The band announced the news with the following statement:

Michael Amott Thinks Arch Enemy’s International Lineup “Is The Worst Idea Ever”
Throughout the pandemic, we all got pretty good at working from home. Or, rather, most of us did. Arch Enemy guitarist Michael Amott recently shared his experiences with recording twelfth album Deceivers, which was recorded in both Sweden and the United States due to travel issues. According to Amott, Jeff Loomis (Arch Enemy’s second guitarist, for those who don’t know) attempted to board a plane…

On July 29, extreme metal masters ARCH ENEMY will unleash their 11th studio album, “Deceivers”, via Century Media Records. For fans who can’t wait for the record’s release, the band is now offering a new seven-inch single, “Sunset Over The Empire”, with the title track also appearing on “Deceivers”. The official music video for “Sunset Over The Empire”, directed by Grupa13, will premiere today (Friday, May 20) at 9:00 a.m. PDT / 12:00 noon EDT.
ARCH ENEMY’s founder and chief songwriter Michael Amott comments: “Behold the ‘Sunset Over The Empire’, the fourth single from our upcoming 'Deceivers’ album! This is a faster song with some manic riffs and a relentless beat that I can envision becoming a 'hit in the pit’! Lyrically, it’s sadly one of those that seems to ring more true with each and every passing day nowadays… 'Words turned to war, brother fighting brother, another false truce, as the people die…’. The accompanying video was shot in Poland with the Grupa13 team and doesn’t follow the lyrics slavishly but has a great message and vibe in its own right. Oh, and I’m stoked that we’re releasing 'Sunset Over The Empire’ as a limited-edition physical single on 7” vinyl!“
"Sunset Over The Empire” seven-inch single is available in the following versions:
* white vinyl (limited to 1000 copies; available via CM Distro Europe) * transparent orange vinyl (limited to 500 copies; band exclusive)

In a recent interview with Tampa Bay Creative Loafing,ARCH ENEMYsingerAlissa White-Gluz stated about the band’s decision to release more singles than usual this time around.
“I think over the course of the last couple of years everyone has had to rethink how they release because of the way music is consumed now,” she said. “We put equal time into all the songs, but then, maybe only two or three of them get highlighted as singles. But that’s not to say that the rest of the songs didn’t take just as much time and energy and heart to create. We have fans who know every single song, but we wanted to give people an opportunity to discover a little bit more about our sound.”
ARCH ENEMY played the first show of “The North American Siege 2022” tour with BEHEMOTHandNAPALM DEATH on April 16 at The Marquee in Tempe, Arizona. ARCH ENEMY’s set included the three new songs the group released over the last few months: “Deceiver, Deceiver”,“House Of Mirrors”and“Handshake With Hell”.
Amott previously stated about “Deceivers”: “Having just celebrated our 25th anniversary as a group and now releasing our 11th studio album, one could easily assume that we would be cruising along and going through the motions at this point. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to ARCH ENEMY and our new album, 'Deceivers’.
"It is, without a doubt, always a challenge to raise the bar each time in both the songwriting and production side of things, and it can feel a bit daunting before we get into it. But once we do get started and fully immerse ourselves in the creative process, it’s really like there is nothing else in the world and we are very focused. And believe it or not, for the most part, we have a ton of fun making this music! Creating 'Deceivers’ was no different. Once again we shut out the outside world and went deep into the artistic zone. I believe we pulled out some really interesting musical and lyrical themes this time, a few things might even raise an eyebrow or two — while retaining all the signature elements of the band. In the end, it’s ARCH ENEMY at full speed and power.”
After“The North American Siege 2022”tour,ARCH ENEMY will appear at select summer festivals before embarking on the rescheduled “European Siege 2022” trek (with BEHEMOTH,CARCASS,UNTO OTHERS) in the fall.
