Amaranthe is a band with a lot of vocalists

Before anyone goes off I am aware that it’s not all about the vocalists, and that Olof, Johan and Morten are just as important but I don’t really see the point in having 3 vocalists if your not going to use their talents equally.

Day 17: A Song You'd Sing A Duet With Someone On Karaoke I hate karaoke, I can't sing. If I must I would use True. At least this is already a duet, no one said it had to be typical karaoke. Love this song, love the message and Elize’s shoes are fantastic.

tl;dr Jake feels the last two albums were not metal enough and he doesn’t like it that his voice wasn’t used enough.

So on Amaranthe’s albums before Jake left (Self Titled, The Nexus, Massive Addictive and Maximalism) it was Elize, Olof and Jake who wrote the lyrics, so i’m confused as to why for Helix it was just Elize and Olof writing. I love the album, but I wish that they would have given Nils a part in the writing process, this is purely based of off the fact that his other band (Dynazty) for which he is the main writer, have some amazing lyrics (Examples being: Salvation, The Human Paradox and Ascension.) So I would have love to have known what they would have come up with if they worked with him on lyrics.

19082 Don't get me wrong, Elize is a great vocalist but does anyone else find it annoying the way she is kind of considered THE image of the band? I know a lot of people think that about lead vocalists but there's still another vocalist to the band. Even when Jake was in the band, they were all kind of put in the background with Elize at the front.
