AMARANTHE Premiere ‘Crystalline’ Music Video
June 30th, 2022

Gothenburg, Sweden-based melodic metal band Amaranthe have filmed a music video for the track ‘Crystalline’. Directed by Grupa13, the clip can be viewed below.

Regarding the song and video, Amaranthe stated: “‘Crystalline’ was a song born from pure emotions in the moment, and we felt that it truly deserved its own spotlight as a single together with a video. Shot at Rydzyna, a 17th century Château outside of Wrocław, Poland, long time collaborators Grupa13 once again worked their visual magic for the video. We hope you will love the result just as much as we do!”

Amaranthe issued sixth full-length studio album Manifest on October 2nd, 2020 through Nuclear Blast Records.

The band commented: “So, we come to it at last! We are so very proud and happy to finally unveil Manifest to the world, an album written with so much pure joy and enthusiasm, and yet very nearly did not see the light of day. When faced with the decision to record the album despite a world wide pandemic, the answer was the same as when we canceled tours that were supposed to promote the album: we HAVE to release this album in 2020!

“As our long-time listeners are well aware of, Amaranthe believes in positive, energetic and uplifting music, and we feel that such sentiments are more needed than ever before! Easily our most confident and convincing album to date, this is music born out of pure passion and eagerness to create. This is our manifesto, and all our aesthetic aspirations made apparent – this is Manifest.”
