Swedish melodic death metal veterans ARCH ENEMY have officially introduced their new vocalist Lauren Hart to the world stage, with the singer making her fourth live appearance with the band at a concert in Shenzhen, China on April 4, 2026, as part of a seven-date Chinese tour. Footage from the show has now surfaced online, giving fans their first substantial look at the new lineup in action.
Hart, previously known as the frontwoman of ONCE HUMAN, joined ARCH ENEMY following the departure of longtime vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, who had fronted the band since 2014 across four studio albums. Hart officially debuted on the band's February 2026 single 'To The Breath'. Band founder and guitarist Michael Amott has been enthusiastic about the collaboration: "Connecting with Lauren has marked an important step... her remarkable voice, coupled with her dedication and professionalism, brings a rare level of excellence."
Any hopes of former vocalist Angela Gossow rejoining the band were put to rest by Gossow herself, who confirmed she remains in her role as the band's manager. ARCH ENEMY have now announced intimate European club shows titled 'Back To The Root Of All Evil' for summer 2026, marking a deliberate return to smaller, more intense venues for the band's European fanbase.
The current ARCH ENEMY lineup features Lauren Hart (vocals), Michael Amott (guitars), Joey Concepcion (guitars), Sharlee D'Angelo (bass), and Daniel Erlandsson (drums).
