Arch Enemy Appear to Tease Return of Classic Singer Angela Gossow

Arch Enemy may be reuniting with their classic-era singer Angela Gossow, as hinted in a new social media tease posted on Friday, February 13th.

Back in November, Alissa White-Gluz announced her departure from the Swedish metal band, stating, “After 12 years in Arch Enemy, we have parted ways. I am forever thankful to the thousands of amazing fans I have met along the way. Thank you, Beastlings! I can’t wait to share what I have been working on with you all.” She promptly released a new solo single that same day.

White-Gluz had replaced Gossow in 2014 after the latter decided to step away from the band. However, Gossow stayed on as Arch Enemy’s business manager.

The social media tease (see below), posted on the Instagram accounts of both Arch Enemy and Gossow, shows a cryptic video of a mysterious figure holding up a torch, with the words “2026.” Everything else has been wiped off each of their accounts.

Gossow joined Arch Enemy in 2000, replacing original singer Johan Liiva, and stayed on until her aforementioned 2014 departure. She appeared on five albums between 2001 and 2011, including acclaimed releases like Wages of Sin and Doomsday Machine.

With Gossow being Arch Enemy’s business manager, there’s a chance she’s simply promoting the new era of the band, without returning, but there’s definitely a chance a reunion is in play. Stay tuned…
