Alissa White-Gluz (Ex-Arch Enemy) Says Her New Band Will Be Called Blue Medusa

Alissa White-Gluz (ex-Arch Enemy, ex-The Agonist) has revealed that her new band will be called Blue Medusa. The project finds the frontwoman joined by guitarists Alyssa Day (Mindscar, Absentia) and Dani Sophia (ex-Till Lindemann). Bassist Alicia Vigil (Vigil Of War, DragonForce) and drummer Delaney Jaster (Stitched Up Heart) will also take part in live shows.

White-Gluz commented:

“The year of the snake is finally over – now it’s time to shed the skin.

Today, on International Women’s Day, I’m proud to announce my new band: BLUE MEDUSA.

After twenty years performing on the world’s biggest stages, I’m entering a new creative chapter. Blue Medusa is the next evolution of everything I’ve been building toward; a project where my full artistic vision can exist without limits.

You’ll hear blazing guitar solos, crushing riffs, brutal vocals, fast and aggressive drums, thoughtful melodies, and deeply introspective lyrics layered with meaning.

Blue Medusa features an incredible lineup of musicians:
⚡ Alyssa Day – guitar
⚡ Dani Sophia – guitar

Joining us live on drums and bass will be two absolute powerhouses:
⚡ Delaney Jaster – drums
⚡ Alicia Vigil – bass

I chose to share this news on International Women’s Day because building stronger platforms for women in heavy music is something I care deeply about. I’ve been carving my own path in this genre for a long time, and I want to help pave the road for the next generation of women who love metal as much as I do.

Medusa turned people to stone…
I want to pave the road in sapphire. 🔹

New music is coming soon.
First live appearances: Louder Than Life and Aftershock.”
