Arch Enemy capture their performance in Helsinki in new video "The Race"
The Swedish metallers Arch Enemy presented a music video for the track "The Race" from the latest album "Will To Power", released on September 8 via Century Media. The video was directed by Patrick Ullaeus, who has worked with Dimmu Borgir, In Flames, Evergrey and other artists.
The guitarist Michael Amott comments:
"This was actually the last song written for the 'Will To Power' album. "Listening through all the material we had up to that point, we agreed that the album needed one more song that would be a relentless and fast-paced counterpoint to some of the more epic compositions we already had. We sent Alissa [White-Gluz] the music and she came up with a thought-provoking set of lyrics with an intense vocal arrangement that complemented the music perfectly. "We've been having a blast playing this song on the current tour and we had our video director Patric Ullaeus come out to capture the mayhem at our recent show in Helsinki, Finland... Enjoy 'The Race'!"
