Sweden’s hottest metal export is just finishing their European arena tour with SABATON and are ready to present a very special Valentine’s Day gift: AMARANTHE spice up the day with a brand-new song featuring Angela Gossow, the former singer of ARCH ENEMY! “Do Or Die” shows AMARANTHE’s heavier side and comes with a dystopian horror video filmed in Spain, featuring Fardou Keuning‘s stunning creatures.

Brave enough? Watch the video here.

Angela Gossow about the breathtaking collaboration sincerely spicing up your Valentine’s Day:
“It was thrilling to join AMARANTHE for a more extreme track and shooting a cutting edge video for it! This is no cozy studio performance, but real ice cold winds, sewages, cadavers and pouring rain – the reality we live in, the devastating legacy we leave to our future generations. Time to wake up, turn – and bang – some heads! Watch out for these guys and killer lady, they are going to crush you this year with a new album and some heavy touring!!!”

Guitarist Olof Mörck states, “While AMARANTHE’s music is often uplifting, energetic and positive, sooner or later everyone needs to deal with the obvious fact that the world is literally crumbling around us – and it is crumbling fast, thanks to the short sighted abuse of our common Mother Earth! We talked to legendary Angela Gossow of ARCH ENEMY fame to do an entire package of a video and a song, outside of any normal album cycle, and let our different perspectives on metal collide in a massive explosion; and it resulted in Do or Die! Together with Overbeck Media who shot the video, we delivered something really quite special, and Angela brings in a fresh strength to the trademark AMARANTHE sound that is sure to resound all across the metal world! Death and Fire!!!”

 

Kreator

 

Sunday, 16th December 2018: The cold fingers of winter have already reached out for the British capital but there is one place in London that is set on fire as KREATOR thrill their fans with an extensive live show and take their breathtaking performance once again to another level. The band’s new live album “London Apocalypticon – Live At The Roundhouse” is out now via Nuclear Blast.

Depending on the format, it is not only the spectacular live show at the legendary Roundhouse that was documented for this release. Included on all formats except the CD will be another breathtaking concert from Chile 2018, as well as the band’s headline show from Masters Of Rock 2017 in the Czech Republic.

To celebrate the release, KREATOR have unveiled the live video for ‘Enemy Of God’ recorded from the band’s set at Masters Of Rock 2017. Check out the video here.

Mille Petrozza comments on the newly released video “Hordes! We present you ‘Enemy of God’ from Masters of Rock – the 3rd show featured on our live release “London Apocalypticon”. One of my favourite shows from our 2017 festival season and a staple in KREATOR’s setlist! We shall see you in March and April with LAMB OF GOD and looking forward to continuing the chaos!”

 

 

Finnish Folk Metal Superstars KORPIKLAANI have had enough rest and are now energized to begin the next touring cycle. Kicking off  with two shows in Japan in the end of February, followed by a UK tour in March with the new Heavy Metal sensations BURNING WITCHES and then 4 shows in Slovakia with local legendary Rock act, ARZÉN. Reason enough for the sextet to at least start the new year properly in a musical way! Today, KORPIKLAANI are pleased to release another adaption of their hit song ‘Beer Beer.’

The newly launched lyric video for ‘Birra Birra’ which features SKILTRON vocalist Emilio Souto can be watched here.

Emilio states: “I was visiting the guys from KORPIKLAANI at Petrax studios during the recording sessions of “Kulkija” and Jonne told me about the idea of making many versions of Beer Beer in different  languages and asked me if I could help with the lyrics for the Spanish version. I suggested a more “Argentinian-slang” version and they loved the idea!. Then a few minutes later after writing them, all of a sudden, I found myself recording the vocals! Maybe there was too much Birra that day for coming up with such a crazy version;) Disfruten, escabien y a rockear!”
