With Angela Gossow (2001–present)
The band\'s logo which has appeared onall their releases.The first album with songs featuring Gossow was Wages of Sin, released in 2001. In December of the same year, Arch Enemy took part in the \"Japan\'s Beast Feast 2002\" concert, playing alongside Slayer and Motörhead.
Anthems of Rebellion was released in 2003 and brought some innovations, such as the use of a second voice singing in harmony, for example in \"End of the Line\" and \"Dehumanization\". In November of the following year, the band released the EP Dead Eyes See No Future, which featured live recordings, along with covers of Manowar, Megadeth and Carcass songs.
In June 2005, Arch Enemy finished the recording for their sixth album, Doomsday Machine. In July 2005, guitarist Christopher Amott left the band in order to focus on his personal life. He was temporarily replaced by guitarist Gus G. (ex-Dream Evil, Firewind), and then by Fredrik Åkesson. Christopher returned on a permanent basis in March 2007, shortly before the band entered the studio to begin recording their new album with producer Fredrik Nordström (Who has produced for acts such as In Flames, Soilwork and more). Åkesson would then go on to become Opeth\'s new lead guitarist in May, 2007. An album from Arch Enemy\'s earlier work, Black Earth, was reissued on April 24, 2007. Liiva\'s vocals are present on the album.
Arch Enemy\'s seventh album, titled Rise of the Tyrant was released on September 24, 2007 in Europe and September 25, 2007 in the USA. The album was leaked onto file sharing networks before the initial release, but lacked several elements of the final release.
