“Getting in Angela Gossow was like throwing out your pet rabbit and getting a Rottweiler. It was a lot more brutal”: how Arch Enemy’s Wages Of Sin reinvented extreme metal for the 21st century

Arch Enemy.

Arch Enemy emerged from the Swedish death metal scene in the mid-1990s, but it was 2001’s Wages Of Sin album that truly put them on the map thanks in a large part to new vocalist and not-so-secret weapon Angela Gossow. In 2007, Arch Enemy guitarist Michael Amott looked back on the album that changed the course of extreme metal.
