In May 2009, the band was forced to change their name from Avalanche due to legal issues. They later released their first demo (including 4 songs) on their MySpace page, titled Leave Everything Behind.
The band's debut album, Amaranthe' was released in 2011 and reached a peak position of 35 in Sweden and 16 in Finland. The album features a combination of modern metalcore-style breakdowns, harsh screams and heavy guitar riffs with soaring clean vocals and synths reminiscent of power metal. The musical style of Amaranthe has been described as "a healthy dose of pop fused with a heavily metalcore-inspired melodic death metal sound"
Their second album, The Nexus, was released in March 2013. Guitarist Olof Mörck described the album as having greater contrasts, a more controversial mix of genres, and featuring more creative freedoms than Amaranthe. According to Olof, the band "took everything to eleven" in the new album. The album reached 6th on Swedish charts, 4th on Finnish charts, and reached a peak of 12th on the US Heatseekers charts.
In October 2013, vocalist Solveström left the band and was replaced by Henrik Englund Wilhemsson (Scarpoint).
Their third album, Massive Addictive, was released on the 21st October 2014.
A special compilation Breaking Point - B-sides 2011-2015 was released on 30th October 2015. It consists b-sides and bonus tracks from Amaranthe's career.
Their fourth album, Maximalism, was released on October 21st, 2016.
In November 2016, clean vocalist Jake E. announced that he would take a break from the band. In February 2017, he decided to make his departure permanent.
Their fifth album, Helix, was released on October 18th, 2018. This was the first album to feature Nils Molin on lead vocals.
Their sixth album, Manifest, was released on October 2nd, 2020.
Trinity
Amaranthe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the sun comes crashing down
You will set the world on fire
Deep down, you got to know why
We prepare for war
It's vengeance or sacrifice
Incapability to hide
Time's up, all in
I will rise to the top
Going to crush us, put us to sleep, it's lifting us up
As our instincts come alive
Got to never give in as we're falling into the sky
This time gonna let us all shine
(one makes three in this chemistry)
Trinity is the key to feel alive
It's just a shattered world; there right before your eyes
Before your eyes
You see the will to fight, as we live and die
I see the light; it's trinity
Trinity, unite
As I set the sky alight
An inescapable empire
Head's up, you got to realise
That glow you see
Forever will haunt us
As we break the chains of might
In dependence of the fire
Give up, this ground sterilized for all time
Going to crush us, put us to sleep, it's lifting us up
As our instincts come alive
Got to never give in as we're falling into the sky
This time gonna let us all shine
(one makes three in this chemistry)
Trinity is the key to feel alive
It's just a shattered world; there right before your eyes
Before your eyes
You see the will to fight, as we live and die
I see the light; it's trinity
Trinity, unite
Going to crush us, put us to sleep, it's lifting us up
As our instincts come alive
Got to never give in as we're falling into the sky
This time gonna let us all shine
(one makes three in this chemistry)
Trinity is the key to feel alive
It's just a shattered world; there right before your eyes
Before your eyes
You see the will to fight, as we live and die
I see the light; it's trinity
Trinity, unite
The lyrics of the song Trinity by Amaranthe are all about fighting against the odds and overcoming obstacles. The song describes a feeling of hopelessness, helplessness, and despair, but also a feeling of determination and strength. The first verse speaks about how resistance is futile and how the singer will set the world on fire. They prepare for war and are ready to make sacrifices in order to achieve their goals. The chorus talks about the power of the Trinity, which is what will give them the strength to overcome their challenges. One in this chemistry, which means that together they are stronger as a team. Trinity is the key to feel alive, and this shattered world is right before their eyes. They see the will to fight even as they live and die. The singer sees the light; it's Trinity, and they must unite in order to overcome the obstacles in front of them.
The second verse of the song continues with the theme of fighting and overcoming. The singer talks about how they set the sky alight and are an inescapable empire. The glow they see will haunt them forever, but they break the chains of might and rise to the top. The final chorus of Trinity is similar to the first, emphasizing the power of Trinity, and how it will lift them up even as they fall into the sky. It will make them shine, and it is the key to feeling alive, and it is what they must unite under.

@Muszart
this is the very best lyric video I have ever seen.
@crablegs1193
- Awesome guitar solo and nice drums
- amazingly dynamic vocals that sound like a mix between power/death metal, A Day to Remember, and NSYNC/Britney Spears
- perfect catchy melodies throughout the song
- has electronic, metal and pop parts that are creatively composed and work really well together
- sounds awesome when singing and screaming at the same time
- sounds good live
This band really does everything right, and they all seem like really cool people, they deserve 100x more recognition than they get. I would love to hear like a 7 minute song by them thats just like the best song ever written, with some unique structure or something like that.
@hunkwasbisyan007
The Genre is actually Melodic-Metalcore.......🙄
@diarykeeper
For some reason they are like the english verson of Elyose or something.
shrug
@hugorezende199
Yes! Im a big fan of how Morten Loewe build those drum parts,, metal but still very groovy and creative. Not all about speed or odd times. They reaaly know how to build choruses and catchy 3min songs. Lots of nice songs in albuns (i wasn't a fan of their last from 2018).
