November 2, 2008, 15 years ago
ARCH ENEMY vocalist Angela Gossow is featured in a new interview with The Metal Pit. An excerpt is available below.
Metal Pit: Because of you there are more and more females in Metal bands and even singing in extreme metal bands like yourself. How does that make you feel when you see that?
Angela: "Excited! I look at my little niece Winnie and I know she will be fighting a fair battle one day – she will be judged by her knowledge and qualities and not by her gender. Seeing women rushing into metal is clearly an indication for equality being on the rise. There will be a day where they will be musicians first and females second. I am not the queen of metal. I am Angela Gossow, singer in Arch Enemy! And Arch Enemy kicks ass!"
Metal Pit: Is there ever any one around the band that suggests you do a full on clean vocal song or ballad and if so what is your response to that suggestion?
Angela: "They rather suggest to NEVER EVER try this, haha. And I do agree. I think ‘pretty’ doesn’t belong in my metal. I like my metal very angry."
