Swedish/Canadian/American melodic death metallers ARCH ENEMY have dropped “Deceiver, Deceiver”, their first new song in four years.

The band announced the release in a video message earlier today. In the clip, which can be seen below, frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz said: “Surprise! We are ARCH ENEMY and we are back with our newest single ‘Deceiver, Deceiver‘ which is available everywhere that you listen to music now. So go check it out and also check out our stories because we are counting down to the live music video premiere for ‘Deceiver, Deceiver’ later today, so we’ll see you there.”

In January 2019, ARCH ENEMY released a compilation, “Covered In Blood”, of all cover songs the band has recorded throughout its career.

In the fall of 2018, guitarist Michael Amott revealed that he had commenced the songwriting process for the follow-up to the “Will To Power” album. Released in 2017, that disc marked the second ARCH ENEMY album since the departure of longtime singer Angela Gossow and addition of White-Gluz. It was also the first ARCH ENEMY disc to feature former NEVERMORE guitarist Jeff Loomis, who joined the band in late 2014.

Jeff, who was the main songwriter in his previous group, NEVERMORE, was not involved in the writing for “Will To Power”.

In a 2018 interview with All That Shreds, Jeff said that he had “a lot of musical ideas” that he was hoping to contribute to ARCH ENEMY in the future. “I did write three or four songs for [‘Will To Power’], but they didn’t make it, only because it wasn’t in the style that they were looking for,” he said. “Fortunately enough, I was able to play guitar solos on the latest album, so that makes me happy.”

Four years ago, Amott said that Loomis is “a strong songwriter” in his own right, “but not in the style of ARCH ENEMY, I feel. He’s always writing and recording with his own stuff,” he explained. “He has a project called CONQUERING DYSTOPIA, he has his solo stuff, [and] he obviously wrote most of the NEVERMORE stuff. I’ve always respected him, and continue to respect him, as a guitar player — he’s amazing and an amazing human being; he fits in perfectly. [There’s] a great chemistry [between us]. But, you know, I’ve always written most of the music, so it’s difficult to… I don’t really wanna change the sound of the band too much. The band sort of started around my songwriting and my ideas, and those continue to be the most dominant ones, I guess. But, you know, who knows [what can happen] in the future?”
