Founder and guitarist Michael Amott says about ‘Paper Tiger’:

“With Blood Dynasty almost here, we thought we’d sneak in another single for you! ‘Paper Tiger’ is a personal favourite—these riffs are so much fun to play. The accompanying video was shot on a German airfield last summer with our visionary friend Mumpi. Turn it up and let it roar!”

Following the surprise drop of their single ‘Dream Stealer‘ in July 2024 and the subsequent release of ‘Liars & Thieves‘ in October 2024 and title track ‘Blood Dynasty‘ in December 2024, ‘Paper Tiger‘ marks the fourth single offering from the highly anticipated album. The track delivers ARCH ENEMY‘s signature blend of powerful guitar riffs and dynamic vocals, showcasing the band’s evolution while staying true to their roots.
