This is a single from their first self-titled album, released in 2011. The band has had some lineup changes since then. The clean male vocalist with the dreads in this video, Jake E. Lundberg, and the harsh male vocalist, Andreas Solvestrom, left the band in 2016 and 2013 respectively. Jake's vocals can be heard from the first album up until the fourth album, Maximalism, while Andreas lended his vocals for the first two albums, Amaranthe and The Nexus. Henrik Englund Wilhelmsson (his stage name is GG6) is the current harsh male vocalist and has been in the band since 2013. He can be heard from the third album and onward. Nils Molin is the current clean male vocalist and has been in the band since 2016. He can be heard on the two most recent albums, Helix and Manifest, the latter of which is there sixth studio album and was just released three days ago on October 2nd. Helix was the band's fifth album and was released in 2018. All other members have been in the band since its inception, those being Elize Ryd (clean female vocals), Olof Morck (guitars and keys), Morten Lowe Sorensen (drums), and Johan Andreassen (bass). They have a dynamic sound since there are three main vocalists. I'd recommend checking out these songs to see how the band has evolved over time: - "1,000,000 Light Years" (from their first album, Amaranthe, released in 2011) - "Invincible" and "The Nexus" (from their second album, The Nexus, released in 2013) - "Drop Dead Cynical" and "Digital World" (from their third album, Massive Addictive, released in 2014) - "Boomerang" and "Maximize" (from their fourth album, Maximalism, released in 2016) - "Dream", "365", and "GG6" (from their fifth album, Helix, released in 2018) - "Archangel" and "Fearless" (from their sixth album, Manifest, released in 2020) Thanks for checking this band out! They're awesome and so are you!
Great summary and suggestions, these are as good a start as any, they have loads of good songs. Olof Mörck and Elize writes most of the songs too if I'm not mistaken.
I would really like to add "Helix" from the respective album to the list. Yeah, its sad that both male singers heard in this song since left the band, but the new additions are really really great in what they're doing
The European metal scene is so rich with great vocalists; I feel sorry for American pop fans, most of whom will never be exposed to any of this. Glad you got to Amaranthe! Definitely on the essential list.
Chase, you have the incredible ability to take songs I already love and, through your insights, make me love them even more. That's probably the greatest compliment I can give a reaction artist. Thanks!
Chase Carneson loving it! I am such a fan of their music. Power metal meets euro pop, what more could you want? With some pop diva riffs thrown in for good measure.
What I love about Amaranthe is a lot of their songs (especially the older stuff) is structured like a classic pop song, just a lot heavier. You could almost imagine them being on Eurovision
Yaaaaaaas, I’ve Been waiting for you to pick up on Amaranthe, as you said they’re so technically “sound” as musicians with the style that they’re a little more palatable for people who may not be into such heaviness but they mix enough metal in to really get a great sounds for us Metal heads that they’re great at introducing Metal to people that typically wouldn’t listen to it as I have done with SEVERAL co workers all of whom are more avid listeners. They’re awesome and I’m so glad to get Amaranthe into the mix.
Welcome to Swedish electronicore, Chase! Amaranthe is just the tip (and most mainstream) of the iceberg. Can't wait for you to get into Sonic Syndicate, Dead By April and Scar symmetry! Scar symmetry is more melodeath / prog than the others, but remain a lot of the same electronicore elements.
"Why are they beating him up? I guess that's why he's angry" Hahahaha One thing you might want to keep in mind if it makes a difference in how you want to do a journey . . . they have since new guy singers, the cleans (in 2017) and growls (in 2013). Elize is still there of course. The new-ish guys are really awesome too. Awesome older songs: Drop Dead Cynical, Digital World, The Nexus Awesome newer songs: Archangel, GG6, Fearless They also covered a Sabaton song, 82nd All The Way. You could do a 2-for-1
as much as i love andy (harsh vocals) and jake (clean male vocals), i love amaranthe even more with nils (new clean male vocalist) and henrik (aka gg6, harsh vocals). nils gives the songs even more power with his power metal like vocals and henrik... oh man his growling rap parts... specially on the songs gg6 and boom!
Fun facts : Elize auditioned as Nightwish's frontwoman back in 2005 after they fired Tarja. Her cover of Nemo can be found on RUclips. She was among the finalists but they felt she lacked experience and instead hired Anette Olzon. Years later, in 2012, during their North American Imaginaerum tour, Kamelot was Nightwish's support band, with Elize Ryd and Alissa White-Gluz as touring vocalists. When Anette fell ill minutes before Nightwish's Denver show, Elize and Alissa covered for her and the show went on with the two then-Kamelot-vocalists. That did not sit well with Anette who publicly condemned the band on her personal blog for not cancelling the show. This was the last straw and in the following days, Anette was fired and Floor joined the band as their touring vocalist. We know the rest of the story. So Nightwish and Elize Ryd have a history together and she was unwittingly instrumental in Floor joining Nightwish.
Chase: oh I didn’t know they had two singers Me: wait for it... Chase: so we got three vocalist. All Amaranthe videos are like little movies. They are so fun. They have a different line up now for the male vocalists, who personally, I prefer. But this is still like a great song.
Elize sent a demo to Tuomas when Nightwish were searching for a new singer after Tarja. Tuomas liked her, but he thought she was to young, he knew there would be a lot of writing and pressure on whoever became the new singer. So they chose Anette. Oh, Floor and Elize are good friends.
Perhaps a reaction the Elize audition for Nightwish where she sings Nemo? Still can't understand how they picked Anette over Elize, ut hey it gave us Amaranthe. ruclips.net/video/Mi9BtooY3Ko/видео.html
@@AlvenmodFoto i honestly dont think she woulda been a much better fit than anette was. they kinda have the same style but anette had experience, elize did not. and i can only imagine the pressure of replacing tarja as a 22yo upcoming singer. i think they made the right choice with anette even if it ultimately wasnt the best fit for the band
thekillingtomat yeah you're probably right, I do believe Elize outshines Anette though both in studio and live, I think she would have done a good job too. But as yiu say she was very young at the time, but it all turned out for the best, we got Floor in NW and Amaranthe from Elize. Win win. 😂
@@AlvenmodFoto i agree, i think elize is better than anette, but they have the same style. she wouldnt have been able to sing like tarja so fans would have been disappointed either way. we got two great bands out of it instead. three if you like the dark element (anettes band)
Their songs Helix and Countdown are also great. You can also check out Beyond the Black, another very good band and Elize is a guest artist on their new album.
Would love for you to listen to some of these following underrated bands. They are all awesome in their own way, just some of the bands I always come back to: "Ad Infinitum - Marching On Versailles" "In This Moment - The In-Between" "Cellar Darling - Insomnia"
I had a feeling you'd like the energy in Amaranthe's songs. Glad you finally got the chance to react to them. Would love to see you do either 1,000,000 Lightyears or 82nd All the Way next by them. Btw, 82nd All the Way is a cover, and the original is by Sabaton, so if you wanted you could react to both, either in the same video or one day after the next and see which version you like better of the two. Almost like a battle of the bands if you will.
Elize✨ ..... Helped Nightwish save their Denver gig along with Alissa.... Not unpleasant to watch either! 😉 ... 2 singers?... was waiting for it!!! 😄 yes, 3!... Olaf on guitar. The video of his wedding with Elize singing "Endlessly" is awesome.
What I love about Amaranthe, besides the 3 singers, is the production quality and clear influence from 80's synth music. They always use a lot of synthetizers, but they never overdo them.
If you're looking for a more recent track, "Viral" and "Archangel" from the new album are excellent. For some more "classic" Amaranthe go with "The Nexus" or "Drop Dead Cynical". I put "classic" in quotes because honestly to me they've sounded more or less the same since the beginning, but I'm curious to see if you hear any major differences in their sound between earlier and later stuff, aside from different vocalists.
My man Chase!! Nightwish, Sabaton and now Amaranthe! I think I might be in love, so glad to see you took Sabaton in yesterday and to see you enjoy Amaranthe today, can't wait for more reactions. Amaranthe has been around for a while so they have a great catalogue, I am sure youll get plenty of suggestions, if you want to d ve straight into their latest release yiu have Fearless, just released a few days ago, before that Archangel, Viral and Strong, all from the latest album Manifest. Swedin FTW.! 🇸🇪😂👊
You should check out their song Nexus, it´s feels kinda like hunger 2.0. Also, their Sabaton cover 82nd all the way is pretty awesome. If you want something less heavy, Amaranthine is a really good ballad.
"i didnt know there was 2 singers"... guys who's gonna tell him? I am a huge fan of this band, and i think Hunger is a really good place to start, yes it's old, but its one of their best works i think. on the other hand, by far the most of their songs are very very good (in a way that i subjectively enjoy them). I said it before and i say it again, i think you should listen to "The Nexus" and "Helix". Personally those two are my absolute favourites of this band.
YAAAS more Amaranthe please! Admittedly I haven't listened to their newer albums but I'm sure they're great. They've got their own sound, which is catchy and fantastic and they run with it.
If you really are looking for ballads, look for Amaranthe's Endlessly. The video for it was filmed at Olaf's wedding (he is the founder of the band and the main songwriter, he was the one seen in this video playing the violin). Absolutely amazing song.
One of my favorite bands, Hunger was the first Amaranthe vid I saw and I was hooked. Ordered every CD they did just got the new one last week. Love how they come up with epic vids to their music. I would say watch The Nexus next. That was my 2nd vid I watched from them but there are tons more!
Thanks for sharing your reaction. I had seen the band name on other videos but I never clicked until now. I'm gonna check out more of their tracks now😊👍✌
Yes! Amaranthe. Great band, even through some people claim they are too mainstream. I love them! "Amaranthine" "Viral" "Archangle" "Fearless" "Helix" "Digital World" are great songs from them. They also did a cover of Sabatons "82 all the way!" Have fun going down the rabbit hole! Great reaction as always.
Chase! Another rabbit hole for you...ohhhh yeah...my favorite group...a/1a with nightwish...within temptation...faster, a demons fate, in vein, mad world...too many to list...enjoy...oh..amaranth...razorblade🤟😎
Funny enough I found out about them cause I saw them opening for Babymetal last year. Yeah imagine getting a blind introduction to a band this good LIVE So yeah in the break between them & Babymetal I found out about their show with Sabaton & was there next year xD
Glad to see Amaranthe on the channel! For me they are a band with a very characteristic sound, and this song shows it very well, I was one of those who actually suggested it: D. As for what to listen to next, I leave a couple of suggestions: - A kind of power balad (old song, but for me, one of their best, and one with the best vocals by Elize): "Amaranthine" ruclips.net/video/D8lV1To-_fU/видео.html - Similar to Hunger (not so old or new): "Maximize (Official Video)" ruclips.net/video/nfk7YZJtmeo/видео.html - New album material: "FEARLESS (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)" ruclips.net/video/JzPUBTR4L_4/видео.html
Amaranthe - The Nexus Amaranthe - Digital World Amaranthe - 82nd all the way (Sabaton cover) Amaranthe - Burn with me Check out more from the lead guitarist, Olaf. Dragonland - The Black Mare Dragonland - Fire and Brimstone
Exactly my thoughts, you just put it so much more eloquently. :-) I like them for the same reasons, easily digestible, melodic, some synthwork, galloping drums; good introduction to these styles, but not too much of any one of them. Also, Elize and Alissa White-Gluz are massively in my good books, if you will, for their effort at saving the Nightwish show at Ogden Theater, Denver, in 2012. Hilarious, crazy and insanely epic at the same time. You can get a glimpse of that if you watch the first half-hour or so of their documentary "Please Learn the Setlist in 48 Hours", which is the story of how Floor came to join the band.
Watching your reactions to great parts in songs just hypes me up so much, the genuine joy in your face when breakdowns or solos hit gives me that sweet sweet seratonin. 💜 If I could also recommend an Amaranthe song, Invincible is my favorite from their older stuff
YEAH, AMARANTHE!!! Loved your analysis, I’ve been listening to this band for a long time and you made me discover new things about this song. Love how they create unparalleled catchy and energetic songs by mixing metal with this electronic/pop influence, as you said they make you want to dance. For the next one by them I would recommend “Electroheart” for even a catchier tune or “365” for a more calmer/ballad-y one.
its a good starting point since its pretty much their first song. their first album was an instant classic. every song is just awesome. my personal opinion is that they sounded better with their original lineup than they do now but the core of the band is still the same. i rly liked jake Es vocals and felt like something was missing without him. amaranthine is probably my favorite song by them, closely followed by drop dead cynical and the nexus.
I love Amaranthe! If you want to hear some of the current lineup, check out Countdown or Helix or songs from their latest album (out last week) like Viral, Archangel, or Do Or Die. Henrik's growls are fucking awesome and really mix well with Elize's poppy voice and Nils' power metal sound. And if you want to hear Elize sing a ballad listen to Endlessly or Amaranthine (old lineup). Another really fun song is Drop Dead Cynical, which has half of the old lineup and half of the new.
Hi Chase, loved the reaction as always, however, may I humbly request that you do an in memoriam reaction to celebrate the life of Eddie Van Halen who sadly lost his long fight against throat cancer. I'm sure you'll agree that undeniably he was such an influence on metal in general and I'm certain made most guitarists pick up a guitar and want to be just like him! If you can do this, could I suggest 'Eruption' live from way back in the 80's which shows him at his best and full of life or maybe the official music video for 'Hot for Teacher' which shows their great sense of humour and didn't take life too seriously! Rest in Eternal Peace Sir! 🎸😪 N.B Just found this one - it's perfect Chase. ruclips.net/video/I0EwfXA-apE/видео.html
So did you know that Elize Ryd was a finalist for Nightwish's search for a new singer after Tarja? They chose Annette based upon experience, Elize was pretty new back then. She's worked hard and has become a great singer. It's so ironic that it was Elize(along with Aiyssa White Gluz) who saved Nightwish in Denver in 2012, when Annette couldn't perform
Yay! I was waiting for this. They blew up with Hunger like crazy, they actually went viral with their first videos. Which blew me away back then. Aaah I'm enjoying this way too much. Also... (scared to say this) Morten (the drummer) is one of the reasons I knew I am gay. 😅 I never got the Elize stuff and couldn't figure out why no one was talking about the hotness of him. *silently goes away now'
Thumbs up for Chase's Mom! I enjoy me some Amaranthe, and how they make use of three vocalists. I wish they were slightly less... pop? Not the choruses, I love the choruses, but there's just something about them that I can only describe as sounding "pre-packaged." I fully understand it's a matter of taste, and that I'm probably not explaining it well, but it's just how they make me feel. Also, I love how Chase is the full gamut of air instruments now.
The behgining of this reminds me to my love don't cost a thing from J Lopez..... and i don't know why.... If you enjoy this "trance" fused with metal maybe you can check Rage of light. Their singer melissa is really amazing.
Over the past one or two years I became more and more fond of bands with more than one vocalist. Amaranth's quite nice, but actually I like "Brothers of Metal" a bit more. (Maybe I've got a soft spot for bands that don't take themselves seriously at all, like "Alestorm" and "Wind Rose", too.) Another discovery's "Visions of Atlantis'" newest album "Wanderers" when it comes down to great duets.
I really wish you would do more reactions to Amaranthe. So far, this is the only song you have critiqued, and there are so many great songs worthy of a listen, especially from their most recent CD, Manifest such as Arch Angel, Fearless, Boom, and Viral. In addition, you should check out Nils Molin's other band Dynazty, they are awesome! You can verify that with the song, Advent, from the upcoming CD in April or May. Take care and stay safe.
Awesome reaction as always! A few recommendations for future Amaranthe music (I've been listening to them since 2012), and these are in order from oldest to newest. - "Call Out My Name" from the self titled album Amaranthe is a great one with a similar sound, - both "Drop Dead Cynical" and "Digital World" from the album Massive Addictive shows the continuing evolution of their sound, - "Maximize" from the album Maximalism is probably the best known song from that album, - from the album Helix I'd look at "365", "Helix", and "GG6". I haven't gotten a chance to listen to the newest album yet, maybe I'll wait and do so here with the rest of the audience. :) Thanks as always Chase, have a damn good day.
Niceeee, one of the songs that introduced me to metal! I have a band suggestion: Lacuna Coil, great italian band with two singers and a great blend of metal styles! Any song from their newest album is great, "Layers of Time" is a good starting point. Keep up the great reactions!
Very glad you started with Amaranth, great band. You should do "The Nexus", "Amaranthine" and please please do "82nd all the way" cover of Sabaton (I prefer the studio version). Also the 2 male singers were changed at some point in Amaranthe's history. A side note: Elize was one of the 2 singers that helped Nightwish that day Anette could'nt play at Denver.
"No idea there were two singers".
But wait, there's more!
This is a single from their first self-titled album, released in 2011. The band has had some lineup changes since then. The clean male vocalist with the dreads in this video, Jake E. Lundberg, and the harsh male vocalist, Andreas Solvestrom, left the band in 2016 and 2013 respectively. Jake's vocals can be heard from the first album up until the fourth album, Maximalism, while Andreas lended his vocals for the first two albums, Amaranthe and The Nexus. Henrik Englund Wilhelmsson (his stage name is GG6) is the current harsh male vocalist and has been in the band since 2013. He can be heard from the third album and onward. Nils Molin is the current clean male vocalist and has been in the band since 2016. He can be heard on the two most recent albums, Helix and Manifest, the latter of which is there sixth studio album and was just released three days ago on October 2nd. Helix was the band's fifth album and was released in 2018. All other members have been in the band since its inception, those being Elize Ryd (clean female vocals), Olof Morck (guitars and keys), Morten Lowe Sorensen (drums), and Johan Andreassen (bass). They have a dynamic sound since there are three main vocalists. I'd recommend checking out these songs to see how the band has evolved over time:
- "1,000,000 Light Years" (from their first album, Amaranthe, released in 2011)
- "Invincible" and "The Nexus" (from their second album, The Nexus, released in 2013)
- "Drop Dead Cynical" and "Digital World" (from their third album, Massive Addictive, released in 2014)
- "Boomerang" and "Maximize" (from their fourth album, Maximalism, released in 2016)
- "Dream", "365", and "GG6" (from their fifth album, Helix, released in 2018)
- "Archangel" and "Fearless" (from their sixth album, Manifest, released in 2020)
Thanks for checking this band out! They're awesome and so are you!
I came here to say this in a less eloquent format, also Dynamite is a personal favorite of mine.
Great summary and suggestions, these are as good a start as any, they have loads of good songs. Olof Mörck and Elize writes most of the songs too if I'm not mistaken.
Nils is also lead singer of Dynazty. Morten's girlfriend is Melissa Bonny of Rage of Light and Ad Infinitum.
I would really like to add "Helix" from the respective album to the list.
Yeah, its sad that both male singers heard in this song since left the band, but the new additions are really really great in what they're doing
May I add Olof Morck is their producer of the first. They have tight clean production. He also is responsible for arrangements 🤘
The European metal scene is so rich with great vocalists; I feel sorry for American pop fans, most of whom will never be exposed to any of this. Glad you got to Amaranthe! Definitely on the essential list.
I recommend "Archangel" from their newest album.
I love it! freaking amazing \m/
i love how you airdrum so happily when a woman gets kidnapped. makes great out of context screenshots for frosty XD

Check out "Archangel" or "Fearless" from their new album... 🤘🏻
"GG6" now. Its probably one of their heaviest but also great video that looks like they are just having fun shooting it!! Awesome reaction👌
Their songs Helix and Countdown are also great. You can also check out Beyond the Black, another very good band and Elize is a guest artist on their new album.
Every accessible but killer at the same time. Awesome mix with all those vocals.
OMG Nightwish and Sonata Arctica. I'm so Subscribing to this.
Would love for you to listen to some of these following underrated bands. They are all awesome in their own way, just some of the bands I always come back to:
"Ad Infinitum - Marching On Versailles"
"In This Moment - The In-Between"
"Cellar Darling - Insomnia"

I'll second this, here's the link: ruclips.net/video/tIBkFX5QMx4/видео.html
I've been an Amaranthe fan for a very long time. I love what all their singers bring to the table.

I said it before and i say it again, i think you should listen to "The Nexus" and "Helix". Personally those two are my absolute favourites of this band.
YAAAS more Amaranthe please! Admittedly I haven't listened to their newer albums but I'm sure they're great. They've got their own sound, which is catchy and fantastic and they run with it.
If you really are looking for ballads, look for Amaranthe's Endlessly. The video for it was filmed at Olaf's wedding (he is the founder of the band and the main songwriter, he was the one seen in this video playing the violin). Absolutely amazing song.
First time listening to Amaranth! Great song! I like it 🤘🏻
When you say "highlight" and I hear "harlot" 😆 Hunger was my introduction to Amaranthe and I'm glad you finally got to it and enjoyed it too!
mine too. yeah ;-)
Great job on breaking the song down. Well done !!!
You were made for this.
Thank you kindly!
I recommend "Archangel" and "Do or Die" from their last album, and "Amaranthine"
One of my favorite bands, Hunger was the first Amaranthe vid I saw and I was hooked. Ordered every CD they did just got the new one last week. Love how they come up with epic vids to their music. I would say watch The Nexus next. That was my 2nd vid I watched from them but there are tons more!
Thanks for sharing your reaction. I had seen the band name on other videos but I never clicked until now.
I'm gonna check out more of their tracks now😊👍✌
A dream has come true! Looking forward to more Amaranthe reactions!
Thank you so much for this reaction video, Chase. You´re doing great. I really like your reaction videos. Great work :-).
Glad you like them!
This band was my childhood honestly. Haven't revisit them in quite a few years. Thanks for reminding me of their awesomeness, Chase! Great vid again
Don't. They got worse and worse...
Yes! Amaranthe. Great band, even through some people claim they are too mainstream. I love them! "Amaranthine" "Viral" "Archangle" "Fearless" "Helix" "Digital World" are great songs from them. They also did a cover of Sabatons "82 all the way!" Have fun going down the rabbit hole! Great reaction as always.
Chase! Another rabbit hole for you...ohhhh yeah...my favorite group...a/1a with nightwish...within temptation...faster, a demons fate, in vein, mad world...too many to list...enjoy...oh..amaranth...razorblade🤟😎
Yeeees finally! This was awesome! Just saw them live before the Pandemic when they were opening for Sabaton, it was an experience in itself.
The most underrated metal band ever! They are so freaking amazing! Try doing their new song FEARLESS next! Keep rockin’ it out! ❤️🤘🏻
I'm loving all the reactions to the wide varieties of music within metal, and so happy that you break them down so well to explain what is going on.
Wow.. first Sabaton and now Amaranthe. Maybe a double reaction comparing the song 82:nd all the way which Amaranthe do a super cover of.
Love this band. Saw them Live this year opening for Sabaton with Apocalyptica 😁
Amazing show as expected from a line up as epic as that xD
Funny enough I found out about them cause I saw them opening for Babymetal last year.
Yeah imagine getting a blind introduction to a band this good LIVE
So yeah in the break between them & Babymetal I found out about their show with Sabaton & was there next year xD
Glad to see Amaranthe on the channel! For me they are a band with a very characteristic sound, and this song shows it very well, I was one of those who actually suggested it: D.
As for what to listen to next, I leave a couple of suggestions:
- A kind of power balad (old song, but for me, one of their best, and one with the best vocals by Elize):
"Amaranthine"

- Similar to Hunger (not so old or new):
"Maximize (Official Video)"

- New album material:
"FEARLESS (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)"
ruclips.net/video/JzPUBTR4L_4/видео.html
Nightwish, Sabaton, Amaranth... !? What is happening here! I found a new home and I'm never gonna leave again. 😄
You can stay as long as you like!!!
Amaranthe - The Nexus
Amaranthe - Digital World
Amaranthe - 82nd all the way (Sabaton cover)
Amaranthe - Burn with me
Check out more from the lead guitarist, Olaf.
Dragonland - The Black Mare
Dragonland - Fire and Brimstone
FINALLY. I’ve been waiting for this day 😂
Exactly my thoughts, you just put it so much more eloquently. :-) I like them for the same reasons, easily digestible, melodic, some synthwork, galloping drums; good introduction to these styles, but not too much of any one of them. Also, Elize and Alissa White-Gluz are massively in my good books, if you will, for their effort at saving the Nightwish show at Ogden Theater, Denver, in 2012. Hilarious, crazy and insanely epic at the same time. You can get a glimpse of that if you watch the first half-hour or so of their documentary "Please Learn the Setlist in 48 Hours", which is the story of how Floor came to join the band.
I love Amaranthe!! So much energy in every song. Glad that you'll be featuring them more. My favorite song is Razorblade.
Try Helix / Do or Die / Maximize / 365.
“The Nexus” is another movie-like video from this band. This song was my intro to Amaranthe.
Watching your reactions to great parts in songs just hypes me up so much, the genuine joy in your face when breakdowns or solos hit gives me that sweet sweet seratonin. 💜
If I could also recommend an Amaranthe song, Invincible is my favorite from their older stuff
YEAH, AMARANTHE!!!
Loved your analysis, I’ve been listening to this band for a long time and you made me discover new things about this song.
Love how they create unparalleled catchy and energetic songs by mixing metal with this electronic/pop influence, as you said they make you want to dance.
For the next one by them I would recommend “Electroheart” for even a catchier tune or “365” for a more calmer/ballad-y one.
She auditioned for Nightwish. There’s a demo tape on youtube where she sings Nemo
She filled in for Nightwish in the infamous Denver concert where Annette was dismissed right after.
its a good starting point since its pretty much their first song. their first album was an instant classic. every song is just awesome.
my personal opinion is that they sounded better with their original lineup than they do now but the core of the band is still the same. i rly liked jake Es vocals and felt like something was missing without him.
amaranthine is probably my favorite song by them, closely followed by drop dead cynical and the nexus.
Stellar video Chase. Very much enjoyed.
I love Amaranthe! If you want to hear some of the current lineup, check out Countdown or Helix or songs from their latest album (out last week) like Viral, Archangel, or Do Or Die. Henrik's growls are fucking awesome and really mix well with Elize's poppy voice and Nils' power metal sound. And if you want to hear Elize sing a ballad listen to Endlessly or Amaranthine (old lineup). Another really fun song is Drop Dead Cynical, which has half of the old lineup and half of the new.
That made my day haha the jog in place
That's the #ReactionJog
Hi Chase, loved the reaction as always, however, may I humbly request that you do an in memoriam reaction to celebrate the life of Eddie Van Halen who sadly lost his long fight against throat cancer. I'm sure you'll agree that undeniably he was such an influence on metal in general and I'm certain made most guitarists pick up a guitar and want to be just like him! If you can do this, could I suggest 'Eruption' live from way back in the 80's which shows him at his best and full of life or maybe the official music video for 'Hot for Teacher' which shows their great sense of humour and didn't take life too seriously! Rest in Eternal Peace Sir! 🎸😪
N.B
Just found this one - it's perfect Chase.

Another Swedish band: *Letters From The Colony* is a must next!! You need it in your life!
Great band, super catchy melodies! Love!
So did you know that Elize Ryd was a finalist for Nightwish's search for a new singer after Tarja? They chose Annette based upon experience, Elize was pretty new back then. She's worked hard and has become a great singer. It's so ironic that it was Elize(along with Aiyssa White Gluz) who saved Nightwish in Denver in 2012, when Annette couldn't perform
Yay! I was waiting for this. They blew up with Hunger like crazy, they actually went viral with their first videos. Which blew me away back then. Aaah I'm enjoying this way too much.
Also... (scared to say this) Morten (the drummer) is one of the reasons I knew I am gay. 😅 I never got the Elize stuff and couldn't figure out why no one was talking about the hotness of him. *silently goes away now'
Keep up the good pause-work, Chase. Your mother must be pretty awesome!
Song that brings all three together well (in my opinion) is Amaranthine. But then again all their jams are cool :)
Another great band from Sweden...
Try their cover of Sabatons 82:nd all the way. 🤘🇸🇪🤘
Thumbs up for Chase's Mom! I enjoy me some Amaranthe, and how they make use of three vocalists. I wish they were slightly less... pop? Not the choruses, I love the choruses, but there's just something about them that I can only describe as sounding "pre-packaged." I fully understand it's a matter of taste, and that I'm probably not explaining it well, but it's just how they make me feel.
Also, I love how Chase is the full gamut of air instruments now.
I love how they blend genres.
The behgining of this reminds me to my love don't cost a thing from J Lopez..... and i don't know why....
If you enjoy this "trance" fused with metal maybe you can check Rage of light. Their singer melissa is really amazing.
Over the past one or two years I became more and more fond of bands with more than one vocalist. Amaranth's quite nice, but actually I like "Brothers of Metal" a bit more. (Maybe I've got a soft spot for bands that don't take themselves seriously at all, like "Alestorm" and "Wind Rose", too.) Another discovery's "Visions of Atlantis'" newest album "Wanderers" when it comes down to great duets.
Hell yeah Amaranthe rocks this song is awesome 👍
Amaranthe, Do or Die featuring Angela Gossow, good introduction to Angela as a vocalist
great band, great song, love your T-shirt
Finally Amaranthe !!! Best band in the world !!! Next one should by Amaranthine and The Nexus.
Love, love, love me some Amaranthe.
I really wish you would do more reactions to Amaranthe. So far, this is the only song you have critiqued, and there are so many great songs worthy of a listen, especially from their most recent CD, Manifest such as Arch Angel, Fearless, Boom, and Viral. In addition, you should check out Nils Molin's other band Dynazty, they are awesome! You can verify that with the song, Advent, from the upcoming CD in April or May. Take care and stay safe.
Amaranthe choruses are just TOO GOD DAMN CATCHY, IT'S NOT FAIR
Awesome reaction as always! A few recommendations for future Amaranthe music (I've been listening to them since 2012), and these are in order from oldest to newest.
- "Call Out My Name" from the self titled album Amaranthe is a great one with a similar sound,
- both "Drop Dead Cynical" and "Digital World" from the album Massive Addictive shows the continuing evolution of their sound,
- "Maximize" from the album Maximalism is probably the best known song from that album,
- from the album Helix I'd look at "365", "Helix", and "GG6".
I haven't gotten a chance to listen to the newest album yet, maybe I'll wait and do so here with the rest of the audience. :)
Thanks as always Chase, have a damn good day.
Just as you start to hear the 3rd singer *pauses, I had no idea there were 2 singers*
⏸🙋♂️
Amaranthe - Amaranthine !!
Hello Sweden !! Sabaton yesterday and Amaranthe today :D
🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
@@ChaseCarneson and now ! over to Tank and Floor
And tomorrow both on the same stage, please :D 82nd All The Way!
Thank you for this! Love Amaranthe!
I've always wondered how much of the harmonies from this era were sung by Jake E, when playing live?
That guy has a very broad range.
now i just need to get tank to listen to amaranthe ^^ awesome as always chase!
I would recommend "Dream" from Amaranthe, the lyrics hit me pretty hard on that one.
Eeeeek I love this band so I'm super keen!
I also listen to these guys a lot when I work out. The energy their songs supply is fantastic!
Niceeee, one of the songs that introduced me to metal!
I have a band suggestion: Lacuna Coil, great italian band with two singers and a great blend of metal styles! Any song from their newest album is great, "Layers of Time" is a good starting point.
Keep up the great reactions!
Very glad you started with Amaranth, great band. You should do "The Nexus", "Amaranthine" and please please do "82nd all the way" cover of Sabaton (I prefer the studio version). Also the 2 male singers were changed at some point in Amaranthe's history. A side note: Elize was one of the 2 singers that helped Nightwish that day Anette could'nt play at Denver.
"82nd all the way" from Sabaton is fantastic to...
