Amaranthe is a Swedish metal band known for their distinctive fusion of melodic metal with pop sensibilities, electronic music, and a trifecta of vocalists. Formed in Gothenburg in 2008, the band originally went by the name Avalanche before adopting the moniker Amaranthe for legal reasons. The band consists of Elize Ryd (clean female vocals), Henrik Englund Wilhelmsson (harsh male vocals), and Nils Molin (clean male vocals), along with Olof Mörck (guitar, keyboards), Johan Andreassen (bass), and Morten Løwe Sørensen (drums). Amaranthe's dynamic sound is characterized by a symphonic blend of these three unique vocal styles, accompanied by heavy guitar riffs and electronic elements.

Throughout their career, Amaranthe has released multiple albums that showcase their ability to blend metalcore with catchy melodies and futuristic sounds. With hits like "Strong," "Archangel," and "Manifest" from their most recent releases, they continue to push the boundaries of heavy metal music. The band has a penchant for creating grand and anthemic tracks, often emphasizing themes of empowerment and survival, as evidenced in songs from their "Manifest" album and its various iterations, including a bonus version loaded with additional tracks. Their work has been celebrated with various accolatelyrics, and they have earned a dedicated fan base through their innovative sound and electrifying live performances.
