ARCH ENEMY will perform on October 17th at this year's installment of the Loud Park festival, set to take place October 17-18 at Makuhari Messe, a convention center in Japan located in the western region of Chiba Prefecture, close to Tokyo.

Michael Amott comments: 'We're honored that ARCH ENEMY can once again be a part of Japans premier Heavy Metal event! The shows we've done at Loud Park in past years have been very special. I truly wish every Metal fan could experience this festival - it really is something else! This year will have an awesome vibe as usual I'm sure!'

'By October we'll have a new studio recording released worldwide, and the set we do at LOUD PARK 09 in Japan will reflect that of course! The title and full details of this album we've been making in somewhat secretive, or at least in a low key manner will be made official very soon...'

'We are in the process of finalizing more shows in this part of the world (Australia has already been announced earlier this week). We'll be playing a few locations in the Far East that are new for Arch Enemy - we'll be confirming and announcing live shows over the next days/weeks.'

JUDAS PRIEST

ROB ZOMBIE
