Alissa White-Gluz unveils her new project Blue Medusa
Blue Medusa, Alissa White-Gluz‘s new band, has been formally introduced, as per theprp. With the announcement of guitarist Alyssa Day (Mindscar/In Absentia) and Dani Sophia last month, the former Arch Enemy/The Agonist singer has been expanding the lineup for that group in recent months. The trio has also put together a touring band that will include drummer Delaney Jaster (These Fading Visions) and bassist Alicia Vigil (DragonForce, Vigil Of War) during live shows.
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, cru shing 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.
Blue Medusa is the next evolution of everything I’ve been building toward for years. It’s my creative melting pot. Everything fans enjoy about the energy, intensity, and performance they’ve always experienced on stage with me over the past two decades is still here, even stronger. That is me, that is who I am and who I’ve always been.
And now it’s amplified and unleashed in a fully sovereign artistic vision. Our music has blazing guitar solos, crushing riffs, brutal vocals, fast and aggressive drums, thoughtful melodies and most importantly (to me), really cogitative lyrics. – from a press release
