AMARANTHE is proud to announce new tour dates for Ukraine, Belarus and Russia!
Olof Mörck comments: "It is with great excitement that we announce these shows in the Ukraine, Belarus and Russia! We did not play Russia in 2018, it's been several years since we played Belarus, and playing the Ukraine for the first time this year was phenomenal - plus, we get to play our very first east coast Russian shows ever! Expect a full 'HELIX' experience to thunder all across the east next spring!"

New album HELIX out now!
The wait is over: HELIX it's here!
It's our new album and it's out now!
"In the wake of the two European tour legs with POWERWOLF, we of course wanted to play a row of headline shows! These will be full length AMARANTHE experiences like none you have experienced before, and we are beyond excited to perform as much of our new opus 'HELIX' as possible! Joining us on this run are our friends in FOLLOW THE CIPHER and WARKINGS, so expect a full evening filled with varied range of crushing melodic metal!" Commented Amaranthe guitarist and composer Olof Mörck.
To support the release of their electrifying fifth album HELIX (in stores Friday), Amaranthe will stay on the road through 2019, bringing their outstanding live show to fans all over the world.
Amaranthe release their 3rd single from the upcoming album "HELIX"!
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.

"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."
In support of the new album, AMARANTHE will embark on a European tour with POWERWOLF in October and November.
You will have to have a ticket to the concert as well. You will need both tickets upon entry, just this ticket will not suffice. The location and time of the Meet & Greet will be announced later.
