Alissa White-Gluz is, without a doubt, one of the most versatile talents in the metal scene. From her early days with The Agonist, to her numerous guest appearances with the likes of Kamelot and Delain, and now as she fronts Arch Enemy, Alissa has proven to be a vital member of the metal community. Now she has something extra special in store for fans. Alissa White-Gluz has signed a new solo deal with Napalm Records, and will be releasing ALISSA in 2017!

Here’s what she said on the new venture: “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!”

Thomas Caser of Napalm Records added, “A true pleasure to announce this signing today. We are looking forward to this cooperation with one of the most talented front-ladies and artists in today’s business!”

As the press release states, an album is already scheduled for 2017, and tour dates will follow around the album release as well! Congrats to Alissa on the huge news!
