Arch Enemy Confirms Split with Vocalist Alissa White-Gluz

Arch Enemy has confirmed that they are officially parting ways with singer Alissa White-Gluz, marking the end of an 11-year chapter in the band’s history. The announcement came over the weekend, catching many fans off guard and sparking immediate conversation across the metal world.

White-Gluz joined the band in 2014 and quickly became a defining voice of their modern era. Her powerful growls, sharp clarity, and unmistakable stage intensity helped push Arch Enemy into some of their biggest tours and strongest album cycles to date. Under her leadership, the band continued to grow internationally and remained one of the most recognizable names in melodic death metal.

The band’s statement did not share specific reasons behind the separation, but it emphasized appreciation for her years of work and hinted that Arch Enemy is already looking ahead to its next phase. They also suggested that the band will be back in full force in 2026, though they’ve remained silent on who will step into the role of lead vocalist.

White-Gluz has not yet issued her own public response, leaving fans waiting to hear her side or learn whether she plans to move forward with new music or a different project.

For now, Arch Enemy enters a new period of transition — one that could reshape their sound and identity once again. With a new album cycle likely on the horizon and a vocalist announcement still to come, the band’s next move is already one of the most anticipated stories in metal.
