ARCH ENEMY DRUMMER DANIEL ERLANDSSON POSTS PLAYTHROUGH VIDEO OF SLAYER'S "WAR ENSEMBLE"

"Here's a drum cover (possibly the first cover I ever did, maybe not the last) of Slayer's 'War Ensemble'," says Daniel Erlandsson of Arch Enemy.

"The original features the one and only Dave Lombardo, who nailed this song 30 years ago. This is a tribute to him and Slayer and is in no way perfect. Pretty proud to say though, I filmed this exclusively with an iPhone... next time I'll use more cameras haha. As always - thank you for watching. Enjoy!"

Two of Europe’s most revered metal bands are set to combine forces to bring their European Siege 2021 tour to the old continent in fall 2021. Sweden’s Arch Enemy and Poland’s Behemoth are joining together for these special dates, bringing their longtime friends and metal legends Carcass in the special guest slot. Opening the evening’s thunderous proceedings will be hotly-tipped gothic metal newcomers, Unto Others (formerly known as Idle Hands).

Arch Enemy’s founder and guitarist, Michael Amott informs us, ”As we’ve been going through these troubled and challenging times lately, I think we all need something to look forward to. A reason to believe, right? Well... this is it!! The European Siege tour, featuring Arch Enemy, Behemoth, Carcass and Unto Others is undoubtedly the ultimate metal tour of 2021 - see you there!”

Behemoth’s frontman and creative visionary Nergal mirrors Amott’s sentiment, “After more than a year’s break from live music, we can think of no better homecoming to our beloved Legions than delivering to you a performance of new music and an event for the ages: The European Siege - a crushing combination of Carcass, Arch Enemy and Behemoth. We also proudly present the uniquely brilliant, Unto Others who will warmly welcome you to this night of metal magic!”
