Swedish extreme metal titans ARCH ENEMY usher in a bold new chapter in their career, unveiling their first new music since the album cycle for ‘Blood Dynasty’.The new single ‘To The Last Breath’ stands as both a testament to the band’s enduring legacy and a decisive step into an exciting new era for ARCH ENEMY. The track not only delivers the band’s trademark power and intensity, but also marks the very first ARCH ENEMY song to feature the band’s newest member, vocalist Lauren Hart (formerly of ONCE HUMAN).
Founder and guitarist Michael Amott comments: “Connecting with Lauren has marked an important step in my journey. Working with her was an exceptional experience - her remarkable voice, coupled with her dedication and professionalism, brings a rare level of excellence. I look forward to continuing the collaboration.”
While fans and media alike speculated intensely about who would step up to the microphone, the band maintained silence as anticipation across the metal community continued to build. Now Arch Enemy return in full force with their powerful new anthem ‘To The Last Breath’.
Michael Amott adds: “Make no mistake - this song is a reckoning. Musically, it is unapologetically aligned with my original vision for the band, and I believe long-time fans will recognise that immediately. Lyrically, it is about seeing through deception and dismantling the illusion of control. It captures that moment when you realise you have been fed poison, and you choose to fight back. Once that clarity hits, there is no retreat. It is do or die.”

With unwavering conviction, Amott declares: “Just when you think it is over, a new beginning rises. Now it is time to rage with us - to the very last fucking breath.”
To celebrate this new chapter and to showcase their unmistakable and raw band chemistry, Arch Enemy announce an intimate run of European club shows for summer 2026 under the banner “Back To The Root Of All Evil”. Tickets are available here.
