After more than a decade of shared musical history, Arch Enemy and their frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz are going their separate ways. The news, announced on November 23, 2025, marks the end of an era for one of modern melodic death metal’s most defining voices.
The Canadian singer had joined Arch Enemy from The Agonist in 2014, taking over the legacy from Angela Gossow. With her distinctive voice and charismatic stage presence, she played a decisive role in shaping the band’s sound. Together, they released successful albums including War Eternal, Will to Power, Deceivers, and most recently Blood Dynasty (2025)—a work that will now be remembered as her final studio album with the band.
In a brief statement, the band thanked their former frontwoman for the collaboration and wished her all the best for the future. The exact reasons behind the split remain unclear—neither internal differences nor artistic disagreements have been officially confirmed. Alissa White-Gluz herself has only addressed her decision in general terms.
This separation ends an era in which Alissa White-Gluz led Arch Enemy to worldwide popularity, headlined major festivals, and set new standards in female-fronted metal with her combination of growls and clean vocals.
What comes next remains uncertain: no successor has been announced yet, and Alissa has not confirmed any new musical plans. Speculation about a solo project or future collaborations is already circulating, but has remained uncommented upon so far.
For fans, the split is both a shocking moment and the beginning of a new chapter—for Arch Enemy as well as for Alissa White-Gluz. One thing is certain: both have left their mark on metal history, and their future paths will be followed with great anticipation.
