Swedish all-female melodic death metal band, Frantic Amber, have just dropped their new single, “Hell’s Belle.” Accompanied by an official music video, it follows the recently released track, “Jolly Jane,” both taken from the band’s upcoming third studio album, Death Becomes Her. The new full-length due out on April 4, 2025 via the ROAR record label, on CD, vinyl and in digital formats. Check out the new video and more below.

“Death Becomes Her is a concept album about female serial killers and includes different kinds of killers and categories of serial killers,” the band states. ““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.”

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.
