Arch Enemy detail new album Covered In Blood

Last month, Arch Enemy revealed they would release an album of cover versions in early 2019.

It’s titled Covered In Blood and will launch on January 18 via Century Media.

The band previously revealed the cover art – but they’ve now confirmed the record will feature their take on 24 tracks by artists including Megadeth, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Scorpions and Kiss.

In addition to the music, Covered In Blood will also feature liner notes about the collection of songs by Arch Enemy’s Michael Amott, while the cover art was created by Costin Chioreanu who has previously worked with artists including At The Gates and Ghost. All tracks were remastered for vinyl and CD releases.

Covered In Blood opens with Arch Enemy’s take on Tears For Fears’ Shout, which recently featured on the b-side of the band’s limited edition 7-inch single Reason To Believe.
