Arch Enemy return with new vocalist and unleash first single, To The Last Breath

Following the departure of Alissa White-Gluz in November, Arch Enemy have just introduced their new member: ex-Once Human vocalist Lauren Hart.

The Swedish metallers lift the lid on their next chapter with comeback single To The Last Breath – their first new music since March 2025 album Blood Dynasty – which Michael Amott calls “a reckoning. Musically, it’s unapologetically aligned with my original vision for the band – and I believe longtime fans will recognise that immediately. Lyrically, it’s about seeing through deception and dismantling the illusion of control. It captures that moment when you realise you’ve been fed poison – and you choose to fight back. Once that clarity hits, there’s no retreat. It’s do or die.”

Speaking about welcoming Lauren to the band, Michael enthuses: “Connecting with Lauren has marked an important step in my journey. Working with her was an exceptional experience – her remarkable voice, coupled with her dedication and professionalism, brings a rare level of excellence. I look forward to continuing the collaboration!”
