Arch Enemy Announce Departure of Alissa White-Gluz as Vocalist; Alissa Launches Solo Career With Powerful First Single

 

In a move that stunned the metal community, Arch Enemy have officially announced that they are parting ways with longtime vocalist Alissa White-Gluz. The band shared a succinct but respectful statement early this morning, confirming that after more than a decade together, both sides are “moving forward on different creative paths.”

 

Alissa, who joined Arch Enemy in 2014 and became one of the most recognizable and influential voices in modern metal, released her own statement minutes later—one filled with gratitude, clarity, and a spark of bold determination. “This is not an ending,” she wrote. “This is evolution. I’m stepping into a new chapter that I’ve dreamed about for years, and I’m finally ready to build something of my own.”

 

Within hours of the announcement, Alissa unveiled her debut solo single, a fierce, cinematic track that blends her signature growls with soaring clean vocals and sweeping orchestral layers. The song—described by early listeners as “raw, empowering, and unapologetically personal”—immediately ignited excitement across social media, trending within the metal community worldwide. Fans praised the track as a powerful declaration of artistic independence, while musicians across the scene shared messages of support.

 

For Arch Enemy, Alissa’s exit marks the end of a major era. Since joining the band, she performed on three studio albums, countless tours, and helped propel the group into one of the most dominant forces in melodic death metal. The band’s statement emphasized mutual respect and highlighted the “incredible moments” they had created together onstage and in the studio. They also confirmed that new music is in the works and that a new vocalist will be revealed “in due time.”

 

Alissa’s solo direction appears to be more experimental—blending metal, alternative elements, and dramatic production into what she called a “soundscape that reflects every part of who I am.” She confirmed that a full-length solo album is already in progress, along with plans for an international tour in 2026.

 

While the separation is bittersweet for fans, the mood driving both announcements is one of growth rather than conflict. Arch Enemy are preparing for a new chapter with a fresh voice, and Alissa White-Gluz is stepping boldly into her own spotlight, armed with a sound—and a message—that’s entirely hers.
