Arch Enemy has not reunited with former vocalist Angela Gossow, but still – they made an incredible choice!
Swedish extreme metal titans Arch Enemy have entered a new era with the addition of Lauren Hart (ex-Once Human) as their lead vocalist. The band has marked the occasion by releasing their first single with Hart, “To The Last Breath,” accompanied by an official music video.
Guitarist and founder Michael Amott states: “Connecting with Lauren has marked an important step in my journey. Working with her was an exceptional experience — her remarkable voice, coupled with her dedication and professionalism, brings a rare level of excellence. I look forward to continuing the collaboration.”
Amott elaborates on the track: “Make no mistake — this song is a reckoning. Musically, it’s unapologetically aligned with my original vision for the band… Lyrically, it’s about seeing through deception and dismantling the illusion of control. It captures that moment when you realize you’ve been fed poison — and you choose to fight back. Once that clarity hits, there’s no retreat. It’s do or die.”
To celebrate this new chapter, Arch Enemy have announced an intimate European club show run for Summer 2026, dubbed Back To The Root Of All Evil, showcasing the band’s raw energy and renewed lineup with Hart at the forefront. The tour kicks off on July 19 at Bi Nuu in Berlin, DE and wraps up on August 11 at Rebellion in Manchester, UK. Get your tickets here.
This marks the beginning of what Amott calls: “Just when you think it’s over, a new beginning rises. Now it’s time to rage with us — to the very last fucking breath!”
