Blue-haired vocalist of iconic metal band Arch Enemy , Alissa White-Gluz, has signed a solo deal with Napalm Records.
Performing as simply ‘Alissa’, she is still a member of Arch Enemy, where as this project is more of a collective of like-minded individuals.
This is what Alissa had to say:
“I’m excited to announce that I am currently composing and building my first solo album for the project aptly and honestly entitled “ALISSA” which will see some more of my creative adventures unleashed. It is a welcome creative outlet to unlock all of my lyrical and musical vaults with zero restriction or pressure to conform to any particular style or era. I also pay close attention to what my fans want – I haven’t been ignoring the consistent requests for my clean singing voice! With Angela Gossow as management and Napalm Records just as passionate as I am about this new project, I’m fortunate to have found a home amongst friends and colleagues who are supportive and encouraging of my full musical spectrum. This album will also feature members of the Arch Enemy family, both current and past, as well as many of the other great artists I have had the pleasure of sharing a stage with throughout my career. So many respected artists have invited me into their music over the years, now it’s time to bring them into my world. Thank you to all my incredible fans around the world – this music is for you!”
Alissa will be using her trademark growling metal voice as well as clean vocals on this record with confirmed guest contributors (so far) including: past and present members of Arch Enemy, and Doyle of The Misfits.
An album and following tour is already confirmed for 2017 – keep checking back for more info.
