Arch Enemy

Arch Enemy returns to Paris on 3 August 2026 at La Maroquinerie for a club-format set as part of the Back To The Root of All Evil tour. Formed in 1995 in Halmstad, the band helped define a clear line in melodic death metal: twin guitars led by Michael Amott, razor‑sharp rhythms and hooks that stick without diluting the impact. With Alissa White‑Gluz on vocals, the lineup has refined the balance between roughness and memorable choruses—from War Eternal to Deceivers—while keeping the death‑metal core firmly intact.

This tour puts the emphasis back on their beginnings and revisits material ranging from Black Earth and Burning Bridges to more recent tracks, all driven by a prominent extreme vocal. Jeff Loomis bolsters the twin‑guitar attack with precise phrasing and a presence that further thickens the mirrored harmonies. On the bill is a return to the origins without forced nostalgia: fast riffs, clean solos, sustained rhythmic tension and a sound that is instantly recognizable, delivered up close to the audience. A rare chance to hear Arch Enemy in an intimate venue, focused on the essentials.
