Amaranthe release new cover of Roxette’s ‘Fading Like A Flower’

AMARANTHE have released a new song!

The new song, a cover of Swedish pop legends ROXETTE‘s Fading Like A Flower, is the brand new single from the Swedish melodic death/power metal band and follows on from their latest studio album, The Catalyst, which was released back in February, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Speaking about the new cover, the band shares, “being born and raised in Sweden meant that you are subjected to an absolute onslaught of ultra-catchy music, starting with ABBA all the way up to the present day, with some of the world’s greatest song writers and producers hailing from here. One of the most successful acts to ever come out of Sweden is ROXETTE, and if you were young in the 80s/90s, their music was EVERYWHERE. To do a tribute to 1991’s Fading Like A Flower is something we half-jokingly talked about during a few years, and when the opportunity arose during The Catalyst recordings we jumped at it. ROXETTE’s melodies and arrangements fit AMARANTHE like a hand-tailored glove, and we’re now really excited to share this cover with you all!”
