In a recent question-and-answer session, former ARCH ENEMY vocalist Alissa White-Gluz discussed BLUE MEDUSA's touring plans and upcoming album.
When asked about the possibility of a full-length album from BLUE MEDUSA, White-Gluz stated that while they are currently releasing singles, there will eventually be an album as well.
Regarding their live shows, White-Gluz assured fans that BLUE MEDUSA will tour extensively throughout her past territories and beyond.
She confirmed that the band has two festivals already announced: Louder Than Life and Aftershock festival in the USA.
White-Gluz also discussed her departure from ARCH ENEMY after an 11-year tenure as vocalist.
In a recent interview with Germany's Metal Hammer magazine, she reflected on how difficult it was to announce her exit, citing change as a wild mix of fear and excitement.
She acknowledged that making the announcement wasn't taken lightly due to her immense creative investment in the project.
White-Gluz praised the fans' and industry peers' responses to her departure, calling them genuine support and encouragement.
She expressed gratitude for their backing and motivation, emphasizing that it has given her confidence and excitement about BLUE MEDUSA's future.
The band is comprised of White-Gluz on vocals, Alyssa Day (MINDSCAR, ABSENTIA) and Dani Sophia (ex-Till Lindemann) on guitar, Alicia Vigil (DRAGONFORCE, VIGIL OF WAR) on bass, and Delaney Jaster (STITCHED UP HEART) on drums.
In related news, WHITE-Gluz released "Checkmate", the first single from BLUE MEDUSA's new band, in March.
The song is extremely cathartic for White-Gluz and has been interpreted as a reflection of her feelings about her past projects, including ARCH ENEMY.
Her statement regarding the track highlights her visual storytelling abilities through music videos.
The video unfolds within a game of chess, carrying deliberate allegory and layered symbolism.
White-Gluz' background in environmental conservation, veganism, and animal welfare is also well-documented through her music with ARCH ENEMY and other bands.
She is widely regarded as an advocate for these causes and has consistently used her platform to address pressing social issues.
