Arch Enemy Posts Live Video of 'Dark Insanity'

Metal titans Arch Enemy have just released The Root Of All Evil, a stunning collection of re-recorded material from the band’s first three albums, revitalized and reenergized by their current line-up. The album achieved chart entries in Germany (#84), Sweden (#69) and Japan (#7 in the international artist charts, #21 in the combined charts).

A live clip of the song “Dark Insanity” (originally featured on the Tyrants Of The Rising Sun – Live In Japan DVD), which is one of the many reworked tracks on this album, is available below:

Right now, the band is touring through Asia and mastermind Michael Amott has posted the following report:

“We’re on a tour of Asia, just about to hit the stage here in Manila, Philippines! A couple of days ago we played the LOUD PARK 09 festival at the giant Makahuri Messe Hall in Tokyo, Japan! I had a great time on stage at the LOUD PARK Festival as usual, the conditions are extremely professional and there is really nothing you can complain about – which is of course the level of greatness we have come to expect when we play in Japan!

We played a special setlist consisting of quite a few songs from our recently released “The Root Of All Evil” CD. Thank you to everyone who made noise for us, screamed, shouted, fistbanged, moshed – whatever you did, it was great and we felt your energy up there on the stage!”

Arch Enemy has been relentlessly touring through the course of 2009 and have just confirmed a huge North American headlining run in early 2010 with Exodus, Arsis and Mutiny Within.

The band’s European fans will be able to see Arch Enemy live in early December 2009.
