Alissa White-Gluz Signs to Napalm Records, Launches New Single "The Room Where She Died"

Alissa White-Gluz enters her Soloist Era

Canadian powerhouse and former ARCH ENEMY frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz starts her long-awaited solo career with her new single, “The Room Where She Died”, out now everywhere via Napalm Records. Smart execs over at NR!

For years, Alissa has been releasing original music and self-directed music videos exclusively for her Patreon community. Then there’s been the collabs in recent years on tracks by Delain (“Hands of Gold”), Doyle (“Kiss Me As We Die”), Soilwork (“Stålfågel”), Angra (“Black Widow’s Web”), Dee Snider (“Dead Hearts Love Thy Enemy”), and with Nita Strauss (“The Wolf You Feed”. Her guest vocals on Charlotte Wessel’s “Ode to the West” has been living in my head rent-free for many months.

Now, the multi-faceted artist is ready to share her latest single with the world at large. Having performed on the world’s biggest stages as one of death metal’s most recognisable voices and enchanting the world as a leading woman of the scene, Alissa teams up with Oliver Palotai of power metal virtuosos Kamelot, with whom she has performed and co-written multiple times before.

“The Room Where She Died” moves away from the style she has been known for in recent years: making use of her impressive range in both clean vocals and fierce growls, in Arch Enemy. Instead, this new style sees her captivate the listener with a sophisticated composition complete with an orchestral intro, catchy riffs, and even a jazzy interlude. “The Room Where She Died” is equally heavy and catchy, the charismatic singer ignites a new spark.

Alissa on The Room Where She Died:

“The Room Where She Died” marks the beginning of a new chapter for me, born from a place of deep creativity and renewed fire. It’s the first step into a world I’ve been building quietly for years, and one of many collaborations I have with Oliver Palotai, my Kamelot bandmate with whom I’ve found a great creative flow.

“Making this music, writing the video and even painting the single artwork myself has reinvigorated me in ways I didn’t expect, reminding me exactly why I love making art. I have been honing my skills as a performer, vocalist and songwriter over many years now, and I feel like I am finally at a place where I can let my work stand on its own.

“I poured every ounce of passion, pain, and purpose into this, and I’ve never felt more inspired. I hope you can feel that spark too, because this is only the beginning! I’m endlessly grateful for the overwhelming response to ‘The Room Where She Died’, and the love and encouragement I’ve already received from my peers, fans, and the metal community overall. Thank you!”
