Alissa White-Gluz has gone her separate ways from the death metal band Arch Enemy after 12 years. Alissa joined the group in March 2014, the same year she began her relationship with Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein.

Doyle is a popular American guitarist and a member of the horror punk band Misfits. The guitarist was previously married to Stephanie Bellars in 2001. They officially divorced in 2013, and Doyle began a relationship with Alissa soon after.

Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein is a father of four children: three girls and a son, from his marriage to Stephanie. Since their time together, Doyle has been influenced by Alissa; one glaring example is their food choices. The former Arch Enemy lead singer is a vegan, and when they began dating, Doyle changed his food preferences to match his girlfriend's.

In a 2019 interview with Metal Addicts, the Misfit guitarist admitted Alissa White-Gluz made him a vegetarian.

“Doyle, everybody knows you’re a vegan now. How long have you been in that lifestyle?” the interviewer asked.

To which Doyle responded:

“Six years. Alissa got me into it.”

Alissa White-Gluz’s first solo single, The Room Where She Died, was released on Sunday, November 23, 2025, and was accompanied by a YouTube music video.

A part of the lyrics read:

“I stand, lost in shadows of/ Years of lament etched into four walls/ Like a whisper/ A feverish dream/ Where only echoes respond/ I keep asking - how long?/ This caravan follows a hearse/ Leaving the Room where she died/ Dying begins at birth/ To suffer is the way of our kind/ Let lies sit like baskets of/ Flowers in bloom/ Colours bright and false”

It continued:

“Then the light comes to greet her face/ And brush the dust from her broken brain/ Eyes say what the voice cannot/ Is this where it ends?/ Here, our paths must part/ Just a helpless spectator, am 1/ And I keep questioning "god"/ To drown out the ferryman's calls.”
