The question every Arch Enemy fan has been sitting with since fall 2025 â what the band sounds like with a new frontwoman â gets its North American answer this October. Lauren Hart, who replaced Alissa White-Gluz in February 2026 and made her live debut with the band in March, brings what the band’s own site calls “raw, unbridled energy and a commanding vocal ferocity” to Dallas on Sunday, October 11.
About the Show
The Dallas stop is part of the co-headlining Wrath Across North America 2026 run, pairing Arch Enemy with The Black Dahlia Murder for a joint headline bill running October 5 through November 16. Septicflesh, Crypta, and Thrown Into Exile round out the five-band lineup. Confirmed markets on the run include Riverside, New York, Chicago, Toronto, and Vancouver.
Both co-headliners arrive having navigated significant lineup transformations. Arch Enemy, founded in Halmstad, Sweden in 1996 by guitarist Michael Amott of Carcass, has been described as a melodic death metal super group, with members drawn from Carcass, Mercyful Fate, and Spiritual Beggars. Hart, the band’s fourth vocalist and formerly of Once Human, made her live debut with the group in March 2026, months after the February release of debut single “To the Last Breath.” Amott described the song as being about “seeing through deception and dismantling the illusion of control.” White-Gluz, her predecessor, departed in fall 2025 and subsequently joined DragonForce.
The Black Dahlia Murder’s Servitude (September 2024) is their 10th studio album and the first recorded with Brian Eschbach as lead vocalist. Eschbach moved from rhythm guitar to frontman following the May 2022 passing of founding vocalist Trevor Strnad; the reconstituted lineup debuted in Detroit that October. “I just had to lean into it hard,” he said of the vocal transition. Servitude was also guitarist Ryan Knight’s first album with the band since 2015’s Abysmal. Amott’s framing of the assembled bill leaves little ambiguity: “An exceptional lineup, built for those who live and breathe pure fucking metal.”
Venue & Logistics
