Arch Enemy’s appearance at Loud Park was one of the main reasons I wanted to attend. I have previously seen many “similar” Swedish bands like Opeth (four times), Amon Amarth, and Dark Tranquility (twice). But Arch Enemy is one of the few bands from Sweden that I like who I hadn’t had a chance to see, until now.<\/p>\n

Due to hunger (as I had to grab something to eat before they began), and tiredness, I didn’t have a great spot to view them. The photos came out rather well zoomed up at 17X as their lighting was better than it was for some other acts at Loud Park. The sound wasn’t good though. Indoor arenas are not ideal for sound quality. If you aren’t standing near the mixing board the music isn’t clear. <\/p>\n

The set list was something like:
\nBury Me an Angel
\nRevolution Begins
\nThe Immortal
\nRavenous
\nBeast of Man
\nSnow Bound
\nPilgrim
\nThe Last Enemy
\nI Will Live Again
\nDemonic Science
\nBridge of Destiny
\nNemesis
\nFields of Desolation<\/p>\n

Angela Gossow is the lead singer for Arch Enemy. She spoke, in English, between a few songs and could barely breathe. She was quite winded from sprinting around the stage and her “growling” vocal style.<\/p>\n

This video didn’t come out great, but here is a brief taste of part of Arch Enemy’s “Ravenous.” I apologize for the short length and incomplete song, but my SD chip filled up with this video.<\/p>\n
