The World Is Yoursby Arch Enemy

With the 2017 release of Will to Power, Arch Enemy proves that after 20 years and with a fresh young vocalist, its sound not only stays relevant, but proves that the genre of melodic death metal is still relevant as well. Where bands such as In Flames have arguably strayed from the sound they helped create, Arch Enemy doubled down. Out of any of the songs on the album, The World is Yours stands out – and not just for the commercial success around the release of the single.

By emulating the anthemic, politically-charged theme that characterized the classic Nemesis, the song represents how Arch Enemy’s sound stays true to its roots while exploring new territory. Alissa White-Gluz truly shines as a vocalist on this track, with her unique and ferocious sound showing how the band has evolved since the departure of Angela Gossow. Older fans who were dismayed by the change should come around after hearing the way this song blends the old and new.
