Amaranthe - Drop Dead Cynical (Official Music Video)

[@TRtherocknroller]

What's amazing about this band is how they can combine two polar opposites, metal and pop/edm/techno/whateverthefuckitscalled and still make it work

Oh my gods. It's like a working mix of pop, rock, and metal. Finally.

[@Therighteouscowboy]

And electronic

[@GanjaGoth]

With little sprinkles of electronic

[@CHESTERii]

In Finland we call this classic 😜

[@AmperfleX]

Power pop

[@lemmymotorhead4429]

Thank God we still have Europe putting out solid hard and heavy music...

[@arendmitricard-sithii9971]

I just like the bounce in the music. And how they tag team in vocals; its an interesting idea that I haven't seen, or heard, in years.

[@internettoughguy]

+Aren Dmitri Card-Sith II The "bounce" your talking about is Marylin Manson's "Beautiful People". Very similar

[@daviddurkee9351]

+Internet Tough Guy - Absolutely.

[@maalikelliott5560]

+Aren Dmitri Card-Sith II shit this thread is three months old I know of a lot of bands that do the whole "tag team"/ switch off with vocals It's right dank m8

[@XxteenmermaidxX]

+Maalik Elliott Hollywood Undead does that and they're fucking epic :D

[@eliseg8770]

+Asma Nazeer YES HU they do that and it sounds really good

[@FamousPixels]

I know many people hate the fact there's a sort of 'pop' lead singer in this band, but I think that's what makes Amaranthe unique. Awesome!

[@MichaelJCaboose013]

That awkward moment when a 60 year old grandma introduces her son to Amaranthe, not the other way around....haha good song!

[@SevenSecondsArise]

I dislike that people are saying that this isn't metal. This is just a different form of metal, like there is Grunge Metal, Symphonic Metal, and Heavy Metal. This is Power Metal, if you don't like it watch another video. I love their style, its different.

[@godoflemmings17]

Absolutely agree, but you have to remember that a vast amount of metal fans are elitist pricks. If something doesn't follow an exact formula it isn't metal, blah blah blah... bore off -_- I'm loving these guys just because they're daring to be different and pulling it off brilliantly.

[@gr0uch02a]

***** I think you hit the nail on the head GoL. Everyone thinks "their" taste is best. Granted I had to learn to like these guys, but they definitely deserve a place at the table. I consider them a bit of a "guilty pleasure," but I seriously dig them. Seeing them open for Within Temptation was THE best concert I've ever seen. Could not believe how great they sounded live. And, let's face it, Elize is ridiculously hot in addition to having a fantastic voice.

[@DragonKnightX12]

SevenSecondsArise Pop Metal is what I call it, its pretty good.

[@connorchaney1709]

I wouldn't really call it power metal, sounds like pop metal to me. Still good stuff whatever you call it!

[@Tekkenfreek234]

Wouldn't classify it as power metal. Or any specific metal subgenre, really. Just good music and damn fine metal!

Patty Hays its pretty unnecessary

[@Ruisu101]

Music in general is technically unnecessary. What's your point? They experimented and found an unusual balance between all three singing styles and, as such, Amaranthe are a very successful band.

[@offbrandbiscuit]

These guys have always seemed pretty unique to me. Very much heavy metal, with a male and female clean vocalist, with a guy on the side to sing the growlier bits for them, and mixing industrial and electronic elements into it. Neat.

[@mgagliardi2011]

Its actually a great song. This is the type of song that helps bridge genres and encourage pop type folks about how cool harder/metal music is. Freaking love this song 🤘

[@swedisheinherjer]

The pitch Elize is reaching when she is singing Drop Dead Cyincal kinda gives me the chills in a good way :)

[@adrianomel]

Drew Kingston Aggression metal? No... no that is not going to work as a name. Thrash, Death, Black, and even NWOBHM are more aggressive than this. Aggression pop perhaps.

[@amandae.6948]

[@jasonmcleod8914]

GAWD.. DAMN! She is all eight flavours of gorgeous!

This is a banger. I started listening to them a couple years ago. The nexus and this one are definitely top 2.

[@gr0uch02a]

I had said that I was going to have to "suffer" through them in order to enjoy Within Temptation back in October. I was completely convinced that they were nothing more than a studio band who would SUCK live. I could not have been more wrong. This band totally rocks live. I could not believe how good they were. Amaranthe+Within Temptation was an EPIC combo. Best two for one ever. Total fan now having seen them live. Yeah, lyrics need a little help, but they rock in person. All 3 singers sound exactly the same live as they do in their videos. MUCH respect!!!!!!!

I like the song. New vocalist has a beter style and is good for the band. But I hate people who hate Amaranthe 'cause they use Elize to show her beautiful body in videos. Why can't she show her body? Rammstein uses girls, Rolling Stones too, Marilyn Manson too...

[@adamcrookedsmile]

listening to music because a girl is pretty is a poor reason to be a fan of a band.

[@elgatoburgues809]

adamcrookedsmile I don't listen then 'cause Elize's beauty , I'm saying that I hate people who hate Amaranthe 'cause Elize sometimes shows her body, just that.

[@riondemuerte8004]

adamcrookedsmile actually it was reason why i didnt listen them so long, pretty girl on front must mean that band doesnt do good enough music to cover it just by vocals. Damn how wrong i was

[@georyd]

[@DRAGONDXZ]

SHE IS FUCKIN HOT!

[@jcollierdavis]

Yeah, the girls are pretty and Elize is too. But, honestly, I dislike the cheerleader part for a few reasons. First it doesn't really fit with the video's theme. It shows the band doing bad-ass fighting, her included, and then she's a cheerleader? Does not compute. Lastly, I REALLY like that Amaranthe videos give generally equal screen time to all the band members, not just her. No Doubt was a great band, but things changed when their whole thing became "Look how pretty Gwen Stefani is" don't you think?

[@MetalLP]

***** You are right, but does anybody care? It's just a music video and they know, that fans love Elize. So they want to show something FUCKIN HOT! Like DRAGONDXZ said.

[@FindThePattern]

***** What's really impressive about No Doubt is that it changed to "the Gwen Stefani show" right around when "Don't Speak" came out, and if you watch the video, that's exactly what they're showing.
