Angela Gossow

Angela Nathalie Gossow (born November 5, 1975) is a death metal vocalist from Cologne, Germany. She currently fronts swedish band Arch Enemy. Her previous bands include Asmodina and Mistress. She is one of the female metal singers that use death grunts as her primary singing style. Her main influences are Jeff Walker, David Vincent, Chuck Billy, John Tardy, and Chuck Schuldiner.

Angela joined the band in 2001, after former lead singer Johan Liiva was removed from the band. She had previously interviewed guitarist Micheal Amott for a German Webzine. While interviewing Amott, Angela gave him a demo and what she describes as a “poor quality” video of a performance at a club. When it came time to release Liiva, Arch Enemy called her in for an audition. Amott reports that “she wiped the floor with the other contenders”.
