Twenty one years and three singers later, Nemesis is still the song Arch Enemy are measured against, and the new live video is the clearest statement yet about where the band are now: Lauren Hart singing it, filmed on this summer's European run.
Hart arrived in February with To The Last Breath, the first song of what the band called a new chapter, after years fronting Once Human. Nemesis came out in 2005, when Angela Gossow was singing, and it has stayed in the set through everything since. Handing it to a new voice on camera is the kind of thing a band does when it is confident the answer will hold.
Ben Alexis shot the footage. Jacob Hansen, who has worked on records by Volbeat and The Black Dahlia Murder, mixed and mastered the track. The band have been on the road almost continuously since the year opened.
