## Overview

Released August 12, 2022 on Century Media Records, Deceivers is Arch Enemy's eleventh studio album and the band's most recent recording — the current endpoint of a discography stretching from Black Earth (1996) to the present day. It is the third and closing chapter of the Alissa White-Gluz era arc, following War Eternal (2014) and Will to Power (2017), and the third Arch Enemy album produced by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studio in Örebro, Sweden.

Deceivers arrived after a five-year recording gap from Will to Power — extended development time shaped in part by the COVID-19 pandemic — and the songwriting reflects it: denser, more compositionally varied material with some of the band's most ambitious melodic writing alongside its signature aggressive intensity. Daniel Erlandsson's performance is arguably his most compositionally mature studio work in the Arch Enemy catalog; 27 years of playing this band's music has produced drumming of maximum precision and musical intelligence.
