Arch Enemy's Michael Amott posted a guide to a few of the tracks that are currently available on MP3. "Hello all Arch Enemies! Please enjoy these small samples from the new Arch Enemy opus, Wages Of Sin! I thought I'd throw in some little comments, to guide you through.
We felt that 'Enemy Within' is a good opening song as it's got a little soft piano intro, that slowly grows into a crescendo. This is actually the first time we have used any sort of intro, on our old albums it's always been a case of hitting someone as hard as you can without warning... this time we give you a warning - THEN we hit you! The song itself is quite complex and has a lot of different tempos and riffs going on...not exactly a hit single... but it's 100% Arch Enemy. The sample is the 2nd chorus into the solo section.
