After the release of their latest single, “Dream Stealer” on July 31, extreme metal legends Arch Enemy are back with a huge news. The band has officially announced the release of their twelfth studio album, “Blood Dynasty“, set to arrive on March 28, 2025, via Century Media Records.
This marks their first album since 2022’s “Deceivers “and promises to take their signature melodic death metal sound to the next level. Founder and guitarist Michael Amott expressed his excitement, stating:
“This new album pushes the boundaries of what we’ve done before – it’s everything you’ve come to expect from this band, and then some! We can’t wait for you to hear it and feel the energy we’ve poured into every track. Welcome to the Blood Dynasty!”

This exclusive vinyl will be available through the band’s store, so fans will need to act quickly to secure one of these rare items.
The album’s first single, “Dream Stealer,” released in July, marked Arch Enemy’s first new music in two years and has already set high expectations for the full album. Described by fans as a high-energy anthem, the track serves as a perfect teaser for “Blood Dynasty“, showcasing the band’s signature blend of melodic riffs, aggressive rhythms, and powerful vocals.
Amott shared his thoughts on the single:
“This is our first new song in a while, and it feels great to be back! It was a lot of fun recording ‘Dream Stealer.’ The song has that energy and atmosphere that makes it exciting to play live. Turn up the volume! Metal is immortal!”
New Lineup
“Blood Dynasty” will be the first Arch Enemy album to feature guitarist Joey Concepcion, who joined the band after Jeff Loomis departed in late 2023. Concepcion’s style and energy are expected to add a fresh dynamic to the band’s already electrifying sound.
