The band's original guitarist, Christopher Amott, has rejoined the band, after taking two years off. He left the band for personal reasons, after ten years, but decided the time is right to return to guitar duties.

 

According to Metal Hammer, on the subject of his return, Christopher said, "This is very exciting for me, returning to ARCH ENEMY as a full-time member! Right now we are working on our forthcoming album and I'm very pleased about the way it's turning out. The new songs are fast and furious with lots of melody! To all the people who sent me kind messages while I was out of the band, thank you for your support, it helped me a lot. After this (much needed) two-year break, I'm looking forward to getting back on the road. I hope to see you all later this year!"

 

The rest of the band has said they're thrilled he's back in the band, and while they're working on a new album, he's been able to add his signature style to the album that was already in progress when he re-joined.
