In 2000, Liiva was asked to leave the band. His replacement turned out to be Angela Gossow, a German singer with a major case of SingingVoiceDissonance. Her first album with the band, 2001's ''Wages of Sin'', was the band's breakthrough album. Chris Amott left again in 2012 and was replaced by [[Music/{{Arsis}} Nick Cordle]]; additionally, in March 2014, Angela Gossow announced her departure and welcomed Music/AlissaWhiteGluz of Music/TheAgonist as her replacement. Around the end of 2014, Nick Cordle was fired for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Music/JeffLoomis.

* BareYourMidriff: Angela's penchant for close-fitting shirts has led her to baring her midriff, intentionally or otherwise, every so often. Alissa plays with this by way of her shredded outfits.

* VocalEvolution: Angela used to scream her throat off in her earlier work with AE. After some lessons with screaming zen master Melissa Cross, she refined her MetalScream into a deep roar coming up from the lungs. Alissa, having found her signature growl back in The Agonist, seems to follow suit.
