Gossow joined Arch Enemy in November 2000, after former lead singer Johan Liiva was removed from the band.[2] She had previously interviewed guitarist Michael Amott for a German webzine. While interviewing Amott, Gossow gave him a demo that she described as a "poor quality" video of a performance at a club. When the band sacked then-vocalist Johan Liiva in 2000, Arch Enemy called in Gossow for an audition. Amott said that "she wiped the floor with all the other contenders."
Gossow provides the voice for the recurring character, Lavona Succuboso in the animated television show Metalocalypse. According to an interview with Musiikki TV at the Frostbite Festival 2009, Gossow did guest vocals on the Astarte album Demonized, on the song "Black at Heart".
Gossow is among a small number of females to front as a death metal singer. She has a mezzo-soprano vocal range, with a death growl.[3] She is a vegetarian[4] and politically considers herself an anarchist[citation needed]. She is an atheist.[5] Since 2008 she is a manager for Arch Enemy and Spiritual Beggars.
