"We can't wait to reconnect with our amazing North American fans this spring," says ARCH ENEMY's founding guitarist Michael Amott. "We're bringing FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY, BAEST and THROWN INTO EXILE along for the ride. Prepare for an unforgettable night of pure metal mayhem. See you soon!"

ARCH ENEMY's twelfth studio album, "Blood Dynasty", will arrive on March 28, 2025 via Century Media Records.

ARCH ENEMY's 2024 European co-headline tour, "Rising From The North", with IN FLAMES, wrapped up on November 5 in Helsinki, Finland.

Michael stated about "Blood Dynasty": "This new album pushes the boundaries of what we've done before — it's everything you've come to expect from this band, and then some! We can't wait for you to hear it and feel the energy we've poured into every track. Welcome to the 'Blood Dynasty'!"

Next to the limited deluxe editions that feature two exclusive bonus tracks, fans can direct their attention to the limited liquid blood vinyl that is exclusively available in the band stores and limited to 666 copies.

Issued in July 2024, the "Dream Stealer" single marked ARCH ENEMY's first new music since the release of the "Deceivers" album, which came out in August 2022.

"Dream Stealer" was mixed by Jens Bogren and mastered by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Street Studios. The accompanying music video was directed and produced by Patric Ullaeus.

Four months ago, Amott told Pulp Magazine about "Dream Stealer" and ARCH ENEMY's plans for new music: "We've been staying busy for sure and are really focused on writing and recording new stuff in between the touring we're doing. I'm kind of always coming up with new musical and lyrical ideas though — I just keep going as it's what I enjoy doing anyway. Making music is a natural process, and it's pretty much a daily thing, so it can be hard to pinpoint exactly when everything was conceived. I do, however, actually remember that the initial seed for 'Dream Stealer' was written during a songwriting session I did with Daniel [Erlandsson, drums] in Los Angeles, California, two years ago, and then it's been rearranged and updated a lot till it reached its final state that you're now hearing."

Asked if it was a conscious decision to go back to the "classic ARCH ENEMY" direction and approach with "Dream Stealer", Amott said: "I've seen some seriously great feedback from the fans, and that's always very encouraging, of course. Personally, I don't know if I’d necessarily say 'Dream Stealer' is a throwback to the sound of the past, but I get what they mean — the song has the energy and speed that is very exciting and infectious. Maybe there is a hint of vintage ARCH ENEMY in there, and why not? I'm looking forward to playing it live on stage — I think it is going to be intense as hell."

ARCH ENEMY played its first concert with new guitarist Joey Concepcion on April 24, 2024 at Musinsa Garage in Seoul, South Korea. The show was part of ARCH ENEMY's 2024 Asian tour.

In December 2023, ARCH ENEMY announced that it had "amicably" parted ways with longtime guitarist Jeff Loomis.

Jeff, who was the main songwriter in his previous group, NEVERMORE, joined ARCH ENEMY in late 2014, but was not involved in the writing for the latter act's last two albums, 2017's "Will To Power" and the aforementioned "Deceivers".

ARCH ENEMY is:

“Andy Warhol’s Lonesome Cowboys may be a bit too much for many people, but that’s their problem. Lonesome Cowboys is a magnificent and very funny satire of the American Western that is liberally seasoned with our favourite 4, 8, 10 and 12-letter words and a cornucopia of carryings-on that is – in combination – perhaps unprecedented.”

/ Critic John L Wasserman of The San Francisco Chronicle /

Released on this day (5 May 1969) at New York’s Garrick Cinema: Andy Warhol’s joyous, freewheeling homoerotic X-rated Western parody Lonesome Cowboys (tagline: “Definitely not for the young-uns!”). I vividly recall seeing this one at an impressionable age at London’s legendary much-missed grindhouse sleaze pit Scala Cinema in the early nineties. (I say “sleaze pit” with love). I caught many Warhol films there (including Couch (1964), My Hustler (1965) and Chelsea Girls (1966)) and the pattern was consistent: the theatre would start full, there would be a steady drip of walkouts who couldn’t cope with Warhol’s “challenging” pacing and filmmaking choices, and by the bitter end there was just a handful of hardcore attendees left. I for one found Warhol’s underground pop art cinema entrancing (and sexy as hell). I haven’t seen Lonesome Cowboy in decades, but I remember it featuring Warhol’s most beauteous leading men (Joe Dallesandro, Louis Waldon, Eric Emerson and Tom Hompertz), a glorious moment of Dallesandro (in tight white jeans) go-go dancing with Taylor Mead, and a long, meandering monologue from Viva.

young veins spring tour

The Young Veins toured North America opening for Foxy Shazam with Bad Rabbits in the spring of 2010. The band knew Foxy Shazam because they were also with One Haven Music. Ryan explained how the tour came about in this interview:

We are managed by the same people. It was kind of tough to get on a tour when you don’t have any music out or any records, so I think they did us a favor. Or maybe we are doing them a favor.

^ map of the Foxy Shazam tour.

As well as touring with Foxy Shazam, the Young Veins also played two solo shows at the Echo in Los Angeles, which is a tiny venue with a 350 person capacity, as well as a set at South By Southwest Festival (SXSW) on 19 March.

Several fans who posted concert recaps of the shows mentioned that the band didn't have roadies and were setting up their equipment themselves. It seems like Jon was doing most of it, which makes sense as he used to be a guitar tech for The Academy Is... and he was probably also the strongest.

The band ran a Twitter competition for the tour, where fans could tweet a picture of their favorite vacation memory to be entered to win free tickets to one of the shows. Here is an infographic posted by the band about it:

Ryan talked about the competition in this interview:

[The vacation photograph contest] was [the label's] idea, which I really liked because I have been meeting the kids every night and they are really excited about it. There is really nothing we have to do, it is just a great way to have people come for free.

Quotes from the band about the spring tour

It’s been so much fun playing these venues. We’ve scaled back on the way that we’re touring. We’re back in a van and we’re actually able to experience what we’re doing and where we’re going instead of just being on someone else’s schedule and being told where to be and when. This last tour we just finished with Foxy Shazam was just so much fun. We had more time to hang out with fans and the venues sound better, it’s so much more intimate, I really hope that we can continue and maintain playing in smaller places for awhile just because of the fact that the sound is so much better. Once you get into the bigger places it really makes a difference. – Jon

It is more interesting every night, you never know what you are going to walk into. I question the craftsmanship in a lot of these clubs because I can't figure out what they were thinking but it makes it a lot of fun. Being so close to the crowd again, I forgot how that was and it makes the show have more energy. – Ryan

It’s been weird for us because this is the first time in the last four or five years that we’ve gone on tour playing songs that no one really knows. It was interesting to get people’s reactions and I think it went fairly well. I know just playing live for us in general gives us motivation to do the kind of songs we want to write and even more focused on wanting to have it translate better live than songs we’ve written in the past. – Jon

Especially since we don't have any music out or released, building a really close relationship with what fanbase we do have is really important. Being as close as possible, building friendships and meeting people around the country is good. [...] The best feeling in the world is to have people that did not come for our band and like our band and tell us that after the show, especially since no one has any pretense of what to expect. If they did like it that is a really good feeling. – Nick M

PORCHES Announces New Album Shirt Watch the Video for New Single “Joker” + Announces Fall North American Tour

Porches, the recording project of NYC’s Aaron Maine, announces his sixth studio album, Shirt, set for release on September 13 via Domino. Shirt blends angsty fantasy with confessional melodrama, oscillating between reality and make-believe to reflect both the innocence of suburban youth and the complexities of adulthood. The album is a fusion of chaotic impulses, insatiable desires, and a perpetual yearning, exploring the tension between one's personal identity and public persona. The result is a familiar yet uncanny rock album, featuring anthemic tributes to this intrinsic duality, built on a mix of crashing and caressing sounds. Check out “Joker” below: Today, Porches releases the new single “Joker,” characterized by an intoxicating kick and clap rhythm. The track repeats "God's grace" like a mantra, evoking pastoral Americana imagery, such as a boy and his dog, or a flag on a pole, while hinting at darker themes beneath the surface. The accompanying video for “Joker” is directed by Nick Harwood, with Ben Carey as the director of photography.

New York, NY -- Vagabon, the project of Lætitia Tamko, will be releasing her new album Sorry I Haven't Called on September 15 via Nonesuch Records. Last week, she released the newest single lifted from the record "Do Your Worst," a track that spans 3.5 minutes long and takes listeners through a dark, edgy soundscape. From the rolling jungle beats to moody instrumental, "Do Your Worst" that captures an urgency that'll have you running at breakneck speed. Vagabon's soft vocals offset the intensity of the song beautifully, creating a beautiful dynamic between the two.

[vampyrebond]

since i'm redoing my tags anyway, let's establish some verses (NOT SPOILER FREE)

a note - if we're plotting a ship and you write a non TVC character, it'll probably exist somewhere in its own version of modern and will get its own tag! these are my canon/canon adjacent and established au verses

a second note - if lestat is mentioned it is @complicitsacrilege-rp. nick and i have just gone too hard over the last few months.

( v. executor in charge. )

pre 1910

anything that takes place before louis meets lestat. he is a creole, closeted black man. he is able to be a child as a child, with two present parents. despite being the grandchild of ex slaves, his grandfather took over the sugar plantation in the reconstruction period, therefore establishing the du lac wealth. just after louis' 28th birthday, his father drank himself to death and left louis as the executor in charge of the family's fortune. to keep their family afloat, louis opens multiple brothels in storyville.

( v. is my very nature that of the devil? )

1910-1939

takes place in new orleans from the moment lestat de lioncourt arrives in new orleans, until louis and claudia leave for europe. note: while most canon events do take place in one way or another, louis suffers from unreliable narrator syndrome. whether on purpose or not, his memory can't be trusted. because of this, moments will absolutely come up when writing in this time frame that look different to what we saw on tv.

( v. théâtre des vampires. )

1939-1945

claudia and louis arrive in europe in 1939. they explore for a few years, feeding off the lost souls of world war two. they are tortured yet again by lestat, this time burning him down with the home they purchased. they end up in paris, and louis turns a woman named madeline to make another companion for claudia. they meet a vampire who belongs to the théâtre des vampires. they are brought the theatre, and meet the vampire armand and the rest of the coven. there is an immediate connection between armand and louis, so strong that it is only louis who will eventually leave the underground theatre. armand has claudia (and madeline) killed, and louis burns down the building with all of the other vampires in it in retaliation. much like the rest of his story, louis and the walking red flag he's falling for run off together.

( v. i'm sleeping with a ghost. ) - most undecided threads take place here.

1945-2022

armand and louis travel all over the world together. they fall in love. it wasn't love at first sight. it was a love that blossomed from shared trauma and understanding. and it was REALLY good for a long time. in the 70s they end up in san francisco. in 1976 the first interview takes place. that's the beginning of the end for armand and louis, not because daniel comes between them ( no one ships devil's minion more than louis tbh ) but because louis' memory would always be their downfall one day. they end up in dubai during the pandemic, and settle in a penthouse. in 2022 they invite daniel to dubai to conduct the second interview. this interview is more of a suicide note for louis than anything else. if the book got published, there's no way he'd survive it.

( v. the prince's companion. )

ship exclusive: @complicitsacrilege-rp's lestat

the book is in fact not published, but louis and armand part ways. louis finds lestat who had been in the ground since the fire. the events of queen on the damned on CAN take place here, but not all will. as i read i'll let you know what we keep. the endgame here is lestat and louis back together in modern times.

( v. professor du lac. )

after the first interview, louis realizes he wants more with his life and enrolls in university. he works his way through school, eventually getting a phd in american creole history. he teaches french and american history classes at the university he gets a job at. all night classes of course.

( v. true blood. )

louis, as a human in modern times, owns the azalea -- a vampire bar in the quarter. there's a reason most vampire bars are owned by vampires, but louis can more than hold his own. he has a daughter, claudia, who was the daughter of one of the girls at the club who was killed by a vampire ( louis swiftly cut the head off that vampire in retaliation ). lestat, having been the reason for vampires becoming public, lives under the radar until he shows up at the azalea one day.

alternate w/o shipping with lestat - louis is a vampire who owns the vampire bar the azalea in the quarter with claudia as his companion.

( v. the witcher. )

louis is a higher vampire who lives in novigraad with claudia. he is trying to keep a low profile and earn a living by owning a brothel in town.
