AMARANTHE recently posted a new song, entitled
"Hunger", on the band's
MySpace page. Unlike the previously released music, this track is professional-album quality and was mixed at
Studio Fredman in Västra Frölunda, Sweden.
IN FLAMES bassist
Peter Iwers and
EVERGREY keyboardist
Rickard Zander are among the guest musicians who will appear on the upcoming
AMARANTHE CD.
Mörck previously stated about the band: "
AMARANTHE has for long been an idea between me and
Jake E to break out of the mold of our past projects and create something new and fresh entirely and to give room for ideas not appropriate for the other acts and projects we are part of. The result is an onslaught of soaring melodies, heavy riffing and guttural screams from the netherworld, a result of having three singers in the band;
Jake E on clean vocals, cabaret virtuoso
Elize on female vocals and
Andy on screams. The result is a quite distinct sound, especially combined with the music itself that draws upon influences from a varied spectrum of genres, all to create a thrilling experience for the listener. Another defining feature of
AMARANTHE is the idea of a collective — everyone from superstars of the industry to just generally talented people will lend their unique skills to
AMARANTHE on the coming album. This, however, won't stop
AMARANTHE from being a tour de force in live shows and tours, since the core of this metal machinery is based primarily on the regular members. This project has just taken off, but we're quite excited to show you what we have so far, and a lot more will come in a very near future."
