one and the Amott bros. lay down the guitar tracks with equal amounts ferocity and precision. The last track is Incarnated Solvent Abuse, a Carcass cover. Now almost everybody knows that Carcass was guitarist's Michael Amott's former band so he is sort of covering himself on this one. Just a great track, technical, fast and very heavy with the melodic sense that would become a characteristic of Arch Enemy.
The disc also includes the video for We Will Rise, another excellent track from Anthems of Rebellion.

I'll rather get 'The Heartwork' and 'Tools of the Trade' EPs.......2005-02-16

The two CARCASS classic EPs have way better material than what the new Arch Enemy have to offer here, for me there is only 3 Arch Enemy masterworks. Starting with "Black Earth", following with "Stigmata" and reaching its height with "Burning Bridges".

arch enemy's future is shining bright.......2005-01-25

this ep is plenty for everybody. i like the introduction to "we will rise", and the way they cover the megadeth song and the manowar song will have both megadeth and manowar running for cover. angela gossow is an incredible singer and good-looking too and she gives many a male death metal singer a run for his money. i say that fred durst's numba one fan should take a long walk off a short pier, because when his precious nu-metal bands fizzle out, and good charlotte,blink-182, and simple plan fade into obscurity, arch enemy will still be shining.

Great EP...Great covers!.......2004-08-08

This is the new Arch Enemy EP, taken from the band's latest tour. Ironically, the live tracks were taken from a show in Paris, not Japan. I want you to remember that the EP doesn't have any new Arch Enemy tracks. So, the album mainly has a collector's value, for those fans who want to have everything. The new studio recordings are three great covers from Megadeth, Manowar and Carcass. This EP looks like a CD, I mean with the booklet (some live photos), the cover, the CD artwork, the presentation, etc...

1. "Dead Eyes see no future": Taken from their latest record "Anthems of rebellion" (2003). Basically, I don't see the greatness of the song. Personally, I think the album has more interesting songs to consider for making an EP: I'd prefered "Leader of the rats" or "Silent wars".

2. "Burning angel": A "hit" taken from "Wages of Sin". This is the first of the live recordings. Nothing much to say, a great sound, a better performance, but too strict, I mean, no place for improvisation, respecting every riff, every drum beat from beginning to end. At the end of the song you could listen to Angela interacting with the crowd. Man, that girl talks dirty! =). Seriously, too dirty and too "masculine" for a woman (what I think about her singing is a different issue). I know that "Burning angel" is the hit, but in its place, why not "The first deadly sin" to speed it up a little? =)

3. "We will rise": The second live track. Again, the band sticking to what they did in the album, and respecting entirely the song, without improvising. Angela didn't have a good performance. Maybe it's because it was the end of the show, or she did it on purpose, but she seems to run out of voice, and you could "notice" that...she's a woman!

These three songs were taken from the band's two previous releases, "Wages...", and "Anthems...", the first two albums with Angela Gossow in the band. So it's pretty obvious why we don't have songs from the "Liiva" (the former singer) era, considering that the live album "Burning Japan Live" was the ending of Liiva's career in Arch Enemy (and, maybe the closure of a more extreme era?)...

4. "Symphony of destruction": A MEGADETH song, taken from "Countdown to extinction" (1992). Very well done! The guitars sound extremely well, tuned up a little lower, maybe, but giving the song the AE touch of style. The three covers were produced by Rickard Bengtsson (who produced Chris Amott's ARMAGEDDON's "Embrace the mystery" album), instead of Andy Sneap, that's why the covers sound a little (just a little!) different from "Anthems..." sound...

5. "Kill with power": Of MANOWAR, taken from the record "Hail to England" (1984). A great song, with an intrincate and repetitive rhythm, but very powerful (similar to "Ravenous" drums' rhythm).

6. "Incarnated solvent abuse": taken from CARCASS' "Necroticism, descanting the insalubrious" (1991). Finally, one of my all time favourite bands covered (thank god!) with a superb production. What can I say about it? One of the best bands covered by today's best. When this song was originally recorded and the album released, Michael Amott was still a member of Carcass...

Three great bands, unique in their styles (clearly differenced in the songs), but also influential. Time passes, but they are not forgotten. Luckily, is not the same old "Judas Priest or Iron Maiden covers" that all the bands do (bands for which AE also has covers). Megadeth, Manowar, and Carcass, rarely covered, and, in this case, with Arch Enemy's excellence (a covers album is a crazy idea).

The covers alone make the album worth buying! (the rest is a bonus!). Something to entertain ourselves while we wait for their next release. I strongly recommend this to all Arch Enemy fans out there.
If you're not one...buy it anyway!
