Gossow did confirm that she would remain Arch Enemy's business manager, and would be "passing the torch to the super talented Alissa White-Gluz, whom I’ve known as a dear friend and a superb vocalist for many years.

In the end my choice fell upon Romanian artist Chioreanu Costin, whose work I’ve admired for some time.
