According to blistering.com Arch Enemy will be making their return to the U.S. this September as part of the mighty Gigantour, which features the legendary Megadeth, genre titans such as Lamb of God, Opeth and labelmates Into Eternity, among others. The month long trek will be the group's fourth and final U.S. run in support of their highly acclaimed album, Doomsday Machine, which debuted at #87 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Additionally, on August 8th, Arch Enemy will release their first DVD, Live Apocalypse, a double-disc set full of live footage, in-depth interviews and promotional video clips.
Mike Amott (guitars) further describes his thoughts on the upcoming trek: "We are ecstatic about returning to the U.S. for yet another cool tour after two months of European festivals this summer. It's an honor for us to be a part of Gigantour this year and to share the stage with metal legends Megadeth! We are also looking forward to hanging out with our Swedish friends in Opeth and making lots of new friends along the way. This will most likely be the last time the U.S. fans will see us on tour for the Doomsday Machine album, and we are more than ready to deliver a full on metal assault, ARCH ENEMY style! Let the 'Symphony of Destruction' begin."
