Official press release:
Swedish extreme metal powerhouse Arch Enemy are charging into a new chapter as they unveil the first new musical piece after their latest album cycle with Blood Dynasty.
The new single “To The Last Breath” is a testament to the band’s legacy, and a step towards a new exciting era of Arch Enemy: “To The Last Breath” comes not only with powerful music but is also the first Arch Enemy song to feature the latest addition to the lineup — new singer Lauren Hart (ex-Once Human).
Michael Amott, guitarist and founder of Arch Enemy, comments:
“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.”
While fans and media alike have been rapidly speculating about who might step into the role behind the microphone, the band remained tight-lipped as the anticipation built to a feverous pitch across the metal community. Now, Arch Enemy are back in full force, presenting their ferocious new anthem “To The Last Breath”.
Michael Amott adds:
“Make no mistake — this song is a reckoning. Musically, it’s unapologetically aligned with my original vision for the band — and I believe longtime fans will recognize that immediately. 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.”

With unwavering confidence, Amott asserts:
“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!”
To celebrate this new chapter and present their unparalleled and raw band dynamic, Arch Enemy announce an intimate European club show run dubbed Back To The Root Of All Evil in Summer 2026.
