Fat Bastard is noted for his foul temper, his frequent flatulence, his vulgar and revolting bad manners and his unusual eating habits, which include cannibalism, more specifically a taste for human infants (which he calls "the other other white meat") or anything that looks like a baby, "e.g." midgets/dwarves, by which even Dr. Evil is grossed out.

Arch Enemy moderate success in Sweden. Many consider it to be the band's most aggressive album, a trait that was softened on following releases. After the release of "Black Earth" the band switched labels, signing a contract with Century Media. In 1998 Arch Enemy released "Stigmata", for which bassist Martin Bengtsson and drummer Peter Wildoer joined the band. The album gained a wider audience and popularity in Europe and America. This was also the first Arch Enemy album to be released worldwide. In 1999, Sharlee D'Angelo assumed the role of Arch Enemy's bassist, and Daniel Erlandsson was again recruited as the drummer.
