Arch Enemy made the shocking announcement this morning (November 23rd) that they have parted ways with their vocalist Alissa White-Gluz. The Swedish melodic death metal band welcomed Alissa into their lineup back in 2014, replacing Angela Gossow, who went on to manage the outfit. In a statement newly shared via the band\u2019s social media today, Arch Enemy offered:<\/p>\n
\u201cArch Enemy have parted ways with singer Alissa White-Gluz. We\u2019re thankful for the time and music we\u2019ve shared and wish her all the best.<\/p>\n
Wherever there is an ending, there is also a beginning.<\/p>\n
See you in 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a personal statement shared via her own social media, Alissa issued the following of her departure:<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter 12 years in Arch Enemy, we have parted ways. I am forever thankful to the thousands of amazing fans I have met along the way.<\/p>\n
Thank you, Beastlings!
I can\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shortly after issuing that statement Alissa issued the below video for \u201cThe Room Where She Died\u201d from her long-gestating solo album. She co-wrote that track with Oliver Palotai (Kamelot\/Doro Pesch) and had the following to say about it:<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope you love this first offering from my upcoming solo album. You can watch the whole video on my YouTube Channel.<\/p>\n
\u2018The Room Where She Died\u2018 is a song that feels truly satisfying to me; like I get to express myself in so many ways that have been dormant for years. 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.<\/p>\n
Can\u2019t wait to share more with you!\u201d<\/p>\n
Studio drumming on the song was handled by Kamelot, etc. drummer Alex Landenburg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arch Enemy made the shocking announcement this morning (November 23rd) that they have parted ways with their vocalist…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":155927,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[75404,75403,93,61,60,278],"class_list":{"0":"post-155926","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-alissa-white-gluz","9":"tag-arch-enemy","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-music"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=155926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/155927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=155926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=155926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=155926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
