After releasing their latest record “Deceivers” last year , ARCH ENEMY have earlier this year returned with a new video for the track “Poisoned Arrow”. The clip was produced by Mirko Witzki of Witzki Visions.
Watch “Poisoned Arrow” below.
ARCH ENEMY guitarist Michael Amott comments: “I almost can’t believe we’re releasing a seventh (!) video off our recent ‘Deceivers’ album. Yet here it is, ‘Poisoned Arrow’, a mid-tempo track drenched in melodic guitar work and a somewhat different vibe overall compared to the other singles we’ve had out.
“The video was shot in Berlin, Germany during a hectic whirlwind schedule with director Mirko Witzki and his talented crew — they even made it snow in the middle of the sweltering German summer heat!
“Here’s another Deutschland connection for you; our German friend Raphy played the beautiful cello part on the intro and outro of the song, thanks again mate!
“2023 is upon us and ARCH ENEMY is back on the road again, we launch the proceedings in New Zealand, Australia and Japan and have a big European summer run too. Who knows where we’ll go after that…but for now, check out ‘Poisoned Arrow’!”
