Netflix has officially announced a new exclusive documentary chronicling the life and career of Alissa White-Gluz, frontwoman of the melodic death metal band Arch Enemy. According to the announcement, the film will be the first major feature focusing intimately on her artistic journey, challenges, and rise to prominence in a genre long dominated by male voices.
Titled (though not yet confirmed) as an Arch Enemy / Alissa White-Gluz documentary, the production is expected to dig deep into both her personal and professional life — from her early roots in music, through her joining Arch Enemy, to the band’s recent work and touring. The documentary aims not just to celebrate her as a vocalist, but to provide insight into what it takes to lead a metal band on the global stage, with all the struggles, sacrifices, and triumphs that come with it.
Netflix’s involvement as an exclusive distributor suggests the film will be rolled out worldwide on its streaming platform, giving fans in all regions access to it. While no official release date has been confirmed yet, anticipation is already building among metal fans and the broader music documentary community alike. The announcement was shared via social media channels and music news circles.
For Arch Enemy, this comes at a moment of momentum. Their most recent album, Blood Dynasty, was released earlier this year, and the band has already announced a deluxe edition hitting shelves on October 10, 2025 — complete with bonus tracks including “Break the Spell,” “Moths,” and the previously unreleased “Lachrymatory.” They are also gearing up for an extensive European tour this fall.
Given the timing, the documentary will likely intertwine with the Blood Dynasty campaign and live tour, offering behind-the-scenes glimpses, archival footage, candid interviews, and possibly access to rehearsals, studio sessions, and backstage life on the road. For fans new or old, it presents an opportunity to understand not just the public persona, but the human story behind the screaming vocals and heavy riffs.
In many ways, this documentary could help broaden the reach of both Alissa and Arch Enemy — bridging the divide between extreme metal and mainstream audiences curious about the inner workings of a band that shatters stereotypes. As Netflix continues to invest in music and culture documentaries, this release underscores their willingness to spotlight powerful voices from all corners of the music world.
