Swedish metalcore/modern metal band, Amaranthe, released their second album. Basically, their music style has not changed from their first one but is more refined and processed. I felt that electronic music influence became more obvious and could hear a lot of synthesizer and keyboard sound.
 
I mentioned before that I had impression that their songs sometimes sounded the same as other songs. My impression has not changed, yet I could see some improvement in songwriting. Each song in this album stands out better than their first album. The songs such as tracks 5, 6, 8 became good accent in this album.
 
Their unique style of having three different types of vocals really stands out in this music scene. I heard Andreas has left the band, but I hope they would keep this style and continue improving their music style.
