Three years after the release of Khaos Legions and their most successful world tour to-date, extreme metal icons Arch Enemy have started mixing their 9th studio album with Jens Bogren at Fascination Street in Sweden. The new album will be titled War Eternal. Michael explains:

"A lot of times life is a struggle, a war against what I like to call 'mental chains' in society that try to prevent you from living life the way you want, that try to stop you from making your dreams come true.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is 'War Eternal'..."
