ARCH ENEMY have just triumphantly finished off a string of high-profile, partly sold-out headline dates in Europe which saw them debut in Russia, then visit The Netherlands, France, Belgium and end up with four massive shows as part of the "Defenders Of The Faith" tour in the UK with OPETH, DEVILDRIVER and 3 INCHES OF BLOOD. Playing a packed and passionate show in front of a 4,500 people crowd in London's legendary Brixton Academy on Saturday marked a highlight as well as a perfect ending for the successful run of dates.

ARCH ENEMY will make its much-anticipated return to North America in May with what could well be hailed as one of the best guitar-shredder packages of the year. This headlining tour, presented by ESP Guitars, Randall Amps, Guitar World and Revolver magazine, dubbed "Tyranny And Bloodshred 2008", kicks off on May 9th and features ARCH ENEMY with support acts DARK TRANQUILITY, DIVINE HERESY and FIREWIND.
