## Vegan Musicians in the Metal and Punk Scene
Alissa White-Gluz – Arch Enemy
Singer Alissa White-Gluz, currently with Arch Enemy, has been a long-time advocate for animal rights and environmental protection. She grew up vegetarian and later adopted a vegan and straight edge lifestyle. She has spoken extensively about her beliefs, including on Mercy For animals‘ YouTube channel:
“In my opinion, metal is all about rebellion. It’s about carving yoru own path, thinking against what everyone’s trying to make you think. And veganism is the ultimate form of rebellion, as you are literally taking things that people have told you are normal, that deep down you don’t think are normal, that you’ve been conditioned to accept-things in your day-to-day life like eating, what you wear, or what you choose to buy. everyone says it’s normal to exploit other living beings for those things, but you don’t have to. Taking a stand against that is what veganism is, and that is really metal.”
