Interview with Jake E & Olof of Amaranthe on the Massive Addictive Tour

June 15, 2015

We were so glad when we discovered that Amaranthe was bringing their Massive Addictive Tour to San Francisco earlier this month. They have been one of our favorite metal bands that shines the spotlight on three diverse vocalists. They were incredible and when they performed at The Regency Ballroom, they held the crowd captive as you would rarely see any phones in the air. The crowd was 100% “in the moment” and absolutely mesmerized by their spectacular performance. The intensity of their set is unmatched and their music draws out all of your emotions and gives you a place to release. Whatever was going on before you walked through those doors that night, you left feeling on top of the world.   We had the chance to chat with vocalist Jake E and guitarist Olof shortly before their set and are pleased to bring that interview to you here: Check out some photos from Rockin Ryan of their set: Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on their latest [Read More]
