Swedish all-female melodic death metal act Frantic Amber have 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 presale is now available here.
Frantic Amber began 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.
First single and music video for “Jolly Jane” is available below.
“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 during the 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.”
On April 4, Frantic Amber will release their new album Death Becomes Her, an incredible, unique and brutal beast, with eleven amazing tracks, that will blow your speakers and minds.
