ABOUT KATERINA NICOLE
Katerina Nicole is a force of metal—raw, cinematic, and unapologetically bold. Hailing from Kelowna, BC, Katerina blends melodic nu metal, doom, and industrial grit into a sound that’s both emotionally unrelenting and sonically massive. With roots in the pop and EDM world, her shift into heavy music wasn’t a pivot—it was an evolution. Her music is drenched in vulnerability, rage, and resilience, channeling chaos into catharsis with every guttural scream and haunting melody.
Her debut EP, “Serene in Violent Oceans”, is a visceral statement piece— equal parts confession and confrontation. Produced by Jordan Chase (Trench, World of Pleasure), the record marks the arrival of a singular new voice in heavy music. Her live performances are nothing short of ritualistic: raw, hypnotic, and emotionally charged, commanding the stage with both fury and grace. Backed by a growing global fanbase, Katerina Nicole is not here to ask for space in the scene—she’s here to take it.
This song surely gave the one or another listener goosebumps when being performed on one of AMARANTHE's breathtaking live shows, and now a transition of the feelings has been created by releasing a remarkable music video for "Crystalline".
The majestic interplay of orchestral arrangements and in turn distorted guitars is visually underlined in the new stunning music video and not least by the vocal performance between Elize Ryd and Nils Molin.
By releasing this music video AMARANTHE is taking the anthem to a new level which lets the song resurrect, supported by the passion and the emotions which can now also be transferred visually.
AMARANTHE comment on the new video:
"'Crystalline' was a song born from pure emotions in the moment, and we felt that it truly deserved its own spotlight as a single together with a video. Shot at Rydzyna, a 17th-century Château outside of Wrocław, Poland, long-time collaborators Grupa13 once again worked their visual magic for the video. We hope you will love the result just as much as we do!"
As if that wasn't enough, the song celebrates a rebirth - and is now released as "Crystalline (Orchestral Version)" which differs not only in sound but also in the emotions and harmonies carried by the orchestral elements can be truly felt. The newly arranged orchestral version is released along with the original version of the song since the original version can be heard in the new music video.

In October and November of 2022, AMARANTHE will be on tour together with BEYOND THE BLACK. Since the tour had to be postponed, both bands can't wait to hit the road again and spend unforgettable nights with their fans all around Europe! Furthermore, both BUTCHER BABIES and AD INFINITUM will join the tour as special guests.
AMARANTHE have spent the last decade establishing themselves as a formidable, positive, and fervently melodic force for metallic good. From their explosive self-titled debut in 2011 to the more sophisticated, streamlined likes of 2014’s Massive Addictive and its immaculate follow-up Maximalism (2016), AMARANTHE has masterfully blurred the lines between melodic metal, crushing brutality, cinematic sweep, and futuristic sparkle. Led by the endlessly ingenious songwriting of guitarist Olof Mörck and powerhouse vocalist Elize Ryd, their rise to prominence has been a joy to behold.
Widely acclaimed as a dazzling live act, the Swedes reached a new peak of creativity on 2018’s hugely successful Helix: an album that pushed the band’s vision to new heights, breadths, and depths, while showcasing the brilliance of Elize and her co-vocalists, Henrik Englund Wilhelmsson and recent recruit Nils Molin.
Not just a glorious return but a wholesale upgrade for their exuberant sound, Manifest is simply the most daring, dynamic, and unforgettable album that AMARANTHE has released to date. The perfect antidote to the nagging anxieties plaguing us all in these troubled times, it’s a Technicolor celebration of metal’s ageless power, blazing with all of life’s colors and chaos, but delivered with utmost artistry and skill.
