Blue Medusa’s debut single, Checkmate, is out

I already shared it here but happy to repeat. I think Alissa White-Gluz’s decision to leave Arch Enemy is revitalizing both Arch Enemy and her career. We are finally done with the nagging comparison with Angela Gossow — Japan 2008 was almost 20 years ago, and is not something that will or need to be repeated. Alissa’s new band, Blue Medusa, has a different style, different sound, and can bring us joy, despite having no clue what the lyrics are.

Here it is, for the handful of metalheads who follow my blog.

Alissa White-Gluz Changing Styles

~ Veselin ~ 1 Comment

Arch Enemy’s vocalist Alissa White-Glutz parted ways with the band and released a new single in a different type of metal. The style is not what we would expect from her, apart from an occasional growl. I’m not even sure what it is. Tried finding but the engines weren’t helpful. Reminds me of the gothic rock from the 90s and a favorite bands from that time like Lacrimosa and Lacuna Coil, with slow and simple sounds, not necessarily anything harsh.

I have to admit that this new song suits her well and I enjoy her recent work – both with Arch Enemy and without.
