Interview with ELIZE RYD, lead vocalist with Swedish modern metallers AMARANTHE
We recently had the absolute pleasure to chat with Elize Ryd from Swedish modern heavy metal legends AMARANTHE.
We talk about the beginnings of the band, the need for 3 vocalists, singing in Finland for the annual “Heavy Christmas” shows for 10 years, the upcoming 1st Australian tour, and a whole lot more !!!
Many laughs and smiles were had throughout the chat. Was an absolute pleasure Elize 🙂 Heja Sverige !!!
We also made the decision that Olof and Nils would take it for the team, and do the shoey’s on the Australian Tour haha…
After conquering stages across the globe and on the back of their stunning new album The Catalyst, Swedish metal virtuosos AMARANTHE are finally set to embark on their first ever tour of Australia.
AMARANTHE have walked their own unique path from the start. With a sound that combines the sharpest, cutting edges of modern melodic metal, electronic rock and razor-sharp pop, their impact was immediate and undeniable. Their music is absurdly infectious, genre defining and is led by the unique 3-way vocal assault of the electrifying Elize Ryd, Mikael Sehlin & Nils Molin who deliver an unprecedented aural attack that is complimented by scything guitars and pulsating keyboard passages.
Now 7-albums deep into their career, amassing hundreds of millions of streams and captivating metal enthusiasts worldwide since 2008 AMARANTHE have been an unwavering breath of invigorating fresh air. Now the time is right for AMARANTHE to showcase their incomparable sound and blistering live show to Australian audiences.
Expect to hear a setlist full of AMARANTHE’s hit global anthems ‘Drop Dead Cynical’, ‘Digital World’, ‘Damnation Flame’, ‘Re-Vision’, ‘The Nexus’, ‘Archangel’ and more! Sweden’s masters of thunderous, melodic futurism are about to show fans what has made them one of Metal’s most exciting acts.
