It’s seven days into the new year and the party isn’t over yet: today, Swedish metal heroes Amaranthe release a remix of their new single ‘PvP‘ – a catchy, energetic piece built to break dancefloors across the world. Check out this 2022 club season anthem here: https://amaranthe.bfan.link/pvp-remix Olof Mörck comments: “Let’s start this year with bang! If you’re still horizontal from the holiday’s indulgences, here’s what we ordinate to get you picked up in style: a danceable yet crushing remix of ‘PvP’, that works as well with your gaming session as it does in the club! Remixed by Elias Holmlid, who has previously lent his talents to ‘Amaranthine’ and ‘Crystalline’, this interpretation will hit harder than any new year fireworks!” ‘PvP‘was the official anthem for the Swedish team at the international e-sports world championship. The video was directed by Poland’s Grupa13, who previously worked with the band on ‘Archangel‘ and ‘Boom!1‘. ‘PvP‘video:https://youtu.be/aiX1Rc6dTJQ Stream or download ‘PvP‘: https://amaranthe.bfan.link/pvp |

Amaranthe have spent the last decade establishing themselves as a formidable, positive and fervently melodic force for metallic good. From their explosive self-titled debut in 2011 to the more sophisticated, streamlined likes of 2014’s Massive Addictive and its immaculate follow-up Maximalism (2016), Amaranthe have masterfully blurred the lines between melodic metal, crushing brutality, cinematic sweep and futuristic sparkle. Led by the endlessly ingenious songwriting of guitarist Olof Mörck and powerhouse vocalist Elize Ryd, their rise to prominence has been a joy to behold.
Widely acclaimed as a dazzling live act, the Swedes reached a new peak of creativity on 2018’s hugely successful Helix: an album that pushed the band’s vision to new heights, breadths and depths, while showcasing the brilliance of Elize and her co-vocalists, Henrik Englund Wilhelmsson and recent recruit Nils Molin.
Not just a glorious return but a wholesale upgrade for their exuberant sound, Manifest is simply the most daring album that Amaranthe have released to date. The perfect antidote to the nagging anxieties plaguing us all in these troubled times, it’s a technicolour celebration of metal’s ageless power, blazing with all of life’s colours and chaos, but delivered with utmost artistry and skill.
