Arch Enemy – Deceivers
Century Media Records
4,0/10,0
Brief:
If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that we need regular, jolting doses of heavy fucking metal to keep us on the right track. Over the last quarter of a century, no band has flown the flag for balls-out, melody-stuffed heaviness with more vigour or dedication than Arch Enemy.
Written during 2020, Deceivers is another self-evident labour of heavy metal love, from a band with confidence coursing through every vein.

Comments:
In lack of inspiration, Arch Enemy disappoints on this album without originality. Deceivers is neither a masterpiece nor a total failure.
