ARCH ENEMY vocalist Angela Gossow has issued the following update:

"My wonderful REBEL GIRL Hadass from Jerusalem, Israel has conducted an interview with me a while ago. It's worth checking out! You can download the whole magazine for free at www.fallopianfalafel.com .

We are having a very interesting discussion about feminism at the moment and might turn that into a little piece. I am not a militant feminist, but I am very, very proud of my ladies out there and I am definititely for EQUALITY in ALL ASPECTS!

Women are still oppressed, mistreated, mutilated and simply killed and thrown away in many countries and I stand behind every person who is fighting for female rights! I also can’t accept the fact women are still getting paid less wages, even in such advanced countries like Germany or Scandinavia. We have a German chancellor for hell's sake. Mrs. Merkel: Get up your ass and change the fucking system! What are you waiting for?!

I hope my boyz aren’t angry – I love you too ;-) I got NOTHING against men – in fact I love them very much. I am blessed with a bunch of truly supportive, tolerant and opened minded ones, in my family and band alike. They are probably a lot more feminist than I am, hehe. I am also blessed with a lot of acceptance coming from the metal scene, as opposed to most people’s prejudiced conception of this genre of music. I haven’t had one muscle flexing macho asshole crossing my path so far – just sweet, intelligent gentlemen. I suppose there are some idiots at every show – but sorry, I cant hear your stupid ramblings up there. We are playing way too loud, hehe..."

Yours truly,

Angela
