Alissa White-Gluz likes to stay active. Since making her debut with The Agonist in 2007 and continuing through her tenure in Arch Enemy, the singer has been tapped up to collaborate with dozens of artists, ranging from the likes of Soilwork and Carnifex to Epica, Babymetal and Powerwolf.
So even after her shock departure from Arch Enemy in November 2025, it wasn't too surprising she immediately hit the ground running with her debut solo single The Room Where She Died. But although she's now launched the group Blue Medusa with the single Checkmate, she's keen to point out the band is separate from her much anticipated solo project, for which she signed a recording deal with Napalm Records in 2016.
