ARCH ENEMY AND ALISSA WHITE-GLUZ PART WAYS

FUCK!

Arch Enemy and their lead singer, Alissa White-Gluz, have parted ways.

"After 12 years in Arch Enemy, we have parted ways," White-Gluz posted on Instagram. "I am forever thankful to the thousands of amazing fans I have met along the way. Thank you, Beastlings!"

"I can’t wait to share what I have been working on with you all (with some big surprises in store). Stay tuned for big news in 2026 and see you very soon."

Having first made her name in Canadian metal group the Agonist, White-Gluz joined Arch Enemy in 2014, replacing their former vocalist Angela Gossow. With them, she released four studio albums — War Eternal, Will to Power, Deceivers and, earlier this year, Blood Dynasty — as well as two live albums, Tokyo Sacrifice and As the Stages Burn!.

White-Gluz has also served as a coveted guest vocalist, appearing on songs by Lamb of God's Mark Morton, Twisted Sister's Dee Snider, Kat Von D, Alice Cooper shredder Nita Strauss, Soilwork, Carnifex, Kamelot, Delain and others. Most recently, she teamed with Anthrax's Charlie Benante and Soundgarden's Kim Thayil for a cover of the grunge giants' “The Day I Tried to Live” for the supergroup tribute project King Ultramega.

Below are a few Arch Enemy songs featuring Alissa White-Gluz on vocals:

Just hours later, White-Gluz premiered "The Room Where She Died" along with its music video. She said of the song that it "feels truly satisfying to me; like I get to express myself in so many ways that have been dormant for years." She added of her solo record: "This upcoming album is diverse; and I love the idea of opening up this new chapter with this song and video, which I wrote the script for."
