Anthems of Rebellion

Anthems of Rebellion is the fifth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Arch Enemy.

A music video was produced for the album's single, "We Will Rise", which saw moderate airing on Headbangers Ball and Uranium.

At its time of release, Anthems of Rebellion gave Century Media its then highest first-week Soundscan sales in the United States, and later became one of the top ten best-selling albums under the record label.

Track listings would be identical, save the Europe jewel case edition, which omitted "Exist to Exit" (5.1).

He said that everything on Anthems of Rebellion makes it "one of Arch Enemy's most finest, most diverse yet satisfying releases to date".

He said that "the sound and clarity of the album is great, thanks to producer Andy Sneap" and that the band "easily outplays many of their peers from the melodic death metal and blackened thrash metal heap, yet they still manage to push the boundaries of their musical style and create a fury that is second to none.

[12] Carl Begai of Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles called Sneap's production "ridiculously perfect" and stated that "Metallica could learn a lot from listening to this album".

He comments that Anthems of Rebellion "is an excellent follow-up to their now classic breakthrough album", but the band will probably never surpass the song "Enemy Within" from Wages of Sin.

[15] Tony Daley of Blabbermouth.net said that Mike Amott is a fantastic guitarist, but felt that the album "still isn't quite what he and his band are realistically capable of.
