Black Earth - Original Arch Enemy Lineup Reunites For Shows


This could be interesting for Arch Enemy fans. The original line-up of the band will reunite and perform Arch Enemy's first three albums material live on stage as Black Earth. An extensive tour of Japan in May was announced today! Last year, Arch Enemy performed at Loudpark in Japan and during that show the group was joined on stage by the rest of the original founding members, singer Johan Liiva and guitarist Christopher Amott. The original lineup made the band's classic first three albums: Black Earth, Stigmata and Burning Bridges; the exception being bassist Sharlee D'Angelo who only joined in 1999 but has been in the band ever since.





Confirmed dates so far:

5/17 - Tokyo, Japan - Shibuya Club Quattro
5/19 - Fukuoka, Japan - Drum Be-1
5/21 - Hiroshima, Japan - Hiroshima Club Quattro
5/23 - Osaka, Japan - Umeda Club Quattro
5/24 - Aichi, Japan - Nagoya Club Quattro
5/27 - Sapporo, Japan - Lane24 Penny Sapporo

Hopefully, they will take Black Earth to other parts of the world as well.

Black Earth lineup:

  • Michael Amott - guitar
  • Christopher Amott - guitar
  • Johan Liiva - vocals
  • Daniel Erlandsson - drums
  • Sharlee D'Angelo - bass

    Why don't kick out white gulz and take Liiva back, another trick about having boobs seems it works, Liiva is good singer, and well IMO they should use this line up and be as it was, wold work, Alica is good singer, but still , I don't like where it goes when we see female 1th then singer..

    Wonder what the current line-up think of this?


    Probably is a bit awkward for them. Would love to see this live though. I'm a sucker for that era

    I've only just noticed the veins on his arm. Bit scary.

    Well, that is Daniel, the drummer. So it stands to reason his arms are gonna be pretty cut.

    So, it's not really the original lineup, or else it'd be Liiva or Martin Bengtsson on bass.

    Arch Enemy just ain't the same cash cow it used to be. Time for Michael Amott to make himself somewhat more relevant again.

    But in all seriousness this reminds me when The Dio era Sabbath members reunited as Heaven & Hell. Curious to if this will lead to some new material. The pre-Gossow era definitely had a ruffer, less hooky, heavier sound.
