  Arch Enemy Interview
Luckily, Michael Amott was able to forge ahead, complete the album and was able to plug in the vacated position for the summer by enlisting the help of Gus G. (Dream Evil) to fill in for last year’s spot on Ozzfest.
Michael: Well no, he originally told us that he was going to go back to school himself but then I don’t know what happened and he got this job offer and he took that instead.
Michael: Well I think some people say, “Oh they don’t hang!” “They’re not cool!”… When we’re on the road, we love meeting fans, I always try to meet the fans as much as possible; they are the reason why we’re all here but… Sometimes we come off as being antisocial.

Guitarist Michael Amott is best known for his groove-heavy work in the death metal arena (late-period Carcass, Arch Enemy), but the Spiritual Beggars provided an outlet for his retro hard rock impulses, and in the process became one of the stoner metal movement's best-kept secrets.
Amott formed the Beggars in Halmstad, Sweden, and employed a classic power-trio format, featuring bassist/vocalist Spice and drummer Ludwig Witt (who also played with ex-Carcass member Bill Steer's stoner band Firebird).
The Spiritual Beggars debuted with a self-titled album in 1994, shortly after Amott departed Carcass.

 Stigmata: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com
Realistically, the tightly constructed production was to be expected, and the real driving force behind Arch Enemy 's success -- Amott's guitar work -- is definitely present.
On the negative side, vocalist Johan Liiva doesn't do much except stay out of the way, and the addition of Peter Wildoer on drums (in place of Daniel Erlandsson) doesn't help either.
These problems are really minor when balanced against Amott's massive playing and songwriting, so while Stigmata is a fraction off from the band's debut form, Arch Enemy still delivers some nice melodic death metal on the sophomore effort.
