Arch Enemy has some exciting news for their fans.
The Swedish band announced on Instagram that they will embark on their Wrath Across North America Tour this fall, alongside The Black Dahlia Murder. The lineup of shows will kick off on Oct. 5 in Riverside, California, then end in Seattle on Nov. 5. Arch Enemy will also be making stops in Phoenix, Denver, Dallas, San Antonio, Orlando, Philadelphia, Toronto, Chicago, Cleveland, Calgary and more. Special guests SEPTICFLESH, CRYPTA and Thrown Into Exile will also be joining them as their opening acts.
“We are thrilled to announce the WRATH ACROSS NORTH AMERICA 2026 tour, alongside our friends in @theblackdahliamurder_official!” Arch Enemy wrote in their caption. “This is going to be pure devastation from start to finish. You do not want to miss this pit!”

Arch Enemy was formed in Halmstad, Sweden, in 1995 by Michael Amott and Johan Liiva. Originally conceived as something of a supergroup, the band has since featured members from acts such as Carcass, Carnage, Mercyful Fate, Spiritual Beggars, The Agonist, Nevermore, Eucharist, Armageddon and Once Human. The current lineup includes Amott, Daniel Erlandsson, Sharlee D’Angelo, Joey Concepcion and Lauren Hart.
Arch Enemy released their debut album, Black Earth, a year after their formation, and it only took them nine days to record. Since then, they have released 11 more studio albums, with Blood Dynasty being their most recent record.

The last time Arch Enemy toured around North America wasn’t too long ago. The metal supergroup embarked on their North American Blood Dynasty Tour last April and May.
Amott is “proud to announce [their] return,” saying that these shows are “built for those who live and breathe PURE [explicit] METAL.”
“We are proud to announce our return, joined by the formidable BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, alongside special guests SEPTICFLESH, CRYPTA and THROWN INTO EXILE,” Amott added in the caption. “We look forward to bringing you a new era of ARCH ENEMY to a city near [you .] Be there!”
This will also be the first North American tour where their new vocalist, Hart, who was originally the vocalist for the band Once Human, will be joining them as their frontwoman. Hart replaced Alissa White-Gluz earlier this year, after White-Gluz decided to leave to pursue a solo career.
“We received many applications from great vocalists all over the world,” Angela Gossow, Arch Enemy’s current manager and former singer, said about Hart in an Instagram post she shared in February. “I put Lauren forward to the guys. Michael connected. She recorded vocals in December 2025. She rose. Like a Phoenix to the sky. So intense. So glorious.”
