We’re the band that refuses to die. Guitarist Michael Amott laughs as he speaks, reflecting on his Spiritual Beggars 20 year career. He’s best known as the axeman and founder of melodic death metal icons Arch Enemy, but his beloved vintage style hard rock outfit was launched in 1992 – four years earlier – and now has nine albums to its name with the release of new opus, Sunrise To Sundown. Amott finds Spiritual Beggars longevity amusing due to the simple fact he and his bandmates never really know if or when a new album is going to see the light of day from year to year. It all comes down to a mix of scheduling, downtime and inspiration. The birth of Sunrise To Sundown comes three years after their critically acclaimed Earth Blues record, which is something of a surprise in that Amott and bassist Sharlee D’Angelo have spent the better part of the last two years on tour with Arch Enemy. It turns out the Spiritual Beggars have spent those last couple years writing in fits and starts, using short breaks in Arch Enemy’s gruelling schedule to get the work done. “Instead of being a normal person and taking time off when we have a break, I just get right back into the music and work on a different project,” says Amott. “I was doing Spiritual Beggars while I was still in Carcass (1990 – 1993), so it kind of overlapped in the last year with them. When I left Carcass it was because I wanted to do my own thing. I thought I’d do Spiritual Beggars for a while, and a few years later I put Arch Enemy together. Music makes me happy. It’s what I want to do.” Live Fire is the bands first live dvd and it was recorded at the Mean Fiddler in London in April of 2003.
