Her tenure in the band will start immediately, with her first appearance scheduled for this Saturday, May 09th, at the annual \u201c<strong>Welcome To Rockville<\/strong>\u2018 festival in Daytona Beach, FL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The band&#8217;s guitarist Herman Li comments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201c<strong>Alissa<\/strong> joining the band is an expansion of everything we\u2019ve done up to this point. 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 honor what made \u2018<strong>Inhuman Rampage<\/strong>\u2018 matter, while showing people exactly where we\u2019re going next. Having <strong>Alissa<\/strong> in the room changes everything. She doesn\u2019t just sing, she makes all aspects of our music better. And she sounds incredible live! I can\u2019t wait for the fans to see her and hear what we have been working on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Alissa herself added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201cI am beyond excited to be bringing such iconic music to life with these amazingly skilled musicians in such a fun and inspiring environment. It feels great to showcase all the colors of my voice and utilize all my singing styles in technically challenging, deeply energizing, 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\u2019ve built; I want to keep pushing my boundaries and delivering exceptional music and live experiences to the fans that I cherish so much.\u201d<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Platinum-certified power metal band DRAGONFORCE have welcomed ex-Arch Enemy vocalist Alissa White-Gluz into their ranks&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":117690,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=117687"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117687\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":117691,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117687\/revisions\/117691"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/117690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=117687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=117687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=117687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
