ANGELA GOSSOW Explains How LAUREN HART Became The New Singer Of ARCH ENEMY
Angela Gossow says Lauren Hart became Arch Enemy’s new singer after Gossow, now the band’s manager, had followed Hart’s work with Once Human and noticed similarities in their vocals and stage energy.

Gossow recalled that the change happened quickly in December 2025, and said Hart’s touring experience and willingness to take on the audition helped make her a suitable choice. The discussion also touched on the band’s future and hinted at a possible new album.
