Arch Enemy Release Snarling Single, “Paper Tiger”

The wait is almost over: Before Swedish extreme metal titans Arch Enemy unleashes their 12th studio album Blood Dynasty at the end of March this year, the band reveals the ultimate single, “Paper Tiger.” The full-length album is slated for release on March 28th, 2025, via Century Media Records.

Founder and guitarist Michael Amott says about “Paper Tiger”:

“With Blood Dynasty almost here, we thought we’d sneak in another single for you! ‘Paper Tiger’ is a personal favourite—these riffs are so much fun to play. The accompanying video was shot on a German airfield last summer with our visionary friend Mumpi. Turn it up and let it roar!”

Following the surprise drop of their single “Dream Stealer” in July 2024 and the subsequent release of “Liars & Thieves” in October 2024 and title track “Blood Dynasty” in December 2024, “Paper Tiger” marks the fourth single offering from the highly anticipated album. The track delivers Arch Enemy’s signature blend of powerful guitar riffs and dynamic vocals, showcasing the band’s evolution while staying true to their roots.

The metal legends are set to ignite stages across Europe on their new Blood Dynasty headline tour in autumn/winter 2025. Joining them on their unrelenting metal crusade are the mighty Amorphis and Eluveitte as co-special guests, with the crushing force of Gatekeeper poised to blast open the gates of chaos. The U.K. leg lays waste to Wolverhampton, Manchester (on Halloween no less), and London.
