Limited 2-CD boxset The 2 CD Box contains: the 6 panel digisleeve + 1 Bonus CD in Cardboard incl. 4 bonustracks + 1 necklace After 15 years of a career in which they have become one of metal's most reckless, individual and uplifting bands, selling out venues and touring Europe and the US, AMARANTHE are about to take their most definitive and revealing step. Three years after the acclaimed "Manifesto," which reached the top 20 on the charts internationally and racked up over 130 million streams, Sweden's masters of thunderous, melodic futurism are about to unveil "The Catalyst." With 12 songs and nearly overflowing with killer hooks and genre-bending ingenuity, "The Catalyst" is a snapshot of a band reaching a new level of collective power. Since the electronic pulse and irresistible forward momentum of Re-Vision, AMARANTHE have given their sound a fearless upgrade. They have incorporated even more infectious elements into their trademark sound. Most notably, AMARANTHE have embraced the evocative power of orchestral size for the first time, and it suits them perfectly. Dedicated to notions of transformation and revelation, it goes deeper than any album before. "Sometimes there are turning points in life that can change everything," explains Olof Mörck. "It's about a realization. It could be a relationship, a vacation or a near-death experience, but it's a catalyst that really wakes you up and makes you think, "Shit, what have I been doing?" All the songs are about that, but at the core it's about change in different ways." A major factor in this impressive progress is the arrival of AMARANTHE's newest new member. Alongside Elize Ryd and Nils Molin, Mikael Sehlin, the band's new growl master, fits in seamlessly and revels in his new creative partnerships on "The Catalyst." "The Catalyst" is scheduled for release on February 23, 2024 and delivers what its title promises. Both their best album to date and a collection of songs that deftly redefine every aspect of the Swedes' sound, "The Catalyst" is destined to propel its creators ever higher up the ladder of modern metal. It represents the culmination of 15 years of hard work and breathless pursuit of a completely original musical vision. Change is inevitable. Victory is assured. Читать далее
