Metal Anarchy

Former Arch Enemy frontwoman Angela Gossow has taken to social media to praise the band’s new singer Lauren Hart (ex-Once Human). Notably, she also mentioned that she would be “down for doing single shows” with the band.

Gossow said the following:

“@ohlaurenhart My sister at🖤 Such a warm and genuine human. We share the same taste in music, the same vocal technique and dedication to music, people and fitness. We have known each other personally since many years. Been following her journey with Once Human, was hoping for her breakthrough. Then I crossed my fingers for her joining another known metal band. Didn’t work out. She never gave up! Then I was looking into putting a new band together for her – thinking a cross over between Dimmu Borgir, Arch Enemy/ In Flames and Machine Head/ Once Human style. I asked her to send in various cover tracks to get a full picture on her vocal skills ( she crushed!) and started scouting for musicians fitting her talent. And then things happened in the Arch Enemy camp. I thought hard about rejoining the band. I looked at my life, my age, my still young children, my workload as the manager for @archenemyofficial. And the answer was no. Both emotionally and also rationally. We received many applications from great vocalists all over the world. I put Lauren forward to the guys. Michael connected. She recorded vocals in December 2025. She rose. Like a Phoenix to the sky. So intense. So glorious. She is Angela reincarnate. Exceeding my skills. Ready to last for decades. I am honoured and humbled to be working with her. Finally. 🖤 PS: All the best to Alissa! She is gonna kill it with her solo album! Wanted to do it since 2016. She has got some great female talent at her side and will leave her mark in the world of metal for sure:) PPS: yes, I am down for doing single shows😉😉😉”
