The band writes: "We are super excited for the release of our new album "Death Becomes Her" and to finally share what we have passionately been working on for a long time. This is a dark, melancholic and brutal album where we delve into twisted female serial killers. Each song has its own bone-chilling vibe and we hope you enjoy it."

In support of "Death Becomes Her", FRANTIC AMBER have unleashed their latest single "Black Widow", accompanied by a new music video.

"“Death Becomes Her” is a concept album about female serial killers and includes different kinds of killers and categories of serial killers," the band comments. "Black Widow" is a category of female killers that kill for financial or material gain. Their victims are most commonly their husbands or lovers and likely with a life insurance or two involved. Oftentimes she goes free to kill again since she mainly uses poison which can have similar symptoms to natural causes of death, paired with the societal belief that women are soft and don't kill… The Black Widow's greatest weakness and most probable downfall is her greed. With a grand expenditure and lifestyle she must repeatedly turn to killing and eventually suspicion and autopsies arrive.

The song “Black Widow” is a quite catchy song blending multiple metal genres such as thrash and symphonic metal. The lyrics are a reflection of this kind of female serial killers drawing inspiration from the stories of various women around the world fitting this category. It was the third song we wrote to completion for the album and it was released as a single but a brand new music video for the song now drops together with the release of our album “Death Becomes Her”.

FRANTIC AMBER started in 2008 as a project in Stockholm by founding guitarist Mary Siebecke with the intention to form an all-female metal band. At first it was an experiment through various genres and with clean vocals. It wasn’t until 2010, with the recruitment of Danish ballet dancer Elizabeth Andrews on extreme/clean vocals and lyric writing, as well as Japanese vocal and guitar teacher Mio Jäger handling lead guitar and main songwriting, that the identity of FRANTIC AMBER started to take its shape into the melodic death metal beast they are known as today.

Their music can best be described as Melodic Brutal Death Metal with Thrash, Black, Progressive, Heavy Metal and Symphonic elements. The thunderous bass together with the technicality and power of the drums provide the backbone, while the guitar’s shredding and soaring melodies complete the soundscape together with the powerful and aggressive vocals.

FRANTIC AMBER's first EP, "Wrath Of Judgement", was released in 2010 and landed them the opportunity to play live on national TV at the prestigious "P3 Guld" awards. Gaining momentum the band toured in Europe with SIX FEET UNDER among others, followed by releasing three videos for the songs "Wrath Of Judgement", "Bleeding Sanity" and "Ghost". In 2012 they won the Swedish Wacken Metal Battle and got to play a show at the huge W:O:A festival.

With two much-acclaimed full length records under their belt, "Burning Insight" and "Bellatrix", several single releases and millions of streams and Youtube views, FRANTIC AMBER have played numerous festivals and toured all across Europe, Scandinavia as well as Japan, Russia and even played the largest festival in Colombia "Rock al Parque". They have shared stages with bands like BEHEMOTH, EXODUS, SABATON, EXCITER, HAMMERFALL, CARACH ANGREN, DARK TRANQUILITY, UNLEASHED, TAAKE, INSOMNIUM, MYRKUR, AT THE GATES and TARJA to name just a few. In 2023, they were nominated by IMPALA as one of three Swedish acts to be included in the worldwide “100 Artists to watch” program that year.
