Platinum-certified power metal outfit DragonForce have welcomed ex-Arch Enemy vocalist Alissa White-Gluz into their ranks. Alissa, who recently launched her own new band Blue Medusa, will be assuming co-lead vocal duties in the aforementioned British outfit. Her tenure in the band will start immediately, with her first appearance scheduled for this Saturday, May 09th, at the annual “Welcome To Rockville‘ festival in Daytona Beach, FL.
Commenting on this surprising expansion of their ranks, the band’s guitarist Herman Li stated:
“Alissa joining the band is an expansion of everything we’ve done up to this point. 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.”
Alissa herself 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.”
