Two weeks after the start of the new year, AMARANTHEone of Sweden’s most influential modern metal bands, kick off 2024 with the crushing pop metal song «Revision«. With its electronic pulse, powerful riffs and irresistible killer hooks in the chorus, the song demonstrates why AMARANTHE is one of the most unique bands in modern metal.
Olof Morckof AMARANTHEit states:
«The time has come for the fourth single from ‘The Catalyst‘, ‘Revision‘, and this time we have gone all out. Heavy cyberpunk and synth wave rhythms collide with the signature sound of AMARANTHE in an equally exciting and memorable mix, which is sure to act as a permanent cybernetic implant in your brain. The prodigious video, once again made by the veteran collaborator Patrick Ullaeusserves as a perfect counterpoint to ‘Revision‘, more ambitious and explosive than any video from AMARANTHE till the date! As the Artificial Intelligence predictions of the 1980s seem to become more certain by the day, we are ready to serve you a cataclysmic but captivating forecast of the future of AMARANTHE: Re-Visioned«.
«Revision» is the fourth single from the upcoming album AMARANTHE«The Catalyst«, which will be released on February 23 through Nuclear Blast Records. «Revision» is accompanied by a fantastic new video that the band released today.
«The Catalyst» will be available in digital format and in different physical formats: CD, vinyl, a special edition of 2 CDs and an exclusive vinyl of the band that will include a signed poster. You can reserve or order in advance the format you prefer here.
«The Catalyst» is the most conceptually coherent work in the history of AMARANTHE. Dedicated to notions of transformation and revelation, it goes deeper than any previous album, as explained Olof Morck:
“We’ve done these things before, but we’ve never been as theatrical as this time,” he smiles. Morck. «In fact, we were all wondering if we had gone too far this time, but I also imagined that this band had always been like this. Literally, the first few seconds of our first video were a huge explosion! But if, ‘The Catalyst‘ is more theatrical than ever. We had never really been symphonic or orchestral, but this time we just thought why not? Because we can. “The key to this album is that we let go of the limits and decided to do something even more adventurous.”
«The Catalyst» represents the culmination of 15 years of hard work and the relentless pursuit of a totally original musical vision. Change is inevitable. Victory is assured.
