  • ARCH ENEMY kicks off North American tour with Behemoth, Napalm Death, Unto Others

     


    On July 29th, extreme metal masters Arch Enemy will unleash their 11th studio album, Deceivers, via Century Media Records. For fans that can't wait for the record's release, the band is now offering a new 7", Sunset Over The Empire (due out May 20th) - with the title track also appearing on Deceivers. Arch Enemy's founder and chief songwriter Michael Amott comments: "I am thrilled that we are releasing our next single 'Sunset over the Empire' not only digitally everywhere as usual, but also as a physical 7" vinyl record. I'm a big fan of the vinyl format myself and I think this killer looking 7" will be a nice collector's item as it's a limited run. The B-side is an instrumental we've never released before on a record, and the A-side is one of my fave tracks off our new upcoming album 'Deceivers'!"

  • We Celebrate the Legendary MARSHA ZAZULA

     

     

    Let's Celebrate Marsha Zazula!  

    Marsha Z co-founded Megaforce Records with her late husband Jon Zazula and forever changed the landscape of heavy metal. She was also a dear friend and mentor who devoted her life to people and interpersonal relationships which grew and flourished.

    Marsha Z was like a mom to the metal community and was also mom to her three daughters Rikki, Blaire and Danielle and was GramMarsha to her lovely grandkids, Declan, Jack, Lilianna, Wynter and Walker.

    The world truly is a different place without Marsha Z, yet at the same time her mark will live on forever.
