Swedish metal legends Arch Enemy unveil their latest single, “Liars & Thieves“ from their upcoming album Blood Dynasty. The album announcement and the start of the pre-order phase coincided with the beginning of their European co-headline tour “Rising From The North” with In Flames on Oct 3rd in Glasgow.

Throughout the tour, “Liars & Thieves“ has already been performed live, as the band teased the release of the new single on stage. Now, with the release of the digital single, fans worldwide can finally experience the track.

Listen to “Liars & Thieves“ on your favourite DSP here“Liars & Thieves” delivers a powerful message of resilience and inner struggle, wrapped in fierce melodic death metal with intense lyrics about battling deception and enduring hardship.

Michael Amott shares about the new single and the video, “Our second single from Blood Dynasty is here! ‘Liars & Thieves’ is a fast, heavy-hitting track, with a melody that’s been getting stuck in people’s heads—don’t say I didn’t warn you! We’ve been playing it live recently, and it’s been an absolute beast in the pit. Now, it’s time to check out the studio cut!”

“The accompanying video has been captured out here on our ongoing European tour by director Jens De Vos, highlighting the passion and metal madness of these amazing shows where fans and band are one!”

“Liars & Thieves” was mixed by Jens Bogren and mastered by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Street Studios.

Blood Dynasty marks Arch Enemy’s 12th studio album. The record features eleven new tracks full of the band’s signature powerful guitar riffs and guttural force.

Arch Enemy founder and guitarist Michael Amott confides, “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!”
