Arch Enemy's New Singer Staying True to Band's Sound

(TeamRock Radio) Arch Enemy's new singer Alissa White-Gluz says changing the band's sound would have been "inappropriate". The former singer with The Agonist took over the main role in Arch Enemy when former frontwoman Angela Gossow stood down earlier this year.

Known more for her sweet singing voice than the heavier style that was Arch Enemy's trademark under Gossow, White-Gluz might have been expected to drastically change things.

But as the prepare to release their first album with the Canadian at the helm, she insists she wouldn't dare mess with a tried and tested formula. She tells NWF: "I don't think it would have been totally appropriate to bust in a clean singing chorus on an Arch Enemy song because the guitars are already singing. So it's an interesting and different balance to have the singing being the brutal part and the guitars being the soaring melodic part. It's not often done that way in metal.

"It's not really frustrating, I'm totally satisfied with the music that we're making. We're all open minded so maybe we'll include clean singing in the future if it fits. We already have an established sound, I'm not gonna walk in and change the way it is." more on this story
