Gli Arch Enemy hanno deciso con il prossimo tour europeo di supportare la causa di Amnesty International nella lotta contro la repressione violenta e l’oppressione, prendendo parte quindi alla campagna internazionale per la libertà di espressione.
Ecco il commento di Angela Gossow:

"Many people sacrifice their lives to fight against terror, crime and oppression. They are being brutally murdered or imprisoned for simply communicating the truth. In honor of their outstanding courage and to bring justice to them (and the generations to come), it is important to support the cause and keep fighting for freedom! Each one of us can do something: Spread the word amongst your social network (sites), sign petitions, donate money, join peaceful demonstrations — pick your activism of choice! End repression. Allow expression!"

E quanto aggiunge Jo Metcalf, direttore di Art for Amnesty:

"We’re thrilled that ARCH ENEMY are supporting our work on freedom of expression. We’re lucky to have the support of musicians and other artists who fully appreciate the value of being able to express their creativity without fear of arrest or worse. In some parts of the world, pursuing a creative goal — or just speaking freely — can lead to harassment, loss of freedom and even torture. I hope that everyone who comes to an ARCH ENEMY gig — not least to witness ARCH ENEMY’s amazing show — gets involved in supporting Amnesty’s work in this area."
