Elize, vocals, Amaranthe |
Friday's show at the
Ace of Spades, almost at the end of
Amaranthe's Massive Collision USA tour, at first seemed an unusual set of bands:
Amaranthe, Sweden's "modern melodic metal" band with three vocalists, teamed with support from screamo-metal Butcher Babies, and rock/alternative
Lullwater. Very varied vocal styles, different music, and potentially different audiences. On the night, it definitely worked as a show, especially when Lullwater's John Strickland came on stage with Amaranthe to add his vocals (Jake E. Lundberg was not with the band on Friday).

Amaranthe, Sacramento |
Amaranthe, headliners, coming to the end of their long USA tour... last date was last night, in San Jose.
Next appearances are in Sweden: keep an eye on their website for new show announcements.

Butcher Babies, Sacramento |
Butcher Babies, high energy as usual, no blood this time (is that a trend?), and I swear I heard a more melodic voice, now and then. Fronted by vocal duo Heidi and Carla, they are always visually engaging and very entertaining. Their latest album,
Take It Like A Man, was released in August of this year, they've been touring ever since, and they have already been named to support
Cradle of Filth during their 2016 tour, so we'll see them back in Sacramento on February 20th, again at the
Ace of Spades.

And Lullwater to have
a new album, self-titled "Lullwater", definitely worth a listen. They have a couple more USA dates before the end of this year:
keep an eye on their Facebook page for 2016!
