There have been hints and guesses as to who was replacing Alyssa White-Gluz for Swedish extreme metal band Arch Enemy. Plenty of people wondered who it could be, but with the release of their new track “To The Last Breath”, we now know who it is and no, it’s not Angela Gossow. The truth is they’ve chosen an absolute beast to bring the band into its next age.
Moving forward, Arch Enemy will be fronted by ex-Once Human vocalist Lauren Hart. For those that don’t know her previous work, she’s a dynamic powerhouse behind the mic fitting of the recently vacated role with Arch Enemy. According to guitarist and founder Michael Amott, she was the perfect choice for the band’s future.
“Connecting with Lauren has marked an important step in my journey. Working with her was an exceptional experience — her remarkable voice, coupled with her dedication and professionalism, brings a rare level of excellence. I look forward to continuing the collaboration.”
As for the new track, it’s a straight up ripper. Amott described the song as a “reckoning” that heralds the next chapter for Arch Enemy.
“Make no mistake — this song is a reckoning. Musically, it’s unapologetically aligned with my original vision for the band — and I believe longtime fans will recognize that immediately. Lyrically, it’s about seeing through deception and dismantling the illusion of control. It captures that moment when you realize you’ve been fed poison — and you choose to fight back. Once that clarity hits, there’s no retreat. It’s do or die.”
In addition to the new song, the band announced their European ‘Back To The Root Of All Evil’ tour, which you can check out the dates for below.
