Swedish pop metallers Amaranthe have posted the following heads up for their fans:

"Check out this amazing piano cover of 'That Song', by the awesome Vikram Shankar!"

Vikram Shankar: "A few months ago, a few friends and I road-tripped to see Amaranthe on their Maximalism tour. The morning after we got home, I sat down at the piano and spontaneously created this bluesy/jazzy rendition of 'That Song'. They persuaded me to turn it into a full, properly recorded arrangement, which I was totally into, but never had the time to do.. until now! So, I'm happy to present my full arrangement of Amaranthe's ear-wormy ear-worm "That Song." Hope you guys dig..."

Amaranthe recently announced that Nils Molin has officiall replaced vocalist Jake E. Following is a comment from guitarist Olof Mörck:

"Great news! The Amaranthe line-up is once again complete - and what an addition Nils Molin is! He was at the very top of the list for the male vocals position, and has already proved his worth on a number of shows with Amaranthe across Europe. Nils is a born rockstar in every aspect yet with a natural sense of humility, and is certain to leave no fan disappointed! He has gathered a vast amount of experience together with Dynazty, and as such has honed his performance skills to perfection; since stepping in he is already a natural part of the line-up. Catch Nils on our upcoming European tour, or any of the planned shows for 2017 - and expect great things to come out of this soon!"

Amaranthe and Swiss folk metal bashers Eluveitie will hit the road in Europe this winter for a co-headlining tour. Dates have been confirmed and are available below. The Charm The Fury from Holland are on the bill as support.

Mörck comments: "The Maximalism World Tour relentlessly continues, and this fall we will once again strike Europe will all our might! This time teaming up with Eluveitie, an amazing band with an array of talented musicians, this combo will prove as diverse as hard-hitting and powerful! We cannot wait to return and play some of our absolute favourite cities in the world, and meet all those who have supported us since the early days - and get to know a lot of new faces, as well! This fall, Europe shall march to the sound of Maximalism!'"
