Well, it looks like our dreams have been shattered into reality far sooner than we thought. Angela Gossow confirms that she is not returning to be the lead singer in Arch Enemy with a comment in a new post.
Following the departure of lead singer Johan Liiva, Gossow joined Arch Enemy in November 2000. For a German webzine, she had already conducted an interview with guitarist Michael Amott. Gossow showed Amott a demo, which she described as a “poor quality” film of a club performance, during the interview. In 2000, the band invited Gossow to try out after sacking Liiva. Then, according to Amott, “she wiped the floor with all the other contenders.” She then worked with Arch Enemy to record “Wages of Sin”.
Gossow nearly stopped growling when she was diagnosed with nodules on the eve of a 2002 tour. After receiving vocal therapy, she was able to regain her voice and started taking lessons in screaming and the piano, with the coach Melissa Cross.
