Burning Bridges

While some of the genre's hardcore aficionados might disagree, death metal tempered with a dab of accessibility is generally a more enticing proposition -- not only does it render the intensity more consistently listenable, it also increases the chances of a band developing an original voice, since they don't tie themselves down to genre conventions. Arch Enemy is one such band, having honed a potent blend of classic-style death metal, melodic twin-guitar leads a la the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, touches of prog metal and of grindcore courtesy of later Carcass or Napalm Death, and just plain solid riff writing. Burning Bridges, their third effort, consolidates the gains made on its predecessor Stigmata, establishing Arch Enemy as a dependable force and one of the better bands working death metal territory as the '90s draw to a close. 

讲真这张专老主唱的表现已经比前两张进步太多了，但大敌还把他踢了，真可惜[哀伤]

早起编曲比现在的千篇一律好太多

大敌前三张专辑的原班人马组了一个日本限定的组合叫Black Earth，包括Amott兄弟和第一任主唱Johan Liiva，在16年和19年两度赴日本巡演，只演前三砖和一两首新单曲。有幸19年在东京看过两场，牛逼二字已不足以形容。前三张砖真的是越听越有味道，最重最纯粹的旋死。Johan作为主唱一点也不差[拜]
