Rising electro-metal stars Amaranthe have announced a brand new album, following up the massive success of their previous effort ‘The Nexus‘.
The new album has been titled ‘Massive Addictive‘, sounding like the band have begun their full transition into being the pop stars of metal. It will be interesting to hear what the band have to offer on a full-release lined up so close to the last one, and the band had this to say about their upcoming effort:
“‘Massive Addictive’ is true to its title. The band’s signature, larger-than-life sound, comprised of kinetic riffing, pulsating beats and celestial, melodic choruses, remains in tact, but the album finds Amaranthe continuing to explore a range of dynamics and with a willingness to push themselves even further.”
“We have lived and breathed this album every hour and every day the last year, and to know that this music is about to reach everyone’s ears is beyond exciting. Following the first leg of The Nexus World Tour, we sat down and agreed that we wanted the next album to be really fresh, new and even to raise a few eyebrows, all while retaining our signature sound.”
“‘Massive Addictive’ is in every way that huge leap forward we wanted to achieve and the album definitely contain our strongest song writing to date. The press often asks us to ‘describe the album with three words’; this time, the answer is simple – it’s MASSIVE, it’s ADDICTIVE, and most importantly, it’s AMARANTHE!”
So it’s quite possible then we might hear something that strains away from the traditional Amaranthe electro metal sound, but we will have to wait until the album is released on October 21st via Spinefarm Records.
