Alissa White-Gluz Joins DragonForce as Co-Vocalist

DragonForce have announced that singer Alissa White-Gluz has joined the band. The former Arch Enemy vocalist will make her debut with the UK power-metal act this Saturday, May 9th, at the Welcome to Rockville festival, followed by the Sonic Temple festival on May 17th.

White-Gluz exited Arch Enemy this past fall, immediately releasing a solo single. A couple months later, she announced the formation of a new band called Blue Medusa. Now, she has signed on to become DragonForce’s singer, sharing lead vocal duties with existing singer Marc Hudson.

White-Gluz’s entry into the band comes as the power-metal group celebrates the 20th anniversary of its gold-certified 2006 album Inhuman Rampage , which yielded the worldwide hit “Through the Fire and Flames.” In a social media tease, White-Gluz offered a snippet of her singing that very song (also see below).

“Alissa joining the band is an expansion of everything we’ve done up to this point,” stated DragonForce co-founder and lead guitarist Herman Li. “Twenty years is a long time to do anything, let alone survive the music industry and still be so inspired to continue doing what we love. Together we will honor what made Inhuman Rampage matter, while showing people exactly where we’re going next. Having Alissa in the room changes everything. She doesn’t just sing, she makes all aspects of our music better. And she sounds incredible live! I can’t wait for the fans to see her and hear what we have been working on.”

White-Gluz added, “I am beyond excited to be bringing such iconic music to life with these amazingly skilled musicians in such a fun and inspiring environment. It feels great to showcase all the colors of my voice and utilize all my singing styles in technically challenging, deeply energizing, highly addictive songs. I am so thankful for the amazing support I have been lucky enough to receive from the metal world over this wild career I’ve built; I want to keep pushing my boundaries and delivering exceptional music and live experiences to the fans that I cherish so much.”

DragonForce’s lineup now consists of lead vocalists Alissa White-Gluz and Marc Hudson, guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman, bassist Alicia Vigil, and drummer Gee Anzalone.
