Olof Mörck states,
It is time for the fourth single from The Catalyst, ‘Re-Vision’, and this time we went all in. Ponderous cyberpunk and synthwave rhythms clash with AMARANTHE’s signature sound in an equally thrilling and memorable blend, sure to act as a permanent cybernetic implant into your brain. The prodigious video, once again actualised by long-time collaborator Patric Ullaeus, serves as the perfect counterpoint to ‘Re-Vision’, more ambitious and explosive than any AMARANTHE video to date! As predictions from the 80’s Artificial Intelligence seem to become truer every day, we are ready to serve you a cataclysmic yet captivating foresight into the future of AMARANTHE: Re-Visioned.
'Re-Vision' is the fourth single from AMARANTHE's forthcoming album The Catalyst, that will see the light of the day on February 23rd, 2024, via Nuclear Blast Records. The album will be available digitally and in different physical formats including CD, Vinyl, a 2CD Special Edition and a band exclusive Vinyl that will come with a signed poster.

Tody, AMARANTHE break through the grey November clouds, ready to cure your seasonal blues with their new uplifting track 'Outer Dimensions'!
Once again, high energy vibes paired with a catchy chorus and garnished with some heavy riffs and impressive growls, this song is determined to live up to its name and take the listener to higher spaces.
Olof Mörck states,
Dimensions and galaxies collide in our latest single 'Outer Dimensions', which takes you on a journey from the introspective and obscure, all the way to a sparkling cosmos of an epic chorus! We feel that it showcases 'The Catalyst's diversity, all in one track, while remaining very recognisably AMARANTHE. The song is masterfully counterpointed by a tour de force of a video, directed by long time collaborator Patric Ullaeus - so let us bring you the furthest reaches of your imagination with 'Outer Dimensions' soon!
'Outer Dimensions' is the third single from AMARANTHE's forthcoming album The Catalyst, that will see the light of the day on February 23rd, 2024, via Nuclear Blast Records. The album will be available digitally and in different physical formats including CD, Vinyl, a 2CD Special Edition and a band exclusive Vinyl that will come with a signed poster.

'Outer Dimensions' comes with a fantastic new video that the band released today. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/y3abhagVcgY
The Catalyst is the most conceptually coherent piece of work in AMARANTHE's storied history. Dedicated to notions of transformation and revelation, it delves deeper than any previous album, as Olof Mörck explains
Olof Mörck states,
We've done these things before, but we've never been as theatrical as we have this time. In fact, we all questioned whether we went too far this time, but I also figured that this band was always this way. Literally the first seconds of our first video was a big explosion! But yes, The Catalyst is more theatrical than ever. We've never really been symphonic or orchestral before, but this time we just thought why not? Because we can! The key to this album is that we let go of the boundaries and decided to do something even more adventurous."
Olof Mörck states,
As the release of "The Catalyst" draws ever nearer, we are now very proud and super excited to unveil the second single from the album - "Insatiable"! Contrasts collide like a cataclysm in this ultra-heavy, yet outstandingly catchy groove-monster, which bears all the hallmarks of a classic AMARANTHE hit, and then some!
We once again teamed up with long time collaborator and director extraordinaire Patric Ullaeus, for an all-out, take-no-prisoners video to go along with the song. Beyond that, this is a song you will NEED to hear live on our upcoming tour with our friends in DRAGONFORCE in the USA, so remember to practise those lyrics! And see you all soon!
'Insatiable' is the second single from AMARANTHE's forthcoming album The Catalyst, that will see the light of the day on February 23rd, 2024, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Following the incredible feedback from our joint, recent US tour announcement, AMARANTHE and DRAGONFORCE have decided to take things further and extend our touring partnership: Spring 2024 will see both bands extensively touring mainland Europe and the UK on our Co-Headline European tour. 🔥
“We are *dangerously* thrilled and enthusiastic to finally unveil our co-headline tour in Europe with our good friends in DRAGONFORCE, supported by the Moldovan powerhouse Infected Rain - and, the very first tour in support for our upcoming album, “The Catalyst”! Expect this double-headline bill to explode with excitement and ponderous fury once we play a city near you! AMARANTHE will hit the European Continent with a brand new show, setlist and album, so do NOT miss out on this experience, and see you in early 2024!”
"We are absolutely thrilled to embark on this co-headlining European tour with our friends in AMARANTHE once again! From the time of their demo, I've always admired the work AMARANTHE has been doing. As both of our bands prepare to unleash our biggest albums to date, this upcoming tour promises to deliver an unforgettable experience for our fans. Get ready for an epic musical journey!"
AMARANTHE announced the release of their upcoming album The Catalyst live on stage after their bedazzling performance last week on Wacken’s main stage. The Catalyst will see the light of day on February 23rd, 2024, via Nuclear Blast Records.
Today, the band announced they will be heading across North America this Fall as direct support for GRAMMY-nominated power metal legends, DRAGONFORCE.

General admission tickets for the tour go on sale this Friday, August 11 at 10 A.M. local time.

AMARANTHE's Olof Mörck comments,
So this has been a LONG time coming, in many ways! A DRAGONFORCE + AMARANTHE tour is a no-brainer since we have been friends forever, and share an affinity for catchy choruses and all-out entertainment on stage! Secondly, it has been WAY too long since we have properly toured North America! We know you guys have been waiting THREE long years since we had to cancel our tour due to the pandemic. But the wait is almost over, and we can very barely contain our excitement for this beast of a tour. See all of you wonderful North American fans this fall!
DRAGONFORCE's Herman Li states,
We're really looking forward to touring in the US and Canada again. We've prepared a new setlist with some brand-new songs that we'll be releasing before the tour begins. Alongside these, we'll also be playing some older songs that haven't been in our setlist for long time, as well as some classic favorites that are a must. It's shaping up to be a fantastic tour!

This afternoon, the holy ground for heavy music, the sacred space for metal heads saw the beginning of another glorious chapter for one of the brightest modern metal stars to date. Swedish six-piece AMARANTHE announced the release of their upcoming album The Catalyst live on stage after their bedazzling performance on Wacken’s main stage.
So at last it is official! This has been a long time in the making, and more effort went into this album than any previous AMARANTHE record. You have already gotten a taste of what’s to come on “Damnation Flame”, but as the most varied and eclectic AMARANTHE album to date, expect the unexpected! We cover a lot of musical ground on “The Catalyst”, but the core of what we are about creatively is completely intact. It will be immediately obvious that you are listening to AMARANTHE, as much as it will be immediately obvious that this is both a leap forward as well as a step up. Can’t wait for all of you to hear what we have been cooking, as well as seeing us perform these pristine new songs on the road SOON!,
Olof Mörck states about this moment.
The Catalyst will see the light of the day on February 23rd, 2024, via Nuclear Blast Records. The album will be available digitally and in different physical formats including CD, Vinyl, and a 2CD Special Edition.

“Damnation Flame“ is out now! Listen to it on your favourite streaming platform! You can also watch the music video, which reveals our new member Mikael Sehlin! Please give him a warm welcome!
Olof Morck says:
Damnation Flame" breaks new ground for us in many ways, and in all the best ways possible. This is the very first AMARANTHE song to feature symphonic elements, something we've wanted to do for a long time, and the darkened vampiric theme melds together perfectly with our take on modern melodic metal! AMARANTHE has always been about being boundless and constantly reinventing ourselves, and by now you know to expect the unexpected. This is 100% pure passion poured into music, as you will no doubt experience yourself from the very first second - enjoy "Damnation Flame", with the promise of much more to come SOON!
Our new single "Find Life" is out now! 🔥
HERE you find links to streaming platforms.
The official Music Video can be watched below.
Olof Mörck comments:
'Find Life’ sees Amaranthe exploring a more somber and mature mood, all while keeping our trademark high energy rhythms and explosive riffs. Ethereal layers of keyboards meld seamlessly with a modern pumping bass line, topped of with some of the greatest vocal performances from vocalists Elize Ryd and Nils Molin yet. After quite some time we have reunited with video director and long time Amaranthe collaborator Patric Ullaeus, for a video that is both intimate and explosive. We wanted to scale things down, and focus entirely on the individuals of the band, and Patric delivered as always!
This song surely gave the one or another listener goosebumps when being performed on one of AMARANTHE's breathtaking liveshows, and now a transition of the feelings has been created by releasing a remarkable music video for: 'Crystalline'.
The majestic interplay of orchestral arrangements and in turn distorted guitars is visually underlined in the new stunning music video and not least by the vocal performance between Elize Ryd and Nils Molin.
By releasing this music video AMARANTHE are taking the anthem to a new level which lets the song resurrect, supported by the passion and the emotions which can now also be transferred visually.
AMARANTHE comment on the new video:
"'Crystalline' was a song born from pure emotions in the moment, and we felt that it truly deserved its own spotlight as a single together with a video. Shot at Rydzyna, a 17th century Château outside of Wrocław, Poland, long time collaborators Grupa13 once again worked their visual magic for the video. We hope you will love the result just as much as we do!"
After recently delivering the official anthem for the Swedish team at the international e-sports world championship, AMARANTHE now follow up with level two and unveil a music video for their latest single"PvP". Directed by none less than Poland's Grupa13, who previously worked with the band on 'Archangel' or 'BOOM!1', the video is a colourful and uplifting way to end another blunt year of the pandemic.
Check out the clip for the modern metal dancefloor filler here:
AMARANTHE and BEYOND THE BLACK postpone European tour and announce support acts!
It is with great sadness that we have to announce that our European tour once again has to be moved. Such is the reality of the ongoing COVID situation, but let's cross our fingers that this is the last time EVER we need to move a tour! It is not all doom and gloom however, since we are very happy indeed about the line-up of bands who will join us next fall! Beyond the Black, Butcher Babies and Ad Infinitum are all fantastic bands and great friends too, so we could not be more excited about that! See you ALL in fall 2022!

The die is cast: 2021 won't be the year, AMARANTHE and BEYOND THE BLACK will unleash their monster of a tour to take Europe by storm. The European Co-Headline tour of the Swedish Modern Metal Heroes and Germany's Melodic Metal icons will be postponed to 2022.
AMARANTHE about the decision:
We are absolutely crushed, but unfortunately not surprised that we will have to postpone our European tour with Beyond the Black once again, we were so very much looking forward to finally be on stage to play the new MANIFEST songs for you! However, we feel very hopeful about doing this tour in 2022 instead - let time fly by quickly, and see you again on stage again before you know it!
BEYOND THE BLACK's Jennifer Haben adds:
By rescheduling this tour we believe to create the safe and high quality live experience our fans all over Europe deserve! And be sure: After this hard period of restriction Beyond the Black & Amaranthe will come back even more intense and louder than ever!

Christmas comes early this year for AMARANTHE: The Swedish modern metal heroes have been nominated for one of the most prestigious music awards in Sweden, P3 Guld, in the category "Hard Rock/Metal". Initiated by the Swedish radio channel, P3, the award acknowledges and highlights the greatest efforts and contributions to Swedish popular music - since 2012, the results in all categories is an all-listener/audience affair, the five nominees are selected by a special jury group.
Fans can vote now for the band: www.p3guld.se
AMARANTHE states:
We are super happy to be nominated for a P3 Guld award this year, it is always a bit extra special to get a nod by the music establishment in your home country, as a metal band like us is still a bit of an outsider. If you have a minute to spare, we would be very grateful if you could drop a vote for us, and send a message to said establishment: Amaranthe are here to stay!
Halloween may be over, but AMARANTHE extend the spooky season with their new music video for 'BOOM!1'. Following the release of their groundbreaking sixth studio album "Manifest" that was released on October 2nd, the Swedish modern metal heroes once again showcase their versatility with this grooving and explosive track.
AMARANTHE commented:
In a time when everyone seems to have an opinion about absolutely everything our very own motormouth, GG6, reserves his right to help himself to a small arsenal of explosives topped off with a ton or two of dynamite, and watch your opinion go "BOOM!1"! Discussions on elections, pandemics and riots has led to increased polarisation in today's society, but our Growl God simply prefers it all at 1000°F. A full on onslaught of detuned metal with some of the fastest growls to grace today's scene, "BOOM!1" acts as a sequel to 2018's "GG6", and it raises the bar on every level - with a video presented in a Tarantino-esque style, sure to be just as entertaining as the song itself! So serve yourself a cold glass of Napalm, and watch your world go "BOOM!1"!

The day has finally come for AMARANTHE to share their declaration to the world: The Swedish metalheroes' most epic album to date, "Manifest", is out today!
AMARANTHE commented:
So, we come to it at last! We are so very proud and happy to finally unveil 'Manifest' to the world, an album written with so much pure joy and enthusiasm, and yet very nearly did not see the light of day. When faced with the decision to record the album despite a world wide pandemic, the answer was the same as when we canceled tours that were supposed to promote the album: we HAVE to release this album in 2020! As our long-time listeners are well aware of, AMARANTHE believes in positive, energetic and uplifting music, and we feel that such sentiments are more needed than ever before! Easily our most confident and convincing album to date, this is music born out of pure passion and eagerness to create. This is our manifesto, and all our aesthetic aspirations made apparent - this is 'Manifest'.
Order "Manifest" here:
http://nblast.de/Amaranthe-Manifest
To celebrate the glorious news, the band also releases a stunning music video for 'Fearless' that can be watched here:
AMARANTHE added further:
Fear - perhaps the most primal of instincts and most ancient of proclivities, and yet despite all our recent technological marvels our tendency towards fear only grows. Perhaps the great paradox of our time: we have never been materially safer, yet never more exposed to the ills and misfortunes of our truly global civilisation. This very primal urge is pure currency for both political and financial gain, and the more we give in to fear, the more it enslaves us. However, inside each and every one of us there is also courage, conviction and determination. It is in the face of adversity that we grow the strongest - so heed your inner warrior, pay homage to bravery - and transform into the 'Fearless'!
"Manifest" is be available as CD, media book with four bonus tracks, media book bundle with patch (limited to 250 units, mailorder exclusive), Gold Vinyl (limited to 300 units, mailorder + wholesale exclusive), Blue/Black Marbled Vinyl (limited to 300 units, EMP exclusive), Cyan Vinyl (NB USA exclusive) as well as six individual band member Vinyls (limited to 150 units each, worldwide bandshop exclusive).
Each vinyl color was personally selected by the single band members and is a bold statement for which value is the most important to them: Creativity, independence, prudence, cleverness, single-mindeddess and composure. All together, these values are the foundation to overcome obstacles and face difficult and uncertain situations. To symbolize that, every vinyl comes with a "hero card" corresponding with the band member and their personally picked value. When all six cards are united, they form the album cover for "Manifest". The colours include:
Red w/ Gold Splatter (Olof)
Clear w/ Red Splatter (Elize) *Sold Out*
Green w/ Black Splatter (GG6)
White w/ Blue Splatter (Nils)
Pink w/ Green Splatter (Johan)
Orange w/ Black Splatter (Morten)
All dreams are shattered, all hopes are lost - but out of the fuming ashes of apocalypse, there's a new star rising high into the blackened sky: Today, AMARANTHE release "Archangel", the third single from their upcoming album "Manifest", to be out October 2nd, via Nuclear Blast.
A merciless but on point modern metal extravaganza coming with brutal riffs, a tempting chorus and hellish vibes - long story short: An infernal pleasure that makes you want to trade your soul for the fallen angel.
Check out the video here:
AMARANTHE commented:
Fire and brimstone! Savour the sweet scent of sulphur as AMARANTHE delves deep into Miltonian lore with 'Archangel'! An ancient tale of the fall of the angel Lucifer Morningstar was interpreted as a Greek tragedy in John Milton's seminal 'Paradise Lost', and it is from this perspective we tell a brief yet momentous story of greed, betrayal and overblown pride - an all too familiar and contemporary theme. AMARANTHE's first collaboration with Poland's visual grandmasters Grupa13 took us from abandoned and ghastly factory halls in Wrocław to the derelict ruins of Świny Castle among the Polish mountains. Light up your incense, fill your goblet and delight in a darker shade of AMARANTHE!

"'Manifest' is the latest step in the evolution of AMARANTHE, and across the board it is the boldest statement: We are here to stay, we are utterly passionate about what we do and we will take no prisoners in our strive for musical excellence! An all-out metal rollercoaster, 'Manifest' does not hold back in any regard - from the first second to the last, it is brimful with some of the heaviest AMARANTHE riffs to date, soaring and emotional vocals and unrelenting metallic fury. We hope you will enjoy this album as much as we enjoyed making it!"
Together with this groundbreaking news, the band will share some impressive visuals accompanying the first single 'Viral' - celebrating the beginning of a new era with a breathtaking music video that will premiere tonight at 20.00 CEST, on the Nuclear Blast Youtube channel.
Set yourself a reminder, tune in and join the chat with AMARANTHE during and after the premiere: https://youtu.be/-A7BPXEBh1Q
AMARANTHE commented:
Finally we can unleash 'Viral' upon an unsuspecting world! It is one of the grooviest and downright heaviest songs in AMARANTHE's history - it is the very epitome of what we have always stood for: Massive choruses, a thundering rhythm section and a constant will to push our sound forward into the future. 'Viral' was prophetically titled before the onset of the current worldwide situation, and so we felt compelled to tie it in lyrically with this. Welcome to a new era of AMARANTHE history - welcome to 'Viral!'

These are uncertain times for live music in general, for artists and their fans. With heavy hearts, AMARANTHE and BEYOND THE BLACK decided to postpone the dates of their joint "European Co-Headline Tour" from the end of 2020 to spring 2021, so that fans of both bands have the same chances to attend the planned co-headline-concerts. As intensive, safe, and unlimited as possible.
AMARANTHE about the decision:
We are massively looking forward to crush Europe with a new album in our pockets - but 2020 doesnt seem to be the year to rock the big places due to the pandemic. As tough as it is to be patient, we will play by the rules and move this monster of a tour into 2021. Stay healthy and see you soon!
BEYOND THE BLACK's Jennifer Haben adds:
"We couldn't wait to be finally back on tour since the beginning of the year and are shocked by the current situation not only affecting BEYOND THE BLACK but also the whole music industry. Though, we took a courageous decision to (hopefully) create better preconditions. For our fans and especially for the ones who cannot leave the house without concerns and limitations at the moment."
The tickets remain valid for the new dates. For refunds, please contact your ticket seller.

Excellent news from AMARANTHE: The band just finished the studio recordings for their new masterpiece! The sixth studio album from the Swedish modern metal heroes will be out on August, 28th, as the band revealed in a digital press conference last weekend.
The band states:
Our sixth album is now completely DONE! Last Sunday, a few select press members and music industry professionals got the opportunity to hear our new effort, and the response was overwhelming, fanning our flames of excitement even further! We can now offically unveil that the album will be out on August 28th, and the entire AMARANTHE band and team is smouldering with anticipation to unleash this monster upon an unsuspecting world - stay tuned for the most monumental and accomplished AMARANTHE record to date!
More information on this highly anticipated album will follow soon. Check the AMARANTHE and NUCLEAR BLAST channels to stay up to date!
With their foundations tracing back to 2008, the group has released 5 albums since then (2011's »Amaranthe,« 2013's »The Nexus,« 2014's »Massive Addictive,« 2016's »Maximalism,« and 2018's »Helix«), consistently delivering hauntingly catchy tunes led by their unique three-part vocals. Within their arsenal of hit singles - with 'Drop Dead Cynical' leading right at the front - a myriad tracks have been received very well via press and fans alike; having also gained countless plays on both radio stations around the globe and across streaming services (the group's songs have been streamed close to a billion times on Spotify). A string of support tours have blazed AMARANTHE's trail in front of huge crowds as well as at their own headline concerts (the group impressively once performed in front of 10,000 fans at Liseberg, Gothenburg). They have kept working incredibly hard over the years, the latest product of which culminated in the form of »Helix,« which achieved them some of their highest chart positions in the band's history (Switzerland #21, Germany #29 etc.).

AMARANTHE and BEYOND THE BLACK kick off their joint European Co-Headline tour in Munich, November 13th, to spread the news of a new metal generation across the continent.
Olof Mörck, AMARANTHE's guitarist and founding member, about the massive cooperation:
"Hot of the heels of our fantastic tour with Sabaton, AMARANTHE are now incredibly enthusiastic about playing full-length sets all across Europe this fall! We will share the bill with our German comrades-in-arms BEYOND THE BLACK, so expect a full evening of ponderous melodic metal set to satisfy even the most fastidious connoisseur of the heavy arts! You can expect a lot from our shows on this run; a completely novel visual experience, a pristine new set list - and quite a bit of NEW music! Don't miss this absolute titan of a tour, when it stops by a city near you this autumn!"
BEYOND THE BLACK fronter Jennifer Haben adds:
"We're thrilled to join forces with our friends in Amaranthe for the biggest headline tour both bands have ever played. BEYOND THE BLACK and AMARANTHE together is a perfect fit and we're more than ready to make these nights huge!"

We are ready to present a very special Valentine’s Day gift: AMARANTHE spice up the day with a brand-new song featuring Angela Gossow, the former singer of ARCH ENEMY!
"Do Or Die" shows AMARANTHE’s heavier side and comes with a dystopian horror video filmed in Spain, featuring Fardou Keuning's stunning creatures
Brave enough? Watch the video here:
Angela Gossow about the breathtaking collaboration sincerely spicing up your Valentine's Day:
"It was thrilling to join AMARANTHE for a more extreme track and shooting a cutting edge video for it! This is no cozy studio performance, but real ice cold winds, sewages, cadavers and pouring rain - the reality we live in, the devastating legacy we leave to our future generations. Time to wake up, turn - and bang - some heads! Watch out for these guys and killer lady, they are going to crush you this year with a new album and some heavy touring!!!"
Guitarist Olof Mörck states,
"While AMARANTHE's music is often uplifting, energetic and positive, sooner or later everyone needs to deal with the obvious fact that the world is literally crumbling around us - and it is crumbling fast, thanks to the short sighted abuse of our common Mother Earth! We talked to legendary Angela Gossow of ARCH ENEMY fame to do an entire package of a video and a song, outside of any normal album cycle, and let our different perspectives on metal collide in a massive explosion; and it resulted in Do or Die! Together with Overbeck Media who shot the video, we delivered something really quite special, and Angela brings in a fresh strength to the trademark AMARANTHE sound that is sure to resound all across the metal world! Death and Fire!!!"

This is our tribute to the upcoming tour partners Sabaton. The original version can be found on SABATON's current hit album »The Great War« (2019).
People who are familiar with AMARANTHE know that we do not frequently do covers, but there was something quite irresistible about interpreting SABATON's '82nd All The Way'! While being thematically different from most of our songs, musically it made perfect sense, and it was a joy to pick the song apart and put it back together to something classically AMARANTHE sounding! So, this is our small tribute to the mighty Swedish War Machine that is SABATON; '82nd All The Way'!

Official press release:
Today, Nuclear Blast is very pleased to announce the signing of modern metal outfit AMARANTHE. The Swedish/Danish six-piece is currently working on their 6th studio album, which will tentatively be unleashed in 2020. More big announcements are currently in the pipeline, stay tuned!
AMARANTHE's Olof Mörck states,
"It feels amazing to unveil our cooperation with the giants at Nuclear Blast! Ever since we held our shiny new Nuclear Blast CD's in our teenage hands back in the mid-90's, they have been at the forefront of bringing the best of the best to the metal scene, and to have them as partners is a dream come true! They are not only massively experienced in the metal scene, but also wonderful people and it has been a pleasure getting to know them. We are already nailing down great plans for the future, and things are looking brighter and stronger for AMARANTHE than ever! Keep your eyes open for our next leap forward together in the near future!"
Marcus Hammer, Managing Director of Nuclear Blast, adds,
"We're more than happy to welcome AMARANTHE and Kult Management to the Nuclear Blast family. I've already been following the group for a while as they were touring with some of their new label mates. Being both great musicians and humans, that have a clear vision and are supported by an experienced team in the back, it was a no-brainer to try to win this outstanding band for our roster. Now we're stoked to be the new partner at their side pursuing one goal: adding a successful next chapter to their already shiny career. The future looks bright for both, AMARANTHE and Nuclear Blast."
With their foundations tracing back to 2008, the group have released 5 albums since then (2011's »Amaranthe,« 2013's »The Nexus,« 2014's »Massive Addictive,« 2016's »Maximalism,« and 2018's »Helix«), consistently delivering hauntingly catchy tunes led by their unique three-part vocals. Within their arsenal of hit singles - with 'Drop Dead Cynical' leading right at the front - a myriad tracks have been received very well via press and fans alike; having also gained countless plays on both radio stations around the globe and across streaming services (the group's songs have been streamed more than 100 million times on Spotify). A string of support tours have blazed AMARANTHE's trail in front of huge crowds as well as at their own headline concerts (the group impressively once performed in front of 10,000 fans at Liseberg, Gothenburg). They have kept working incredibly hard over the years, the latest product of which culminated in the form of »Helix,« which achieved them some of their highest chart positions in the band’s history (Switzerland #21, Germany #29 etc.).
Before AMARANTHE enter the studio once again, the sextet will embark on their Scandinavian »Helix« tour in November 2019, followed by a support tour with Swedish metal giants SABATON alongside Finnish cello metallers APOCALYPTICA set to take place early next year (incl. 5 recently unveiled headline dates in between). All tour dates can be found here.

We will have the super talented gang in BEYOND THE BLACK along with us, and our long-time friends in Swedish powerhouse SMASH INTO PIECES.

Swedish melodic rock titans Amaranthe have dropped the video for "The Helix," which is the title track from the band's most recent album. Watch it here:
"'The Helix' is the title track of the album, and in many ways, it's the quintessential Amaranthe song, as well as very representative of the entire album musically and lyrically," said guitarist Olof Mörck. "We teamed up with director wizard Patric Ullaeus once more to create something perfectly fitting to the song, and obviously Ullaeus never disappoints."
He continues, "Thematically, the video represents the inner and outer journey of overcoming one's fears, the obstacles and the people holding you back, and to ultimately find your true self — 'The Helix' and the core of your soul."
Amaranthe are embarking on a Scandinavian call this fall and will tour with Sabaton and Apocalyptica in 2020.

Amaranthe release their 3rd single from the upcoming album "HELIX"!
MELODIC METAL TRAILBLAZERS AMARANTHE RELEASE "COUNTDOWN" SINGLE + VIDEO
NEW STUDIO ALBUM HELIX OUT OCTOBER 19th VIA SPINEFARM RECORDS
THE VIDEO TEAMS THE BAND UP WITH LONGTIME VISUAL COLLABORATOR - DIRECTOR PATRIC ULLAEUS.
"As the days and weeks are getting closer to the release of 'HELIX', what better way to illustrate our excitement and veritable impatience than by releasing our second single titled 'Ccountdown'? Drawing upon a darker theme and subject matter than your typical AMARANTHE song, the sonic landscape itself forms a perfect counterpoint to this more serious side of the band. The contrasts have perhaps never been stronger, the ambitions never higher, and confidence never more solid - AMARANTHE in 2018 in its purest, most distilled form is 'Countdown'." Commented Amaranthe guitarist and composer Olof Mörck.
Four albums into their career, Amaranthe have racked up north of 118 million YouTube views and half-a-billion song streams, have landed at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart three times, and possess a panoply of gold and platinum discs for albums and singles alike.
With their electrifying fifth album HELIX due out October 19 through Spinefarm Records and armed with new singer Nils Molin, Amaranthe take another leap forward in their sonic evolution.
HELIX proves the band has refined its melodic sensibilities ever further while retaining a cutting-edge metal assault. The band is as massively aggressive as ever and the second video and single “Countdown” once again showcases the band’s unique musical sound and vision.”

In support of the new album, Amaranthe will embark on a European Tour with Powerwolf in October / November.

"365", the new video from Swedish melodic metallers AMARANTHE, can be seen below. The clip was once again directed by Patric Ullaeus of Revolver Film Company, who has previously worked with DIMMU BORGIR, LACUNA COIL, IN FLAMES and KAMELOT, among others.
"365" is the first single from AMARANTHE's fifth album, which will be released later in the year. The disc was recorded at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark with producer Jacob Hansen (VOLBEAT, EPICA, DELAIN). The follow-up to 2016's "Maximalism" marks the band's first release with DYNAZTY's Nils Molin, who officially joined AMARANTHE in July 2017 as the replacement for Jake E.
Commented guitarist Olof Mörck: "With a newborn album, it is easy for an artist to fall into hyperbole and rants of how it is the best thing you have ever done — but for the first time, I can confidently say that this album very certainly the best and strongest of our entire career."
Added vocalist Elize Ryd: "I have loved every second to write, create and making this album. I can't wait to reveal the name of our fifth baby, let it loose into the world to live its own life and spread the message all by itself. It feels to me already like the most strong and confident child of ours. The support has been important, and I'm so grateful to everyone involved."
Four albums into their career, Swedish melodic metallers AMARANTHE have racked up north of 118 million YouTube views and half a billion song streams, have landed at No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart three times, and possess a panoply of gold and platinum discs for albums and singles alike.
With its electrifying fifth album "Helix" due out October 19 through Spinefarm Records and armed with new singer Nils Molin, AMARANTHE takes another leap forward in its sonic evolution.
"Helix" proves the band has refined its melodic sensibilities ever further while retaining a cutting-edge metal assault. The band is as massively aggressive as ever and the first single "365" is the perfect example of such — its seductively velvety mix of contemporary pop and modern metal will take up residence in your brain for days.
"And so the time is finally NOW! We have been itching to release this monster of a track — '365' represents the AMARANTHE sound in every conceivable way," commented guitarist Olof Mörck. "The foundation is the heaviest and most down-tuned soundscape we have produced to date, from the bone-crunching guitars and drums, all the way to the juggernaut keyboards kicking off the song. The '365' video was shot with Patric Ulleaus to perfectly counterpoint the take-no-prisoners approach of the song, undeniably demonstrating the unity and chemistry of the AMARANTHE lineup."
He added: "The 'Helix' album itself is a statement, a declaration and an assertion that we are here to stay, and that the songwriting and musicianship has been honed and maximized to the highest level yet on an AMARANTHE record. The process of composing this album with Elize [Ryd] was as inspiring as it was smooth, and from a composer's and arranger's perspective, a dream collaboration. The time is nigh, the die is cast, and all the stars are right: the 'Helix' will steamroll across the globe, and in its wake, the touring machine that is AMARANTHE will conquer all!"
Vocalist and composer Elize Ryd offered her take, saying: "'Helix' describes the concept of how the past forms us and how life makes us become. No excuses, no regrets. We express the challenges and the uplifting moments in time, and all that in between with the sounds that we love. We want to dedicate this album to all the fighters and friends out there."
