EP
Burning Angel
Burning Angel is an EP from Arch Enemy, released on 6 March 2002 through Toy's Factory. It sits in the melodic death metal end of the band's catalogue, arriving in the wake of Wages of Sin, the 2001 album that followed Angela Gossow's arrival as lead vocalist in 2000.
For anyone tracing the Swedish band's story, it catches them in the early Gossow era, with Michael Amott, the former Carcass guitarist who founded the group in 1996, still steering the sound. Their next full-length, Anthems of Rebellion, followed in 2003. Short releases like this are a handy way to hear the band between those two studio records.
