Khaos Legions专辑介绍
瑞典超级旋律死亡金属乐队Arch Enemy自2007年后，首度发表其全新的录音室专辑Khaos Legions，可谓万众瞩目。和IN FLAMES抢在同一档期发行新专辑，乐队可谓是信心满满。不过的确，Khaos Legions绝对对得起无数乐迷煎熬漫长的等待，新专辑中的14首全新曲目可以说是火力全开，代表着旋律死亡金属的最高水平。Michael Amott依然是乐队的主角，时而狂暴时而忧伤的超绝吉他技术依然弥漫点缀着整张专辑。Rickard Bengtsson是本次新专辑的制作人，音乐的低音被挖地很厉害，导致这张专辑的音色非常地有压迫感！
Khaos Legions is the eighth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Arch Enemy. It was released on May 30, 2011 by Century Media. The record marks a return to new, original material, after releasing the Tyrants of the Rising Sun - Live in Japan live CD/DVD (2008) and The Root of All Evil (2009) which consisted of a selection of re-recorded songs from the band's back catalog. It is the band's ninth album counting the compilation.
Khaos Legions debuted at number 78 on the Billboard 200, selling around 6,000 copies. This surpasses both Doomsday Machine and Rise of the Tyrant, making it the band's highest-charting effort so far.
The album's single is "Yesterday is Dead and Gone", and music videos have been released for "Yesterday is Dead and Gone", "Bloodstained Cross", "Under Black Flags We March" and "Cruelty Without Beauty". This would be Arch enemy's last album with original member Christopher Amott before he parted ways with the band for the second time in March 2012.
Lyrically the album focuses on various political and social themes like religion in the song "Bloodstained Cross", animal testing in "Cruelty Without Beauty" and anarchism in the songs "No Gods, No Masters" and "Under Black Flags We March" (the black flag is an anarchist symbol). Animal testing was also criticized in the video for the song "Cruelty Without Beauty" showing video footage from animal test laboratories.
