Last month, Nuclear Blast announced the signing of modern metal outfit AMARANTHE. To break up the recording sessions for their upcoming, yet-untitled 2020 studio album, the Swedish/Danish group kick off their 8-date »Helix Nordic Tour 2019« next week. In anticipation of the tour and to give fans a taster of what they can expect at the shows, AMARANTHE have launched a drum cam video, in which Morten Løwe Sørensen can be seen performing the track ‘Call Out My Name’ during their show at the Ice Hall in Helsinki on February 16, 2019. Watch the video by Antti Kangasaho now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwWcKnvu2hg
The band will be returning to North American shores in support of their new record in August 2020. Support on this run comes from their label mates, Finnish heavy metal sextet BATTLE BEAST, as well as US-based theatrical metallers SEVEN SPIRES. Tickets as well as ticket + new album bundles are now available from amaranthe.soundrink.com. All upcoming AMARANTHE dates can be found below!
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.).
