Angela Gossow is beautiful...the Music is great, too!.......2007-02-19

Ever since Angela Gossow joined Arch Enemy in 2001, the band has moved in a postive direction. Doomsday Machine is Gossow's third studio album with Arch Enemy, and it is a great step forward in the band's career. Unfortunately, guitarist Christopher Amott chose to leave the band for personal reasons after the recording but Fredrik Akesson soon replaced him. Michael Amott's vision for Arch Enemy has continued with melodic Death Metal and Arch Enemy have made a great name for themselves with a relentless tour schedule after the recording of this album.

Doomsday Machine starts out with a great intro called Enter the Machine. Taking Back my Soul starts with great riffs, and once again Angela's vocals sound very powerful. Nemesis and My Apocalypse are the two main singles from this album. One of the best songs present is Mechanic God Creation. The song progresses very nicely and the riffs are unforgettable. Machtkamph is a fan favorite at live shows, and Slaves of Yesterday is the closer of the album.

After seeing Arch Enemy live numerous times since the release of Anthems of Rebellion, it is clear that this band has a lot of talent. Unfortunately, fans will not be able to see the Amott Brothers unleash hellish riffs and have solo duels on stage anymore. For those who have not viewed `Love Apocalypse,' please do it in the near future. Angela Gossow has a great stage performance and the band proves that they can perform at a top level. In my opinion, Wages of Sin is the opus of Arch Enemy, but this album is clearly a step forward from the Anthems of Rebellion release. Also, Angela Gossow is one good looking woman who can perform lead growling vocals better than a lot of men. If that will not get you to check out this band, than I do not know what will. Enjoy!

Their best since Wages of Sin!.......2007-02-06

There are 2 sides of the legacy of Arch Enemy through my observations! Their is Johan's side (former vocalist) and Angela's side. Either way, i'm on no one's side! I like AE with both singers, different but still rocks balls! There's a lot of immaturity in some of the fans, and here's why I see it that way...If you're on Johans's side, you're true to the underground, you're a "true metal head"...but, if you're on Angela's side, you're "poser" or a "mallcore kid"(whatever the hell that means). To me, they just despise the change, and assume that AE searched for a vocalist to grasp the media attention that they DESERVE. So what if they did, Angela may be a blonde petite female, but she's got some lungs that some male metal vocalists lack! This album Doomsday Machine is a deluxe effort of good melodic death metal, amazing solo work, bold intensity, and great vocal range, to me Angela masters the art of coordinating highs and lows. As soon as the CD blurred the introduction I knew right away that this album was gonna blow my mind away, and I was right! I don't give a flip who criticizes my opinion because it stands SOLID! As for the previous efforts before Angela's appearance, they still have my attention and that will continue! Arch Enemy as a whole, before/after is just balls out METAL!!!

Arch Enemy - The Best !.......2007-01-15

I'm sure that all metal fans will be surprised with this band and with what a girl can do in the vocals.
Powerfull and tecnical metal music for your ears.
If I could, I would say: Complete satisfaction or your money back!

Anything you could want from an extreme metal band.......2007-01-05

A supersexy female vocalist with such force in her voice she puts most male death vocalists to shame, Angela Gossow somehow manages to balance her undeniable power with lyrical clarity and an uncanny sense of melodicism. The guitarists play some Metallica-esque riffing that combines old school thrash and power metal with a new sound. The guitar solos are technical shred but also highly melodic and so memorable they stick in your head for days. The drumming is intense but also pushes the songs in a forward-moving groove. The songs demonstrate a good understanding of form and structure. They lyrics are empowering, and the chorus hooks are so catchy they rival the best classic metal sing along songs even with the death vocals. This band is everything you could want if you're a fan of melodic, thrash-influenced, uplifting death metal.

It's aighty.......2007-01-03

There are a few good songs and a few quite annoying ones. Overall I like it, don't get me wrong.
