Swedish extreme metal pioneers ARCH ENEMY have released a new single, “Paper Tiger,” which can be heard below. The song is taken from band’s forthcoming twelfth studio album, Blood Dynasty, slated for release on March 28, 2025, via Century Media Records.
Blood Dynasty was mixed by Jens Bogren and mastered by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Street Studios. The video was directed and produced by Mirko Witzki at Witzki Visions.
Blood Dynasty, the 12th studio album from ARCH ENEMY, delivers 11 brand-new tracks brimming with the band’s signature crushing guitar riffs and intense guttural energy.
Band’s founding guitarist Michael Amott previously said about the album: “This new album pushes the boundaries of what we’ve done before—it’s everything you’ve come to expect from this band, and then some! We can’t wait for you to hear it and feel the energy we’ve poured into every track. Welcome to the Blood Dynasty!”
ARCH ENEMY previously revealed plans for a North American tour in spring 2025. The extensive journey begins on April 14 in San Diego and wraps up on May 16 in Atlanta, featuring multiple Canadian dates along the way. The schedule also includes prominent spring festival appearances, such as Sonic Temple and Welcome To Rockville. Find all dates here.
