Arch Enemy Parts Ways with Alissa White-Gluz After 12 Years

Swedish melodic death metal band Arch Enemy announced on Sunday that they have parted ways with lead vocalist Alissa White-Gluz after nearly 12 years together. The split, revealed through social media posts by both the band and the Canadian singer, comes just a week after Arch Enemy concluded their European Blood Dynasty 2025 tour.

In a brief statement, the band expressed gratitude for their collaboration. "Arch Enemy have parted ways with singer Alissa White-Gluz," it read. "We're thankful for the time and music we've shared and wish her all the best. Wherever there is an ending, there is also a beginning. See you in 2026." No specific reason for the departure was provided, and the group has not named a replacement.

White-Gluz, 40, responded shortly after with her own message on Instagram, reflecting on her tenure. "After 12 years in Arch Enemy, we have parted ways," she wrote. "I am forever thankful to the thousands of amazing fans I have met along the way. Thank you, Beastlings! I can't wait to share what I have been working on with you all with some big surprises in store. Stay tuned for big news in 2026 and see you very soon."
