Blue Medusa “Checkmate”
Blue Medusa, the band led by former Arch Enemy and The Agonist vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, has released “Checkmate.”
“This is a song where everything just clicked,” says White-Gluz. “‘Checkmate’ is an extremely cathartic song for me. It was created in one of those flow states where the lyrics and melodies and rhythms just write themselves and you get the feeling that you’re on to something powerful. It’s probably the heaviest thing I’ve written in terms of lyrics, and probably the lightest of what we have cooking in terms of sound.”
Checkmate
Between 2007 -2012, White-Gluz recorded three full-length albums and one EP with The Agonist. She went on to release four studio albums, one live set and a compilation album from 2014 – 2025 with Arch Enemy.
Blue Medusa will appear at major U.S. festivals this year, including Louder Than Life and Aftershock.
