Netflix Announces “New Era: It’s Time” – A Groundbreaking Arch Enemy: An Alissa White-Gluz Documentary

 

Netflix has officially announced a new original documentary titled “New Era: It’s Time”, a powerful and deeply personal exploration of Arch Enemy and their fearless frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz. Set to premiere globally in early 2026, the film promises to deliver an unprecedented look into the evolution of one of modern metal’s most influential bands — and the woman who redefined what it means to lead in a genre long dominated by men.

 

Produced by Netflix Music Originals in collaboration with Century Media Records, the documentary captures the raw essence of Arch Enemy’s rise, from their melodic death metal roots to their global acclaim as a powerhouse of resilience and reinvention. At its core lies Alissa White-Gluz — a vocalist whose unmatched growls, striking blue hair, and unrelenting stage presence have become symbols of empowerment and rebellion across the world.

 

“New Era: It’s Time” traces Alissa’s journey from her early days in The Agonist to becoming the face of Arch Enemy in 2014 — a transition that sparked both controversy and celebration among fans. Through candid interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and never-before-seen concert moments, the film explores the challenges of balancing artistry, identity, and authenticity in a demanding industry.

 

Alissa opens up about her struggles and triumphs — from navigating sexism and burnout to maintaining her vegan, straight-edge lifestyle on tour. Viewers will also get exclusive glimpses into the band’s creative process during the making of albums like War Eternal and Deceivers, as well as emotional reflections from bandmates Michael Amott, Daniel Erlandsson, and Sharlee D’Angelo.

 

The documentary’s director, Sophie Day (known for “Metal Hearts: The Women Who Roar”), describes it as “a story of transformation, power, and purpose — not just in music, but in life itself.” Visually striking and sonically intense, “New Era: It’s Time” pairs Arch Enemy’s thunderous performances with cinematic storytelling and personal vulnerability rarely seen in the metal scene.

 

For fans of heavy music and those inspired by stories of perseverance, “New Era: It’s Time” is set to be more than a documentary — it’s an anthem of self-determination and evolution. As Alissa herself says in the film’s teaser: “This isn’t just metal. This is who I am — and it’s time the world sees it.”
