Arch Enemy Push Back New Album Release Date by Two Weeks
Right now, international metal giants Arch Enemy have been promoting the hell out of their new album Deceivers. However, it now appears that they’re going to be promoting it a little longer, as the band have announced that they’re pushing the release date from its originally-scheduled July 29th to August 12th.
The band announced the news with the following statement:
“Dear Enemy Legions,
“We know how excited you (and we) are to get your hands on our new album, “Deceivers”! Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the release of the new album has to be postponed – but only by two weeks! So, the new release date will be August 12th. We promise it will be worth the wait!
“In fact, the album will drop while we are on the road playing some of our favourite European festivals and, to thank you for your ongoing support, we have decided to host some exclusive signing sessions throughout Germany so we can meet you face to face!

“- Arch Enemy”
Huh! Obviously, we’re curious about the unforeseen circumstances. If we had to guess — and this is pure speculation — we’d say it’s something to do with the actual production of the physical album and/or merch. This far along, the music itself is definitely wrapped, but as someone who’s worked in published, I know two weeks can make a difference when it comes to a printer or pressing plant.
Anyway, Arch Enemy’s Deceivers drops August 12th via Century Media, and is available for preorder.
