For Immediate Release March 1, 2013 AMARANTHE Unveils New Track ‘Mechanical Illusion’ Today -- New Album ‘The Nexus’ Due for U.S. Release on March 26th via Spinefarm Records th Hitting Stores Internationally on March 25 also via Spinefarm Records New Music Video for ‘The Nexus’: Racking Up 916,000 Views on VEVO and Counting! Swedish/Danish modern metal sextet AMARANTHE are streaming a brand new track today, entitled ‘Mechanical Illusion’, on their official website, www.amaranthe.se. ‘Mechanical Illusion’ is cut from their forthcoming sophomore album, The Nexus, due for release in the U.S. on March 26, 2013 via Spinefarm Records. The Nexus will be released everywhere else internationally one day prior on March 25, 2013, also via Spinefarm Records. In the words of AMARANTHE guitarist/composer Olof Mörck, “To give a second taster of The Nexus is truly exciting! The first single and title track showed a familiar, yet amped-up AMARANTHE. ‘Mechanical Illusion’ is quite different from what people have heard from us so far. Probably the heaviest track yet, a dystopian vision steeped in a darkened futuristic atmosphere, combined with a mega-catchy chorus that is likely to ring in your head for days. Brace yourselves, the illusion is upon us!” AMARANTHE recently released their new music video for the title track, ‘The Nexus’, which alone has racked up an impressive 916,000 views in just one month! The video is available for viewing now on VEVO at this link. The video was directed by Patric Ullaeus, who has worked with names such as In Flames, Arch Enemy and Dimmu Borgir; he was also responsible for AMARANTHE video for ‘The Hunger’, the lead single from the band’s highly successful debut, now at a whopping 3.5 million YouTube views (and counting). The Nexus was produced by Jacob Hansen (whose credits include Volbeat, Dreamshade & Ginger Wildheart, and who worked on AMARANTHE’s 2011 self-titled debut). AMARANTHE is: Andy – vocals, Jake E – vocals, Elize – vocals, Olof Mörck – guitars & keys, Morten Løwe Sørensen – drums, Johan Andreassen – bass.

Interview with Amaranthe
Metal Symphony http://www.metalsymphony.com Interview with Amaranthe Interview with Jake E.Lee about "Amaranthe" promo, their last shows and much more... M.S: Hi, thank you for answering our questions. How are you? Jake: Thank you! All fine here. Right now we're in the tour bus towards Finland. Gonna do our first four headline shows there this week which I'm really looking forward to. M.S: What are your impressions about the Spanish audience after your concerts in here with Hammerfall? How was the tour? Jake: It's always a pleasure to come back to Spain. The crowd is energetic and you always feel welcome. The tour in general was fantastic. We met some troubles along the way, like a broken bus which forced us to cancel one show in Buckarest and some other minor setbacks, but besides that we had a blast and we had a great time with all of the bands on the tour. M.S: Can you tell us more about why Andy wasn't able to make it for some part of the European Tour? Jake: He just had to go home to take care of some personal business. Nothing stranger than that. We called in Richard from The Unguided and he did a tremendous job!! M.S: One could say that with everything you've achieved, you confirm your status as a big band... festivals, big tours, tons of views of your vids on youtube, and all these done with a style different from the one of your previous bands, can you tell us how do you see this "Amaranthe's revolution"? Jake: It's a big privilege to finally be able to live out the dreams you've had since you grew up with pictures of big bands on your wall.

The Influence of Role Models in Metal Musicians' Composing and Career
Niina Lämsä The influence of role models in metal musicians’ composing and career How do the songs come alive? Thesis CENTRIA UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES Music pedagogy June 2017 ABSTRACT Centria University Date Author of Applied Sciences June 2017 Niina Lämsä Degree programme Music pedagogy Name of thesis The influence of role models in metal musicians’ composing and career Instructor Pages Kirsti Rasehorn 20 The idea of this thesis was to study the influence of role models in metal musicians’ composing and career. The information was collected from theme interviews from the members of Amaranthe, Epica and Sonata Arctica and this thesis was written based on their answers using qualitative research. Based on the interviews we can say that each musician has taken some influences from their role models. The influences they take from other musicians’ songs are mostly the stylish or atmospherical influence. For all musicians, the common source of inspiration was books and movies. The role models affected these people in different ways, but what was common was that they have learned from them with consideration, following only the good practices. In this thesis I compared my own composing process to my role models’ composing processes. There was a lot in common, it turned out, that the most of these composers compose alone. The most important tips for aspiring composers were to “follow your heart”, “let the music choose you” and “never give up”.

Amaranthe and Their Six Men Strong Line-Up Had Decent Success with Their Debut Album, Released Two Years Ago

AMARANTHE Elize
AMARANTHE Elize Ryd - Vocals | Henrik Englund Wilhelmsson – Screams | Nils Molin – Vocals | Olof Mörck - Guitar, Keys | Johan Andreassen – Bass | Morten Løwe Sørensen - Drums MASSIVE. MODERN. METAL! These are the voyages of the visionary band AMARANTHE. Their ultimate mission: to explore the opaque realms between extreme metal and electronic tunes, to pioneer the invention of new approaches of joining two traditionally contradicting musical worlds, to boldly go where no metal band has gone before. Evolution requires visionaries. One of the biggest bangs of the modern metal universe happened in the fall of 2008. It was the Finland-based label Spinefarm Records that took the proverbial cake. In April 2011 the band released their eponymous debut album to worldwide acclaim, charting high in Sweden and Finland. Right off the bat tapping the vein of the digital music revolution, AMARANTHE was the 84th most played album on Spotify in the whole world, all genres included. After 92 live shows in support of the eponymous debut, AMARANTHE returned to their creative home, Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark where the magic of the debut album was originally bottled. With THE NEXUS album, released in March 2013, and its life cycle everything went up another notch: the album featured more of melodic / edgier metal, and even more brazenly techno-influenced hard rock. The release was followed by a longer tour, more and higher chart entries including a #12 position on the US Billboard Heatseekers chart. The band’s career was now officially on an ever-upward trajectory. Wasting no time, the band returned to Ribe to concoct another potion of power.
