ARCH ENEMY To Play Greece For First Time

October 8, 2007

On Sunday, November 11, Swedish/German extreme metallers ARCH ENEMY will perform live for the first time in Greece.

Commented guitarist Michael Amott: "I can't emphasize enough how good it feels to finally announce a show for our patient fans in Greece! Year in and a year out, you have been listening to our music and supporting us — now we finally make it over to you guys! I have played in Greece before (with SPIRITUAL BEGGARS) and I know what an amazing spirit Greece has for hard rock and metal. This is going to be special."

ARCH ENEMY will take part in a signing session at Vancouver, British Ccolumbia, Canada's Scrape Records (located at 17 West Broadway) prior to the store's 10th anniversary bash on October 15 at the Commodore. The whole band will present for the in-store, which is expected to begin around 5:00 p.m

In addition to ARCH ENEMY, Scrape Records' 10th anniversary bash will feature performances by INFERNAL MAJESTY, SINNED and SOULSCAR.
