Arch Enemy and Alissa White-Gluz Part Ways After 12 Years
Big news has just dropped in the metal world—Arch Enemy and their longtime frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz have officially parted ways. The announcement came early this morning, catching many fans off guard. The band released a concise statement saying, “Arch Enemy have parted ways with singer Alissa White-Gluz.

For Alissa, this marks the closing of a significant chapter. She first joined Arch Enemy back in 2014, stepping in as Angela Gossow’s successor, and quickly became an iconic figure in the band’s sound and image. During her tenure, she lent her voice to four major albums: War Eternal (2014), Will to Power (2017), Deceivers (2022), and most recently, Blood Dynasty earlier this year, which now stands as her final album with the band.
Alissa also made waves outside of Arch Enemy, collaborating with artists like Nita Strauss, Babymetal, and Charlotte Wessels, and even joining a tribute project with Soundgarden’s Kim Thayil and Anthrax’s drummer. Her influence and presence have been felt strongly throughout the metal community, so this announcement is resonating widely.
On her part, Alissa shared a heartfelt message to fans, reflecting on her twelve years with Arch Enemy and expressing gratitude for the support she’s received. She also teased an exciting new solo chapter, announcing her very first solo single, The Room Where She Died , co-written with Kamelot and Doro guitarist Oliver Palotai. She described the track as deeply satisfying, a way to explore musical expressions that had been dormant for years, and promised a full solo album to follow in 2026.
While fans may feel a mix of shock and sadness at the news, there’s a clear sense of optimism in the air. As the band’s statement reminded everyone, “Wherever there is an end, there is also a beginning.” Arch Enemy has yet to announce who will step in as their next vocalist, and the metal community will be eagerly watching to see how this next chapter unfolds.
For now, both Arch Enemy and Alissa White-Gluz are moving forward, each with new projects and paths, leaving behind an era that was defined by some of the most intense and memorable metal releases of the past decade.
