Album
Anthems of Rebellion
Anthems of Rebellion is the fifth studio album by Arch Enemy, the Swedish melodic death metal band. It came out in July 2003 on Dream On Records, following Wages of Sin and ahead of Doomsday Machine in the band's run of records.
The album broke new ground for the group by introducing clean vocals for the first time, sung by Christopher Amott on "End of the Line" and "Dehumanization". "We Will Rise" was the single, with a video of a crowd racing across a beach under a darkened sky, and it got moderate airplay on Headbangers Ball and Uranium. "Dead Eyes See No Future" also had a video, built from a live performance, and the song turned up on the Alone in the Dark soundtrack. Four tracks later featured on MTV's Viva La Bam, which makes it a good one for hearing the band stretch its sound.
