Frantic Amber - Bellatrix

The songs on "Bellatrix," the second album from Scandinavian Death Metal Queens Frantic Amber, are more developed, complex and brutal with a cinematic touch, each with their own ethnic identity. Frantic Amber started in 2008 as a project in Stockholm by founding guitarist Mary Siebecke, with the intention to play metal with women. At first it was an experiment through various genres and with clean vocals. It wasn't until 2010, with the recruitment of Danish ballet dancer Elizabeth Andrews on extreme vocals, as well as Japanese vocal and guitar teacher Mio Jäger to handle lead guitar and main songwriting, that the identity of Frantic Amber started to take it's form into the melodic death metal beast they are known as today. Their music can best be described as melodic death metal with thrash, black, progressive, classic heavy metal and symphonic elements. The thunderous bass together with the technicality and power of the drums provide the backbone, while the guitar's shredding and soaring melodies complete the soundscape together with Elizabeth's powerful and aggressive vocals.
