Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
Despite recent events, Alissa White-Gluz, a former member of Arch Enemy and The Agonist, founded Blue Medusa, a young metal band that is still in operation, as per theprp. Some had questioned whether Blue Medusa would be put on hold as a result of Alissa‘s choice to join DragonForce. Even though Alissa has refuted those worries, this week she will let the music speak for itself. “Flying Monkey,” the band’s second single to date, will be released on Friday, May 15. Below is a sneak peek at it. Alissa and Vicente Cordero (Cradle of Filth, Ministry) co-directed the video. Guitarists Dani Sophia (formerly Lindemann) and Alyssa Day (Mindscar/In Absentia) join Alissa as the band’s key members.
In March 2026, White-Gluz revealed more about the upcoming plans for Blue Medusa.
We do have two festivals already announced, and those are in the USA: Louder Than Life and Aftershock festival, which are both festivals that I have attended in the past, and they are amazing. So if you’re based in the USA and you do wanna see Blue Medusa live, I can guarantee you’re gonna see us at those festivals. And if you’re not from the USA and you feel like doing like a vacation or something, you can always time it around that because those festivals are really, really huge and they’re very cool. But you also don’t have to worry, because we will absolutely be touring everywhere that I have toured in the past. We are coming to see all of you again. I can’t go that long without seeing you. A lot of you know, I know you by name when I see you in the front row or at a meet-and-greet. You guys have become a part of my life in a way that is so important for making this music happen and making all of this happen. So I’m gonna see you again soon. As soon as we have anything confirmed, you will hear about it. It’ll be on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Patreon. We’re gonna post about it. So don’t even worry. We will be back soon and be performing for you guys.
