She didn’t waste any time, sharing a new solo single titled “The Room Where She Died” shortly thereafter, and writing, “I hope you love this first offering from my upcoming solo album.”
The Canadian vocalist joined Arch Enemy in 2014, when she replaced Angela Gossow, who decided to step away from the Swedish melodic death metal band, but remained their business manager. Previously, White-Gluz had been a founding member of Canadian metalcore band The Agonist.
Overall, White-Gluz appeared on four Arch Enemy albums, including War Eternal (2014), Will to Power (2017), Deceivers (2022), and Blood Dynasty (2025). Her time with Arch Enemy came with much acclaim, with the single “Handshake with Hell” topping Heavy Consequence‘s list of the Top Metal & Hard Rock Songs of 2022.
