Last month, Arch Enemy announced to the world that their new vocalist was now ex-Once Human frontwoman Lauren Hart. She was coming in to fill the void left by Alyssa White-Gluz’s departure last November and right away they released a new track with Hart’s vocals, “To The Last Breath”.
Of course people online were a mixed bag of reactions to Hart’s inclusion, but a lot of what people were going to judge her on was always going to be her live performances with the group. Now, with the band touring through China, we finally have some live footage of her fronting the band at Dongsan Live in Beijing.
According to setlist.fm, the Arch Enemy setlist for the show was:
Yesterday Is Dead and Gone (First time since 2016)
The World Is Yours
Ravenous
War Eternal
My Apocalypse
To the Last Breath (Live debut)
Blood Dynasty
Bury Me an Angel (First time since 2015)
Silverwing (First time since 2015)
The Eagle Flies Alone
No Gods, No Masters
I Am Legend / Out for Blood
Dead Bury Their Dead
Blood on Your Hands
Enemy Within
Liars & Thieves
Snow Bound
Nemesis
Fields of Desolation
The fan filmed footage shared below gives the world its first real glimpse at how Hart will handle the role that featured other incredibly talented female vocalists like White-Gluz and Angela Gossow, who called her “Angela incarnate.”
So check out the clip and let us know in the comments what you think about Hart’s inclusion in Arch Enemy. I’m sure I didn’t have to tell you to do that since MetalSucks readers are… opinionated, to say the least.
