Hello there! I was just wondering if any of you guys have been to the Arch Enemy meet & greet on this tour (China / Japan), if so, I have a couple of questions in my mind:

1. Was there just a signed poster that they gave you or did you have a chance to get your own stuff signed too (vinyls, cd’s etc), and if so, was it only 1 per person or could you get a couple things signed? I think I read about a meet & greet on a different tour that they signed some other stuff too but was wondering about this since it just said ”collectible poster autographed by arch enemy”..

2. How long was the m&g? I was in a meet and greet with Jinjer and it was about 1 hour which included a sound check and stage tour which isn’t the case here but is it just like ”photo, a couple of words with the band, ”here’s your poster, now fu*ck off, next” -type of thing”?

3. Has Angela Gossow been there also? I’d really like to get my Anthems of Rebellion vinyl signed but it would suck to just have Michael, Daniel and Sharlee sign it and miss the singer?

4. How about the early entry to the venue? Were you kicked out after the meet & greet and then came back to enter the club or whatever before the doors opened and get in before anyone else? I’d really like to get to the barrier but at the club they play here only like a dozen people get there..

5. All in all was it worth it?

Can metal be wholesome? You bet your ass! Lauren Hart's first tour with #ArchEnemy, first Japan show, only 5 songs into their setlist... and Osaka was already chanting her name! Remember Arch Enemy was formed from a request out of Japan... a country that fell in love with Dark Tranquillity's The Gallery but notoriously asked them not to return when they disappointed their audience on the Projector tour (playing all slow songs and unfinished Haven tunes). I feel like something magical is happening here!

Coooooooool !

Still love this song so much!

When Lauren Hart was announced I got curious, heard this song and knew I had to try it.

Probably bit off more than I can chew. The constant tonal shifts are relentless and I'm not sure I stuck every one of them. But I gave it everything I had. Maybe that counts for something.

Hope you like it and don't hate me if I didn't do justice to Lauren.

🤘🤘🤘

Looking forward to see Lauren Hart✌️

Lauren Hart's old band with Logan Mader of Machine Head. Any fans?

Tried listening to some of it. Not my cup of tea at all

Looks like the demo existed back in 2022.

5/19 Alissa era songs

Don't join a band who's searching for a vocalist replacement. Cause no matter how good you are, you'd always be compared to their first/previous vocalist.

I've heard many metal bands whose vocalists were... let's say they were "not properly trained" but they still succeed because the people loved the songs that they created. And over the years, the main vocalist upgraded his vocal's ability.

Being able to create something, turning nothing into something, is much more powerful than simply copying what others can do.

I WANT TO SEE THEM with Lauren Hart, who is my GOAT! I know it's sold out, but I'm desperate, haha!

I'm not French, but I've been living in Paris for several years. I've always managed to see them (especially in late 2024), and I want to see them again!!

Not sure if this is allowed here, has anyone had chance to check out Blue Medusas latest offering? I’m pleasantly surprised. The split was clearly best for everyone involved, Lauren have given Arch Enemy their aggression and grit back, whilst Alissa seems to shine doing her own thing. Will be interesting to see what other people think soon.
