Alissa White-Gluz has officially opened a new chapter in her musical journey. After more than a decade as one of the most distinctive voices in modern metal, the Canadian singer has announced her solo career with the release of her debut single, “The Room Where She Died.” The track features Oliver Palotai —renowned for his work with Kamelot— whose contribution adds emotional depth and musical refinement to the project.
“The Room Where She Died” stands out for its dark, atmospheric sound, blending modern metal elements with melodic passages that showcase White-Gluz’s range and versatility. Her performance moves seamlessly between raw aggression and intimate expressiveness, presenting a version of herself that is both familiar and newly liberated. This is not merely a continuation of her past work, but a deliberate artistic evolution.
The accompanying music video enhances that narrative, delivering a visually striking and dramatic interpretation aligned with the song’s emotional weight. Palotai’s involvement —from instrumentation to arrangement— strengthens the cohesion between sound and imagery, making this debut a complete audiovisual statement. Fans will find a more introspective and personal side of White-Gluz emerging through this release.
This milestone comes shortly after her departure from Arch Enemy, signaling a long-anticipated shift toward creative independence. With promises of more music in 2026, her solo endeavor is poised to become one of the most intriguing artistic developments in contemporary metal.
