The German-born Gossow, who is still closely involved with ARCH ENEMY as their manager, said that she will likely begin work on the new project in 2018, once the initial promotional and touring activities for ARCH ENEMY's next studio album have been completed.

 

Gossow said in a 2016 interview that she was "losing the joy" of fronting an extreme metal band before finally making the decision to quit ARCH ENEMY, explaining that she wanted to "step down rather than pretend."

 

After 13 years as ARCH ENEMY's vocalist, Gossow shocked the heavy metal world in 2014 with the sudden announcement of her retirement from the band.

 

ARCH ENEMY is currently working on material for the follow-up to its latest album, 2014's 'War Eternal', tentatively due before the end of the year.
