Review Summary: A wild journey into the frolicking meadows of poppy metal, complete with tasty vocals and infinite guitar solos and breakdowns. It is a band that many will love yet many will hate and claim it’s generic bullshit that appeals to braindead manchildren. Th Once in a while, there is an album that makes me cum. This is one of those albums. A ballstothewall power metal/melodic death metal band, Amaranthe are taking a genre collision, which has been done before (countless times), to exhilarating levels. Point and contest is the band’s lineup; the band is in fact, a supergroup. All proficient, they leave nothing to be desired with any of their performances. An extremely synchronized band, this power metal group does it like the good old days, with a knack for speed and cheesy choruses. They’re down with being silly and catchy at the same mother fucking time. It is lovely.
Combining power metal’s speed/melodies with heavy riffs, breakdowns, and a multitude of screams, Amaranthe lean toward the aggressive side. However, despite an apparent focus on creating music much heavier than your typical power metal band, the band is still open to diversity. The album provides large doses of melody, and with an excellent use of synthesizers, the songs are all sugary fun. More diversity comes from the play between the female and male lead singers, switching on and off where appropriate. A person used solely for screams also improves the mix, Amaranthe’s vocal diversity is difficult to compete with. The winning point of this collaboration is that all vocalists are fantastic. The lead female singer, especially, deserves her own band, yet one has to admit her effectiveness when paired with Dreamland’s vocalist - it is an incredibly effective duo. The result is a poppy, cheesy, metallic mess that’s much entertainment for a non-boring mortal. It’s a good album.

Going to give this a listen, review intrigued me. Edit: I think the male lead pales in comparison to the female lead, he might grow on me though.

You better do something really really cool for #100.

- Yeah, the female singer is superb in every way, but I wouldn't forget the dude.
- Don't worry, I'm already working on my 100th and it's a doozy ;)

This is (on first listen) just as erratically catchy as described and I'm loving it.

That "hear me, see me..." part sounds so freaking familiar to me, I'm sure i've heard that melodic line somewhere else.
I'm halfway through the album and so far sounds like a heavier version of Vision of Atlantis. Not bad, but nothing do die for either....

I just finished streaming all of this on youtube (in the correct order) and I think I owe you one pizza, this is going to be stuck in my head for a long time.

Decent review. I couldn't listen to this album again.
| | |
In the band page it says that they play a mix of power metal and metalcore.
i wonder how these two genres could blend with each other.....

After the amount i disliked that latest Deadlock album i don't think i'll even bother......AngryMetalGuy's review of this is classy though.
| | | Album Rating: 3.1
The new Deadlock was good. It's not anything like this album.
| | |
Just logged in to say Deadlock is incomparable to this.
Also that Roland Johansson, Richard Sjunnesson & Roger Sjunnesson of SS rule.
...and finally that this album is alright but if it wasn't for my inflated bias that I definitely scorched the rating with that this album would be a 2.5 for me as well.
I can't help but love their vocals though I feel like this should be played at the mall or something instead of that bad satin shit.
