Following the announcement of stepping down from Arch Enemy, Angela Gossow has given the following update on Facebook:

Thank you for all your kind words, your support, your understanding. I am sorry some of you are really sad.
So am I in many ways, it’s really hard to say good-bye. I have had a lot of time to reflect on my life in 2013.. I had to turn a page. We all get to this point in our life some time.. I do embrace this change, I hope you do too.

I am very busy with Arch Enemy right now as you can imagine, they got a lot of things lined up. The music is still a 100% Arch Enemy, trust me  Thank you for the last 13 years, they have been truly wonderful, I enjoyed playing live for many of you, meeting you, interacting with you. I am not sure yet what I’ll do with this page, I will most likely use it to keep you up-to-date with all things Arch Enemy, my band management business and whatever else my busy little brain comes across.. thoughts, inspirations, things that make me laugh. Be well, take good care of yourselves and enjoy life. It’s too short to look back.

Yours,

Angela

It’s good that Gossow is in such good spirits and that there doesn’t appear to be any drama afoot within the band. And she seems to be taking her focus on music from a managerial point in stride. If you still haven’t heard what Arch Enemy sounds like with their new vocalist, you ought to check out “War Eternal.”
