Angela Gossow leaves Arch Enemy

http://www.thegauntlet.com/article/29627/Angela-Gossow-Leaves-Arch-Enemy-New-Vocalist-Announced

Alissa White-Gluz is a pretty badass singer (for that style of music) IMO.  We shall see how this goes.  For those of you who don't know who The Agonist are/were, here's a clip of her style of singing!

Yeah, but Gossow sang with balls, guttural, like a man. Allissa sounds like a girl trying to scream like a man. I don't necessarily dislike that, of course, and I own and enjoy the Agonist albums...but Gossow was a rarity among female growlers.

Angela will be missed for sure. I'm just wondering if Alissa will bring her clean vocals to Arch Enemy.

That would be interesting.

I've always thought AE could have benefited from some clean melodies in small doses here and there. Regardless, Angela will be missed.

Picked a good replacement. I remember Angela saying a long time ago that she couldn't picture herself still performing that kind of music when she's in her 40's.

Well, it is definitely an improvement. Let's hope the next vocalist would be even better.

No spanks

Bummer. I liked Angela. Maybe they could get Tim Owens to sing for them instead. He hasn't sang with Arch Enemy yet.

I really liked Angela and will especially miss looking at her.

Well, if we're talking about sexy singers, the band just upgraded tenfold.

I hate female fronted metal bands.

They should hire a guy. Is ripper owens free these days?

I don't think Angela is ugly. But I have to agree with Eyesore.

They should have brought Johan Liiva back to the band and it would have possibly been good again. Haven't liked them since Liiva left the band.

I wouldn't kick either one of them out of bed

Neither would I. I think Angela is better looking though. Eye of the beholder I guess.

I am trying to get into this band but the vocals are not easily accessible.

Angela is hot. No question about it.

Kinda sexist dont ya think?

Here's the video they just released today with the new singer:

Killer song and I had no doubts about Alissa. I do wanna hear some clean vocals from her, she has a great tone.
