Frantic Amber announce new album ‘Death Becomes Her’
FRANTIC AMBER have announced a new album!
Titled Death Becomes Her, the upcoming album from the Swedish melodic death metal band is the follow-up to 2019’s Bellatrix, and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via RPM ROAR.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Hell’s Belle.
The new song is the latest single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Jolly Jane, Black Widow, Bloodbath and Angel Maker.
Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “Death Becomes Her is a concept album about female serial killers and includes different kinds of killers and categories of serial killers. Hell’s Belle Gunness was a particularly gruesome Black Widow type serial killer, who lured unsuspecting men to her Indiana farm with promises of love, only to poison and dismember them for their money. She also orchestrated multiple insurance frauds and many suspicious deaths, including those of her husbands and children. Her gruesome legacy, spanning from 1884 to 1908, left a trail of at least 14 confirmed victims, with estimates reaching as high as 40 murders. Belle most probably faked her own death by burning down her farm, leaving behind a headless corpse and a farm full of buried body parts.
The song Hell’s Belle has a lot of black metal inspiration and combines a waltz with blast beats giving it a ruthless sway. We also incorporated a lot of orchestra to set the mood and tone together with the guitar melodies and tremolo. The lyrics tell the story of Belle Gunness and her bloody activities on her farm. The writing style is brutal with a little tongue-in-cheek undertones and the vocals have a wide range going from vicious growls to a little sprinkle of clean classical vocals in a three-part-harmony.”
