Swedish all-female melodeath collective Frantic Amber announces new album and unleashes a brutal first single

Swedish all-female melodic death metal act FRANTIC AMBER has revealed the first details about their forthcoming, third studio album, entitled “Death Becomes Her”! Slated for a worldwide release on April 4, 2025 via the band’s new label partner ROAR, the album pre-sale is now available at: https://franticamber.rpm.link/deathPR

FRANTIC AMBER started in 2008 as a project in Stockholm by founding guitarist Mary Siebecke with the intention to form an all-female metal band. 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/clean vocals and lyric writing, as well as Japanese vocal and guitar teacher Mio Jäger handling lead guitar and main songwriting, that the identity of FRANTIC AMBER started to take its shape into the melodic death metal beast they are known as today.

Their music can best be described as Melodic Brutal Death Metal with Thrash, Black, Progressive, 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 the powerful and aggressive vocals.

Give ear, FRANTIC AMBER are presenting a music video for their first album single “Jolly Jane” taken off their forthcoming rager “Death Becomes Her”! The track is now streaming on all digital services via: https://franticamber.rpm.link/jollyjanePR

““Death Becomes Her” is a concept album about female serial killers and includes different kinds of killers and categories of serial killers. “Jolly Jane” is our album’s “Angel of Death” or “Medical Murderess”, the band comments. ““Jolly Jane” Toppan was a serial killer nurse with a lethal fetish, in Massachusetts duringthe late 1800s, who turned hospital beds into her personal playground for medical murder. Her twisted ambition was “to have killed more people – helpless people – than any other man or woman who ever lived”, deriving a sexual thrill from watching her patients convulse and die horribly while lying in bed with them. She was eventually caught, confessing to 31 murders with chilling satisfaction and was committed to an asylum for life. The song “Jolly Jane” is the most brutal on the album. Musically we wanted a dynamic song going from super fast blast beats and guitar shredding to ultra slow breakdowns while ending on an undeniable groove. The lyrics paint a vivid and uncompromising picture of her crimes with playful wording paired with an emphasis on “basement low” guttural and grimey growls.“

FRANTIC AMBER’s first EP, “Wrath Of Judgement”, was released in 2010 and landed them the opportunity to play live on national TV at the prestigious “P3 Guld” awards. Gaining momentum the band toured in Europe with SIX FEET UNDER among others, followed by releasing three videos for the songs “Wrath Of Judgement”, “Bleeding Sanity” and “Ghost”. In 2012 they won the Swedish Wacken Metal Battle and got to play a show at the huge W:O:A festival.

With two much-acclaimed full length records under their belt, “Burning Insight” and “Bellatrix”, several single releases and millions of streams and Youtube views, FRANTIC AMBER have played numerous festivals and toured all across Europe, Scandinavia as well as Japan, Russia and even played the largest festival in Colombia “Rock al Parque”. They have shared stages with bands like BEHEMOTH, EXODUS, SABATON, EXCITER, HAMMERFALL, CARACH ANGREN, DARK TRANQUILITY, UNLEASHED, TAAKE, INSOMNIUM, MYRKUR, AT THE GATES and TARJA to name just a few. In 2023, they were nominated by IMPALA as one of three Swedish acts to be included in the worldwide “100 Artists to watch” program that year.

Now, the time has finally come: On April 4th, FRANTIC AMBER will release their hotly-anticipated new album “Death Becomes Her”, an incredible, unique and brutal beast, with eleven amazing tracks, that will definitely blow your speakers and minds!
