AMARANTHE IN CONCERT:
Swedish metal fusion band Amaranthe has been making waves with their unique hybrid of power metal, pop music, and eurodance. Their intricate, sonically expansive compositions feature kaleidoscopic synths, aggressive guitars, growling male vocals, and the ethereal pop vocals of female clean vocalist Elize Ryd. These disparate elements fuse together perfectly at the group's jaw-dropping live shows, where their energy and technical virtuosity bring ambitious tracks like "Hunger" and "The Nexus" to life. Fans of envelope-pushing, hair-raising metal won't want to miss Amaranthe on their upcoming tour dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Amaranthe formed in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2008 under the name Avalanche. After legal issues required them to change their name in 2009, they released their demos as an EP titled Leave Everything Behind. After several years of playing shows and honing their sound, the group released their self-titled 2011 debut album. The provocative release was controversial among metal critics for its use of pop melodies and eurodance elements, while open-minded fans almost unanimously loved it -- the album was a chart success in both Sweden and Finland. Their 2013 sophomore album The Nexus was an even bigger success, landing at No. 12 on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart and earning them a growing fanbase in the US. A high-octane live act boasting six talented musicians, Amaranthe continues to blow minds with their intense live shows on tour.

Couldn't of asked for more for their last stop on their US/Canada Tour. One of the best experiences i'll ever have, and can't wait for them to return in the future.
We were super stoked to see Amaranthe just to be let down by the venue. They couldn't get their sound right and had everything up so high (bass etc) that it drowned out the vocals! Super disappointed by the venue NOT the band(s).
First band of the night was very entertaining-from the drummer with the mask to the guitarist in the crowd. Failure Anthem seemed tired and ready for a break. Citizen Zero was talented, but I didn't want a kid to be singing. I guess thats cool for some people and the young man, but... Amaranthe was good and the talent was there. Not sure why the bassist was given all that time to talk to the crowd. I was there for music entertainment, not a comedy or story time show. As far as the venue? It was a great place for this sort of thing. Lots of parking, decent food at a very fair price and clean bathrooms. Beer was too high at 5 bucks for a small cup. Also, the sound wasn't good. I could hear the singers mics alot better to my left. Overall, I recommend and look forward to another visit.
They were all unforgettable!! Found four new favorites and a renewed favorite
My first time at the Belasco and I loved it! Amaranthe was amazing live! Great show and tons of energy! Flawless!
This is my third time seeing Amaranthe live and they have been amazing each time. They are full of energy and really get involved with the crowd to get everyone moving around and singing.
Another awesome show. 4th time seeing them. They always sound great. A fun band to watch. Great crowd interaction.
Great venue, great show, great event staff. My only complaint is the horrible drunken woman standing next to me that kept flailing her arms in front of my face purposely to block my view.
I had been waiting since late last year to see these guys in concert. Though I felt that their performance should have been longer. They play great and it's the type of metal where you can still understand the singers as opposed to all the growling and roaring.
