Amaranthe Singer Elize Ryd On Upcoming Album: “It’s A Little Bit Back-To-The-Roots Gothenburg Metal Sound”

During an interview with Chaoszine, Amaranthe singer Elize Ryd discussed the band’s upcoming album. According to her, “it’s a little bit back-to-the-roots kind of Gothenburg metal sound.”

Ryd said the following:

“We have booked a drum recording with [longtime collaborator, Danish producer] Jacob Hansen in two and a half weeks from now. So it means we will start the recording of the upcoming album, and like always, you start with the drums, and then the rest of the instruments and the vocals. And I am not sure when we will be ready, but it is in the making, and we hope… We think it’s gonna be awesome.”

She also added:

“This will be the second album with Mikael Sehlin [who joined the band in 2023] on the growls. Yeah, it’s been three years since ‘The Catalyst’ was released, which feels, to me, insane. I can’t believe it’s been three years already. But it was a very different kind of album, like we did, actually, for a couple of years now. A couple of albums we have experimented a lot. And if I can say anything about the upcoming album, it’s a little bit back-to-the-roots kind of Gothenburg metal sound. A lot of those extraordinary ‘Gothenburg sound’ riffs which we all love. Yeah, I hope it’s gonna be as we imagine in our minds, at least. But most of it is done, so we can already say what kind of direction it will be going to. And we have Mikael on the growls, which is great.”
