LIVE ON TOUR
She chose Alissa White-Gluz to take over her role as vocalist. Long before the band took the stage at the Violet Vault Club, fans were filling out the floor, with a large number carrying merchandise that they had purchased from Arch Enemy's street team. The sold out show in Singapore was the band's only Southeast Asian date of the tour, with the band taking off for China the day after. The raucous crowd even cleared the floor to make way for a fan in a wheelchair, cheering him on and drowning the venue in applause. The lights dimmed at exactly 8pm and the band burst onstage with 'The World Is Yours', the lead single off the band's album Will To Power. Arch Enemy went on to play hits like 'War Eternal', 'Bloodstained Cross' and more, giving fans a little bit of everything from the band's illustrious year-long career. It was evident that on that night, Arch Enemy proved that they were a long way away from the end of their careers, as the band sounded better than they had in recent years. Loomis led the charge on majority of the guitar solos, though he did take a back step to let Michael Amott, the band's founding guitarist, revel in instrumentals.
