Heavy metal? Hard rock? It doesn’t matter, as long as it’s heavy and grooves… Headbanger’s Balls Fest 2017 was again a great party!

Album Reviews

‘The Catalyst’ contains powerful songs that are loud and clear. But then again, the album also has a power ballad. It shows once again the different styles that Amaranthe has to offer. Out since last month via Nuclear Blast!

To summarize everything, Amaranthe’s new album has you nailed to your speakers from the first to the last note.

A soaring, flying start of a new band compiled out of some of the most prominent artists of the metal scene showcasing that they have this “modern metal” thing down!
