About

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.

    To start off, the venue was great as always, staff was pleasant, and drinks were served promptly. Besides the constant threat of venue being closed I really enjoy coming here. Lullwater was the opening act and they sounded really good. They just didn't have the stage presence that I come to shows to see. I really look forward to seeing them after they have had more experience and are more comfortable on stage. Next up were the Butcher Babies. As always they put on a great show. Constantly jumping around and getting fan interaction. Even the guitarist was hopping up on the ego risers to hype everyone up. After the show their line for the mercy booth was crazy. The band was back there signing stuff, taking photos, kissing babies. I was shocked to see how many people left after their set was over. Finally we get to the headliner Amaranthe. I won't lie, I was a little disappointed after being told how great they are live. I have a feeling that the small stage contributed to that though. They sounded really great though, almost studio. My biggest issue was that part way through the show they ended it, went off stage and then came back on to play more. It just felt really contrived.

    Amaranthe- High Octane Performance

    by KyleS74 on 11/6/14Masquerade - Atlanta

    Wow!!! What an awesome concert. Amaranthe put on a high energy performance. They interacted with crowd really well. I love their music and the mixture melodic power metal, pop metal, electronica, and growling vocals. One of the best live concerts I've been to.

    Amaranthe was briliant

    by JackWayne on 11/5/14House of Blues Houston - Houston

    Saw Amaranthe in the Houston House of Blues Peacock Room, Crowd was about 300 and very energetic. Sang every song very loudly and the band did not disappoint. They covered most of their albums in the hour and a half show. Love that 3 part harmony they do!

    Sweeden's Amaranthe Rocks Houston

    by Amy456 on 11/3/14House of Blues Houston - Houston

    This incredible show was at the House of Blues small room, the Bronze Pelican Room, which has a maximum capaity of 178. Being one of the first in line, I was able to secure my spot against the front barricade, center stage. Amaranthe was amazing in this intimate, up close and personal setting giving 110% on this night just as they do in front of festival crowds upwards of 20K-30K. Their energy-filled setlist included 19 of their best songs and a drum solo, including six awesome tracks from their new album, Massive Addictive. The fans in attendance were mostly loyal ones as they were singing along with nearly every song from the opener (Digital World) to "Hunger", "Invincible" and "The Nexus" to the smash ballad "Amaranthine". The intimate setting allowed the band to have many personal moments with their fans and they took full advantage of that. You could tell that despite the small crowd, Amaranthe was having a fantastic time playing their songs and entertaining their fans. I think it's safe to say that no one left the Bronze Pelican Room feeling short-changed on this night that belonged to AMARANTHE!

    Amaranthe - Atlanta Review

    by MichaelStopka333 on 11/3/14Masquerade - Atlanta

    On a rainy, freezing Halloween night, Amaranthe seemed so out of place in such a small venue. Their presence and energy (and their clear professionalism and dedication to the sound of the show) lopsided the small crowd - probably with very little effort on their part. You can tell they held back a bit, but not lazily, of course. This is one of those bands that have it difficult in America due to the "new" type of music the U.S. so diligently propagates. That is very unfortunate, but that only adds to the loyalty of their fan base and adds to the intimacy of their shows... They are a top-notch band - and with their new album I suspect great success in other parts of the world where there isnt so much spoon-fed propaganda to the youth of the nation. God bless Europe! They have some incredible bands and Amaranthe is at the top of that list.

    Amaranthe is the real deal.

    by TreyDavidWood on 11/3/14Masquerade - Atlanta

    This is a band that has received a lot of hate in the metal community for their inclusion of electronic / pop elements in their music, but I've always loved their sound, even as far back as when you couldn't even buy their first CD in the states. Whether or not you enjoy their style, there should be no debate about the quality of their musicianship. They are an amazing, talented band, and their performance was completely off the charts. The three vocalists sounded great, just as good as they do on their albums, and the guitar playing and drumming were insane. I think critics should be made to attend at least one live show of Amaranthe's before they throw around their "not real metal" accusations. The band members are also quite funny and charming, and their personalities really shine through when they are addressing the crowd. I've seen Kamelot, Dragonforce, Epica, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation, Blind Guardian, Leave's Eyes, In This Moment, and others, and Amaranthe's show is one of my absolute favorites. Extremely recommended!

    Band was great, sound guy should be fired!

    by Mikedaguitarguy on 10/30/14House of Blues New Orleans - New Orleans

    Doors opened 1.5 hours late due to issues with the sound system, the opening band was ok, but not a band I would run out and see...Amaranthe kicked ass despite the sound system issues. What I take much issue with it how loud they had things for such a small room...I am all for loud, but that room and that system (especially the system) was not built for such a volume assault. Things were pushed to the max where initially they were distorted, then only backed off enough not to distort...there was not enough headroom for even that as the sound was still noisy; one couldn't hear the music clearly.

    Best Concert Ever

    by dragonhunter281 on 10/29/14House of Blues Houston - Houston

    The energy was simply amazing. Everyone that went knew all the songs, and they got to to play for almost an hour and 20 minutes. I got pretty close and I will go as far to say it was the best concert I have been to. I can only imagine that they will be better when they come through next time considering this time was their first amd it was a HUGE success.

    Spectacular

    by jaynesteins on 10/29/14House of Blues Houston - Houston

    The venue was small, nut that didn't take away from the wonderful experience. Amaranthe was great, the openers were okay, and the crowd was enthusiastic and receptive (which may be partially due to the bar within the venue). Overall it was a great experience and I can't wait for them to come back to North America!

    The concert was great overall. The venue was rather small, which had an intimate feel, but Amaranthe still rocked out and gave an unforgettable show. The energy and mood of the crowd was also great and getting in and out of the event was seamless. The opening acts did not blow me away and they seemed a little louder than they needed to be.

    Amaranthe was an incredible experience!!

    by LessGRM on 10/29/14House of Blues Houston - Houston

    I loved the concert in general. It was in a small venue which allowed us tone close to the band members. The band interacted with the public and we even had a chance to take a pic and talk to them. The audio in general wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Besides that, everything was great.

    awesome show!

    by urbwar on 7/20/13Gramercy Theatre - New York

    All 3 bands on the bill (Flames of Fury, Kobra and the Lotus and Amaranthe) put on an amazing show. One of the best I've been to in years.
