ARCH ENEMY have parted ways with guitarist Christopher Amott (left) in an amicable split.

Christopher Amott was a member of the band between 1996-2005 and again between 2007-2011.

ARCH ENEMY are pleased to welcome 26 year old American guitarist Nick Cordle (right) on board as they continue their touring activity following the release of their recent 'Khaos Legions' (2011) album.

NICK studied jazz and music theory at the University of Virginia from 2003 to 2007 but remains self taught in the ways of "shred" and metal.

Shortly thereafter, he joined American death metal band ARSIS playing bass and guitar over a three year period performing with them on various tours and countless gigs as well as performing and writing on their most recent album 'Starve For The Devil' (2010).
