Alissa White-Gluz
Alissa White-Gluz (/əˈliːsə ˈɡlʌz/; born 31 July 1985), known professionally as Alissa (commonly styled in all caps), is a Canadian musician, best known as the former lead vocalist of the Swedish melodic death metal band Arch Enemy, former lead vocalist and founding member of the Canadian metalcore band The Agonist, and current vocalist of the British power metal band DragonForce and heavy metal band Blue Medusa. Her vocal style includes both growling and clean singing. Although primarily associated with melodic death metal and metalcore, she has appeared as a guest vocalist for power metal, symphonic metal and deathcore bands, notably Kamelot, Delain, Carnifex and Powerwolf, and has performed live with Nightwish and Tarja Turunen.
White-Gluz was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, as the second of three children. Her grandparents were Jewish prisoners in concentration camps during World War II and managed to escape. Their experiences in the camps would go on to inspire the Arch Enemy song "First Day in Hell". She is the younger sister of Jasamine White-Gluz who leads the Montreal-based band No Joy.
In 2004, White-Gluz formed The Agonist (then known as "Tempest") with fellow band members Danny Marino and Chris Kells in Montreal. She released three albums with them as their lead vocalist. White-Gluz was kicked out of The Agonist in the spring of 2014 after she was offered the role as vocalist for Arch Enemy and proposed her interest in working in both bands at once.
In March 2014, Arch Enemy announced via press release that White-Gluz would be replacing their former vocalist Angela Gossow.
With Arch Enemy, she released four studio albums (War Eternal, Will to Power, Deceivers and Blood Dynasty) and two live albums (Tokyo Sacrifice and As the Stages Burn!).[citation needed]
On November 23, 2025, Arch Enemy announced her departure from the band, after more than a decade as the frontwoman.
On March 8, 2026, White-Gluz announced the formation of her new band Blue Medusa, alongside guitarists Alyssa Day and Dani Sophia.
On May 6, 2026, the British power metal band DragonForce announced that White-Gluz had joined the band as the second lead vocalist.
