Iron Maiden is the last big old rock band that I wanted to see and haven’t yet. I hope we get lucky with the weather. It’s rainy and wet these days.
I was surprised to learn they’re still active – but they are, and they’ve just released four new songs. Enjoy.
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.
Sounds like the departure of Alissa White-Gluz worked well for both parties. I already blogged how Alissa’s new work feels more like her, fresh and different. And here we are, Arch Enemy with Lauren Hart, performing as if she’s always been there. Their music sounds like a fantasy novel with dragons, hordes of orcs, and black magic.
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.
