I doubt you actually stood death metal growls in your first listen. It's like listening to Satan in person. It took me a year of trying to like these bands.
Did you pay attention to what she sing? Angela has shown us the way, it was never about the face, it was about intention. She promised to be with us for the time, not forever
I lost mine to my dad playing the first Sabbath album, first track, on an overpowered vinyl setup during a fucking lightning storm that struck our yard as I watched out the window. Needless to say, I shit my pants at the age of 5 and this year at the age of 29, I purchased that same album on vinyl and a turntable as Christmas presents for him. He's just as responsible as Sabbath is for influencing my taste in art.
This song is so metal. It's no the heaviest or anything, but it's metal on top of more metal and even more heavy metal. Every single thing in this song screams metal.
My Apocalypse, We Will Rise, The Immortal, Silverwing, Skeleton Dance, I am Legend / Out for Blood, Aces High (Iron Maiden cover), Symphony of Destruction (Megadeth cover). 👍
Angela Gossow is a badass babe....she is most definitely my fave heavy metal goddess. I never get sick of watching her and listening to her music..her legacy will never be forgotten and will always be known as the one who made growling fuckin awesome. I dig her passion and I love the energy in her music..
I miss Angela’s presence. Alissa is great but she seems more theatrical with her costumes and hair. Angela’s presence was a force and she just rocked a tank top and pants
Yes, that's true and in fact Angela herself wanted Alissa to be the new singer because she has an astonishing voice, both clean and growl, and a stunning presence on scene. Arch enemy is one of most theatrical band in the metal scene,especially when performing live so the singer perfectly suits the band needs.
Alissa, I wouldn't call her outfits costumes, she is just dressing how she wants, being herself. Plus she shouldn't care what other people think about her being in Arch Enemy when Angela herself chose her replacement and manages her. Both are great in their own aspects.
@@chavextermination oh c'mon... it's called marketing. Angela couldn't keep on singing forever (she's getting old for that kind of life, metal scene is ruthless with women plus being on tour all the time is exausting), especially in a band where frontman alone make half of the show. She tought she could do better as a manager, i totally agree with her. Her first decision was nailed. They needed fresh meat for attracting younger fans (call them stupids) and they chose the best female singer/performer existing at that time.. Wasn't a hard choice i suppose. She's damn good for them.. Fans have to get used to this and start appreciating what Alissa can bring to the band.
@@BlackRoseImmortal75 calm the F down, I understand that bands have to change. I am jus saying I can't get on board with Alissa's vocals. I am not saying she should leave, I am not saying she is bad, I just don't like Archenemy with her as the vocalist. Why you take it personally? Seems like you have been fighting in the comments for a bit too long.
Angela is just much more beastly and has a depper/powerful voice. Alyssa is a little too cute but she's a strong vocal too for Arch Enemy. Been following them since Anthems of Rebellion.
Even though there are a lot of people on this comment thread that are mentioning how awesome Angela was as a singer [which she definitetly was], it should also be pointed out what a badass guitarist Christopher Amott was as well. Am not denying that Jeffrey that replaced him is talented, because he certainly is, but with Christopher you can feel how he just plays a lot tighter and adds that essential dose of guitar brutality that makes "Anthems of Rebellion" such a great album.
Yeah Chris and his brother having trained together at school and played together for so long- theres really no substitute for. Also worth mentioning that at a time when most bands of the genre were becoming more and more interested in 7 and even 8 string model guitars (in the case of meshuggah), the amott brothers were proponents of detuned 6 strings with corresponding action and bridge adjustments to get more of the "brutality" you mentioned. There's just a sickness to that healthy "thwack" of a detuned guitar through.... I think they were playing kranks? I don't remember.
This was my intro to this band and likely to melodeath as a whole. For some reason I woke up with it in my head, despite not listening to it for yrs. Well here I am 19 yrs later. And its still stellar.
My first concert was Arch Enemy, at 16 y/o in 2006 and got to see Angela!!! I was so inspired by this goddess!! Best concert ever! I love her voice the best because she's got that deep mature woman voice, and while I also enjoy Alyssa, she sounds too 'youthful'. Hopefully her voice will get richer over time.
@@V2ULTRAKill I would agree if he didn't already look like a damn Viking and expected brutal vocals lol (Amon Amarth is awesome btw) , but this gorgeous blonde woman is killer.
The Anarchist You are right ,Arch Enemy is from Sweden ,but Angela was born in North Rhine-Westphalia,West Germany .For those about to rock ,i salute you!
The song that introduced me to Arch Enemy and melodic death metal genre in my teens. I was blown away hearing Angelas growls , in fact I'm still in awe of her growls. Seen this band live few years wish i saw em with Angela, no hate on Alissa though she's awesome too!
@@Herebedragons991 Awesome have fun! I saw Arch Enemy with Behemoth about 2 weeks ago. Awesome gig. Can see my concert footage on my channel if you want.😊
To Arch Enemy, all involved in the making of this video, everyone involved in the writing, recording and producing of this song and anyone watching and listening I want to say God Bless you all and your families. Your Heavenly Father knows you and loves you all, Jesus is the Way to eternal life please please please all repent and follow Him. The Kingdom of God is waiting for you. And when you have time I encourage you all to pray this prayer: 'Heavenly Father, what do you want to show me?" and then listen
We will rise in God's time, we are his children, not the antichrist governments, there'll be blood spilt over this lie, the liar is filthier than the lie
Took me a week to remember this song after seeing them on Vevo and refusing to Google .. but goddamn, this was a corker I had on repeat back in 2009! 🤘
Got hit by nostalgia and am listening to all the great songs from my high school years in the 2000's and I finally got to this gem. Once a masterpiece, always a masterpiece!
Richard warren really? so far by my count three are for my comment and no one for yours. so no sir.... we dont ALL think its better. thank you for youre comment none the less.
Besides "Ravenous," this has always been my favorite Arch Enemy song. The new stuff is alright and the new singer is good, but it doesn't have the grit that songs like this have.
Tear down the walls
Wake up the world
Ignorance is not bliss
So fed up with second best
Our time is here and now
I am the enemy
I am the antidote
Watch me closely
I will stand up - now
We will rise
Rise above
Stereotype Fools
Playing the game
Nothing unique
They all look the same
In this sea of mediocrity
I can be anything
Anything I want to be
We will rise
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
👌💯
I wish rappers would write shit like this. Maybe the world could be completely different if this is what was popular
@@wholeass83 Old school rappers could do but the new ones don't know to write about anything relevant.
@@praisethesun7198 yeah rap these days is basically fake it until you make it
I love ángela. Love of my life.
rise
First metal song I ever liked, got me into metal. I owe this song my life basically
Believe me I was going to say the same thing .
Angela was the first woman in metal I saw with the vocals she has. I thought only men did that lol
+Fernado Penetra
Same, Angela really blew me away when I first heard Arch Enemy.
I doubt you actually stood death metal growls in your first listen. It's like listening to Satan in person. It took me a year of trying to like these bands.
Are you assuming, all people are weak like you? You don't try to like these bands, you like it or you don't... Poseur
Anyone who say metal is a bad influence or isn’t positive has never heard this song!
Or never really has been with Metalheads! Just a peacefull and very entertaining folk ;)
Never heard arch enemy overall
Those would be politicians?..)))
no, cowboys from hell is positively sounding
when i first heard metal i instantly fell in love and it changed me a lot
ANGELA WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE ARCH ENEMY'S GODDESS
Alissa White-Gluz though.
John Archangel7 nope
John Archangel7 she is cute and can sing / growl but she is no Angela by fare sen them live a few times she is not half as evil on the stage as Angela
uuu tasty one !!!!
Cant there be two goddesses tho ?..
Angela Gassow is the best metal female singer ever and I will miss her not singing with Arch Enemy! She made Arch Enemy!
Please check out Jinjer. Im pretty sure you will like them!
What happened to Angela?
@@nutsack-1904 She's now the manager of the band but stopped performing herself. Alissa White-gluz replaced her (ex-The agonist)
She joined a band that was already great with a pioneering guitarist. Man some fans are fickle
@@nutsack-1904 Nothing. She just gave up being a singer Allisa is the sibger now
HOW CAN WE RISE WITHOUT YOU ANGELA ?
We will rise once again when shy will return on abonded throne in oure hearthstone.
We will rise
Did you pay attention to what she sing? Angela has shown us the way, it was never about the face, it was about intention. She promised to be with us for the time, not forever
true :(
@@andrewkuznetsov3554 yeah I tried but I can't listen to Alissa, wish they picked up Lauren Hart instead, she was heavily influenced by Angela
nah(
MY FIRST ARCH ENEMY SONG!!! THIS IS HOW I LOST MY METAL VIRGINITY!!!!!!!!!!!! ahh man, great memories.
Shit...i lost mine to metallicas black album lol
Arran Titchmarsh wow man, nice way to lose it btw!!!
+ThisIsRTSThree999 i dont know what album it was for me... i was too young, probably something from iron maiden...
Mine too bro, been goin on a good 10-11 years now

In the next century, this song will still be EPIC and BRUTAL !!!! 💯🔥🤘The more this song is played, it just keeps getting better and better!!!! 💯🔥🤘
This song is so metal. It's no the heaviest or anything, but it's metal on top of more metal and even more heavy metal. Every single thing in this song screams metal.
Pure Fking Metal as Angela says 😊
I remember watching this when I was 13, really introduced me to different genres, amazing music and vocalist
"In this sea of mediocrity I can be anything. Anything I want to be". Best Arch Enemy song imo.
This band gave me back my taste for metal, it's one of my favorite bands
Actually now
this and nemesis will always have a special place in my heart!🤘🏻
And "My Apocalypse" also for me: Their 1st song I listened! 🤘🏻
Doomsday Machine is their best album imo.
Silent Wars is a personal favorite of mine
TIME MACHINE
TIME MACHINE

I think this is the best song by Arch Enemy so far!
My Apocalypse, We Will Rise, The Immortal, Silverwing, Skeleton Dance, I am Legend / Out for Blood, Aces High (Iron Maiden cover), Symphony of Destruction (Megadeth cover). 👍
@@Omnom__nom carry the cross 🤘
ravenous, silent wars, the last enemy, in this shallow grave, the day you died. ✌
The other one I really is the old version w/Angela + Christopher Amott of Under Black Flags We March

Still one of their best ... such an epic song.
Angela was the best....Bring Angela back and be the best metal band in history
She is incomparable. Absolutely amazing sound to come from anyone, let alone such a beautiful woman. This song is great all the way around

Actually now against dictatorship
Thank you head banger's ball cd for featuring this song. been a fan ever since and I miss Angela's demonic growls!
La energía y furia que le pone esta mujer al cantar es única e irremplazable.
Se le extraña de verdad, Alisse no llena sus zapatos, pero bueno, ahora por lo menos, ya es la manager de la banda.
Tremenda no!!❤

She does weddings and children’s parties too!
Angela is beautiful and a amazing voice
She is queen!
Однозначно, королева! Навсегда, одна, неповторимая.
Anthem of the fallen, 11 years and still one of the best metal piece.
I always go back to 0:57 because she almost sounds like a rabid wolf and that really sets the tone for me.
I wish Angela was still the singer. She’s hot af. And those vocals. God damn 😍
Her death growls send shivers down my whole body :3 forever love this band

But beautifull. Like song
Angela wasn't talented? She has pretty much perfect growling technique and style. One of the best melodic death metal singers in the world.
Best!

Her voice is awesome, but she isn't the whole German. Fuck nationalism.
Something about the way she's whipping and thrashing around in that straight jacket is just so insanely cool and badass.
You cant simply appreciate its awesomeness by listening to this perfect song just once.
Best Arch Enemy album ever with my favorite song “Leader of the Rats”

Always \m/ Angela \m/
heyyy

I definitely prefer Angela Gossow over their current vocalist. Angela had the voice this band needed
Kinnakeeter 1997 yesss especially opposed to the dude on the first few albums.
Kinnakeeter 1997 I like Alissa but it’s not the same . Like two and a half men, it’s still funny but not the same with Ashton Kutcher lol
