DragonForce have announced Alissa White-Gluz as the band’s new vocalist, marking the beginning of a major new era for the Extreme Power Metal pioneers. You can see Alissa teasing Through The Fire And Flames on Instagram.
The announcement arrives as DragonForce celebrate the 20th anniversary of their breakthrough album Inhuman Rampage, which featured the global anthem Through The Fire And Flames. The band will debut their new line-up live at Welcome To Rockville on Saturday and Sonic Temple festival on Sunday.
Guitarist Herman Li described the addition of White-Gluz as an expansion of everything the band has built over the last two decades.
“Alissa joining the band is an expansion of everything we’ve done up to this point,” Herman Li said. “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.”
White-Gluz, known for her work with Arch Enemy, The Agonist and Kamelot, said she was excited to showcase every aspect of her vocal ability within DragonForce’s technically demanding material.
“I am beyond excited to be bringing such iconic music to life with these amazingly skilled musicians in such a fun and inspiring environment,” Alissa White-Gluz said. “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.”
DragonForce also confirmed that a new studio album is currently in development, alongside extensive touring plans throughout 2026.
