"The lyrics have such a deep meaning!" Weak and sick I crawl In the dust of past mistakes Leaving for the darkness Of tears and cold heartaches Suffer in this grief Of forever burning hate The ashes of my life By the torment you create On my knees... remembering The wasted years of dark insanity The rage increases fast As the memories eat me alive God, I wish this to end But I'm not prepared to die No more a human being Just a fool of anxiety Unable to escape The darkest insanity
I am 46 years old. I have a music degree, and have been playing for a living for over 20 years. This music take a lot if talent to create. I understand that not everyone likes it, but it is very challenging to play. I think it is pure genious.
Agreed! And even more ingenious to write! Lyrically and musically. I love it! The craft, the artisanship, the message, the vibe, the energy, the music. All of it.
Angela has so much more stage power than Alissa in my opinion.. Saw them live twice, one time with Angela, one time with Alissa, both were fucking amazing shows, but I'd give anything to see Angela perform again !
Johan was good and got AE on the radar, but Angela really made them something else entirely. This cover proves that extremely well, I like this better than the original. Angela's more forceful vocals really help sell the song.
Seriously, the more I listen to Arch enemy, the more I like them. Didn't like them that much before, but they kick ass. Love Angela. I'd totally marry her xD
What I find rather impressive is that the lady can keep that up without ripping her vocal chords out; must be some pretty impressive technique there. Which reminds me... am I imagining things or is her posture when she's actually singing kinda similar to what Rob Halford uses nowadays? Ten bucks says in both cases it's some kind of technical thing to preserve their throats.

Wow. These guys...and Gal just won't stop. Album after Album of incredible music. I was worried they would fall into the trap of everything sounding the same. But they manage to keep it fresh and gives us something a little different each time. A++++
holy fucking SHIT Angela's vocals on this song are just phenomenal. better than the RoAE album ver possibly, better than johans vocals on Black Earth DEFINITELY! So much more dynamic and powerful, brutal - he just monotonously shouted through the song(s). Normally the guitarwork gets the most attention from me in an AE song, but DAMN.
They're so good, it sounds like they recorded over and just acted like they were playing. Not many bands are good at both recording AND playing live..She's my metal idol :D
Great growling voice, clear, crispy drums and guitars. The CD versions shoud be re-edited to match this performance, not forgetting to add the last three GROWLS in this perfect order. Angela should have them registered as a patent !!! ^v^ Arch Enemy rules! ^v^ @AriaNycyus - I fully agree. I recommend their Tyrants-live-DVD, if you don't have it yet anyway... you'll find this piece and much more in same perfect quality.
I don't see arrogance. I see one helluva stage presence. I think Angela is amazing and is the perfect front person for Arch Enemy. I love everything about her and this band.
You can all criticize Liiva all you want, but he was a good vocalist and he did a great job with the songs he had with Arch Enemy. I like Angela too, but Liiva had a great raw feel with his vocals. He wasn't bad at all.
Ramon na verdade Ângela não deixou a banda,ela meio que virou "chefe" e ajuda com a administração dos shows etc,Alissa vem evoluindo muito com Angela ao seu lado
Stop comparing them. I am tired of hering this. Just listen to music. Plus, Alissa can do clean vocals and has a deeper range, she doesn't try to be a copy of Angela.
@mynameisTABARNAK I had watched youtube vids of their live DVD wondering if I should get it, but once you get the DVD you'll be blown away at the performance, definitely get it you won't be disappointed!
If only this band didn't have the death metal growls I would be in love with it. One can only hope I guess. The guitar riff was amazing, but the singing kills me.
@DemonizedAlucard Yeah she definitely does better melodeath growls than Liiva. I'm just saying she is doing deeper growls than usual on this song and it sounds great and she should do it more.
I play this song when people are over and they're like "That dudes pretty brutal." or something like that and then I let them watch and they're like "Are you fucking serious!?!?!" hahaha
@jixaopl ehh I think they're considered death metal (more melody focused though). They have all the key elements, minus the over-the-top stage blood which I find a bit out-dated and ridiculous. Some people might try and dispute that, but really who doesn't want Angela included amongst them? She's rockin' in so many ways.
I'm not really an Arch Enemy fan, but this sounds pretty decent. Her vocals are deeper than the bark she uses on newer stuff (because Liiva had a better growl?) and the riffs definitely stay heavy instead of stressing the melody. If Arch Enemy didn't put out the death metal lite they do nowadays and went back to this formula, they'd sound a lot better.
"The lyrics have such a deep meaning!"
Weak and sick I crawl
In the dust of past mistakes
Leaving for the darkness
Of tears and cold heartaches
Suffer in this grief
Of forever burning hate
The ashes of my life
By the torment you create
On my knees... remembering
The wasted years of dark insanity
The rage increases fast
As the memories eat me alive
God, I wish this to end
But I'm not prepared to die
No more a human being
Just a fool of anxiety
Unable to escape
The darkest insanity

Wow, Angela's vocals are stunning in this one!
Angela was hands down the best female death singer out there, stage presence of the Dark Goddess
Not just female IMO
That's why Angela Gossow is my favorite vocalist of all time
Angela has so much more stage power than Alissa in my opinion..
Saw them live twice, one time with Angela, one time with Alissa, both were fucking amazing shows, but I'd give anything to see Angela perform again !
What about Johan?
+Lars Bo Nepper he was amazing too, but Angela is beast, but it is just my opinion
He was not as spot on as angela was. Liva was a angle grinder where angela was a laser scalpell.
Johan was good and got AE on the radar, but Angela really made them something else entirely. This cover proves that extremely well, I like this better than the original. Angela's more forceful vocals really help sell the song.
Johan got them on their feet. Angela made them the worldwide name that they are.
Arch Enemy one of the best metal bands out there. The music always just blows my mind.
I like that Angela never needed to look or dress extreme with piercings and weird hairstyles in order to perform well unlike Alisa
I am from the 80s but without anydoubt one of the best band nowdays!!! Thanks for sharing it
Seriously, the more I listen to Arch enemy, the more I like them. Didn't like them that much before, but they kick ass. Love Angela. I'd totally marry her xD
That was awesome :3 Faith in humanity restored.
Just look at all of them, they're enjoying playing this so much, it's insanely good.
Wow! Angela, you're amazing!
Amazing band. One of the best live performances ever. If you don't believe me, see them in person or at least watch the dvd.
What I find rather impressive is that the lady can keep that up without ripping her vocal chords out; must be some pretty impressive technique there. Which reminds me... am I imagining things or is her posture when she's actually singing kinda similar to what Rob Halford uses nowadays?

3:03 That Growl.. SHIET!!! BADASS ANGELA
Weak and sick I crawl

Such a good performance of Angela. And this song is the song, cool in the studio version and also on this live version.
Super,Labombastic,Fantastic,Školasti!!!!!!👍👏🤘😍🏍️💓🤝🙏🧠😇
Angela is the only person i have seen that makes white look more metal than black lmao, i love this song so much, cheers for the upload :)
bravissima Angela!
Wow! Angela, you are amazing!
Angel is always gonna be the best.
holy fucking SHIT Angela's vocals on this song are just phenomenal. better than the RoAE album ver possibly, better than johans vocals on Black Earth DEFINITELY! So much more dynamic and powerful, brutal - he just monotonously shouted through the song(s).

I really wish I could have seen Arch Enemy lice with Angela
Yes, she came once to my country and I couldn't because of money, and now there's no chance, but makes me happy that I saw them with Alissa :)
You really did miss out. Alissa is great but Angela was on a completely different level.
I got see her preform once in a lifetime experience. Never got to see pantera but I got to arch enemy with anglea epic indeed.
Me too
Another awesome video from arch enemy they are brilliant death metal band ever 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘10000% awesome video
i was sitting with my mouth open staring with goose skin at 2:36 :o the fucking most perfect verse i have ever heard.
Serei eternamente fã do Arch Enemy ❤️
:D He does write some awesome stuff. One of the best musicians out there imo. And definatly the best guitar duo.
What a powerful band! What a powerful voice! Arch Enemy!
I love this GIRL! The music of ARCH ENEMY KICKS ASSES!!!!
I'm so sad l haven't visited her last tour in Russia.... I had a chance but I didn't think that il was her last tour as vocalist of Arch Enemy.
I don't see arrogance. I see one helluva stage presence. I think Angela is amazing and is the perfect front person for Arch Enemy. I love everything about her and this band.
Pure Fucking Metal!
She has an amazing cookie monster voice. This music is high quality metal.
saw them is oz a lightyear ago. i miss live music like this
You can all criticize Liiva all you want, but he was a good vocalist and he did a great job with the songs he had with Arch Enemy. I like Angela too, but Liiva had a great raw feel with his vocals. He wasn't bad at all.
bruh ...
she got them growls on point
This one totaly changed my toughts about female metal singers
essa mulher e melhor vocalista da terra sou louco por ela
Realmente foi uma das mulheres mais épicas que vi no Death Metal, pena que ela deixou a banda há uns três anos atrás =/
Ramon na verdade Ângela não deixou a banda,ela meio que virou "chefe" e ajuda com a administração dos shows etc,Alissa vem evoluindo muito com Angela ao seu lado
One of the best heavy metal live ever
2:36 eargasm 'til the end
Wow!!!
Her growls in this one... Perfect.... fucking perfect...
OMG, Angela is great!
Those are awesome guitars!! and dRUM SET
alissa will never ever have this kind of power on stage.. she is good, but not as angela...
Stop comparing them. I am tired of hering this. Just listen to music. Plus, Alissa can do clean vocals and has a deeper range, she doesn't try to be a copy of Angela.
@AnthonyKnight do you know the meaning of FUCK YOU.......
FUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK YYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUU
they are definitely different. but both are great.
They´re so awesome live.
excellent live performance. hell ya
great songwriting, crushing dual guitar leads, hot babe lead singer with metal cred, what more do you need ?
I couldn't really finish Johan's version because it sounded more like he was yelling, not growling. Angela is a far better vocalist than Johan.
She is so freakin amazing...
I will always love you Angela
way better than the original version
Angela is a beast.....
omfg this is amazing hell yeahhhh
Rock of remarkable quality
@mynameisTABARNAK - Get this dvd, you will be blown away. They are absolutely amazing live.
Amott brothers are the Best Beast on guitars!!! \m/
@mynameisTABARNAK I had watched youtube vids of their live DVD wondering if I should get it, but once you get the DVD you'll be blown away at the performance, definitely get it you won't be disappointed!
Anyone else think they should release a dvd with Angela and Alyssa? Be killer!!
tu e doido , que mulher e essa ,foda demaisssssss.
If only this band didn't have the death metal growls I would be in love with it. One can only hope I guess. The guitar riff was amazing, but the singing kills me.
yeah amazing guitars
this is pretty mindblowing:>
This band is Bad Ass! Love it! \m/
Man this video made my Day I love this song
Death Metal FTW
amazing solo by chris
Awesome. Hail Arch Enemy.
O holy shit. Great! Pozdrowienia z Polski!
2:01 esa melodia me recuerda a la de Hammer Smashed Face de Cannibal corpse
Angela will live forever in my mind
Yes...
Angelaaaaa...yessssss
This band is pure talent! O.o
That womam have the power \o
Angela is possibly the bets growler out there.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah, there are good new band. Like As Eden Burns and Brother Von Doom(Both Melodic Death Metal.) Warpath, Woe, and Svartsot.
I wonder how well Alissa can perform this song
@ShadowxMaker
Can't tell you to piss off for that one xD I would like to hear those screams everywhere xD
I saw them in Warsaw, when they were in Poland for the first time. Fuckin' best concert I've ever been to! :D
the only words i can find to describe Angela are Goddess of crushing awesomeness
I just had the best ear ogasm EVER!!!!!
@DemonizedAlucard
Yeah she definitely does better melodeath growls than Liiva. I'm just saying she is doing deeper growls than usual on this song and it sounds great and she should do it more.
Perfection!
la mejor banda con mujer vocalista!!!
I like it. She is so sweet!
I play this song when people are over and they're like "That dudes pretty brutal." or something like that and then I let them watch and they're like "Are you fucking serious!?!?!" hahaha
damn, that solo rocks
pure....EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!
o rock é maravilhoso ..com essa mulher entao....
Will allway like more the studio version with the old singer... suits better for this. And the song itself is awesome. :)
@jixaopl ehh I think they're considered death metal (more melody focused though). They have all the key elements, minus the over-the-top stage blood which I find a bit out-dated and ridiculous.

Rock on Pastor Dave.

Amazing!
@Nosensefornonsense yeah i know man its still safe cant wait to see em this year again!!!! :)
