It’s been a very eventful 2026 so far for Alissa White-Gluz: as well as launching new band Blue Medusa, the former Arch Enemy singer has just revealed that she’s joined DragonForce.

The new-look power metallers will make their live debut at this weekend’s mega Welcome To Rockville (and then play again next Sunday, May 17 at Sonic Temple), as well as promising a celebration of 20 years of Inhuman Rampage, an updated version of their signature smash Through The Fire And Flames, and even more music and shows to come. Phew.

“Alissa joining the band is an expansion of everything we’ve done up to this point,” shares Herman Li. “Twenty years is a long time to do anything, let alone survive the music industry and still be so inspired to continue doing what we love. Together we will honour what made Inhuman Rampage matter, while showing people exactly where we’re going next.

“Having Alissa in the room changes everything. She doesn’t just sing, she makes all aspects of our music better. And she sounds incredible live! I can’t wait for the fans to see her and hear what we have been working on.”

“I am beyond excited to be bringing such iconic music to life with these amazingly skilled musicians in such a fun and inspiring environment,” continues Alissa. “It feels great to showcase all the colours of my voice and utilise all my singing styles in technically challenging, deeply energising, highly addictive songs.

“I am so thankful for the amazing support I have been lucky enough to receive from the metal world over this wild career I’ve built; I want to keep pushing my boundaries and delivering exceptional music and live experiences to the fans that I cherish so much.”
