Manifest (Amaranthe album)

Manifest is the sixth studio album by Swedish heavy metal band Amaranthe. It was released on 2 October 2020 via Nuclear Blast.

The album features guest appearances from Noora Louhimo of Battle Beast, Perttu Kivilaakso of Apocalyptica, Elias Holmlid of Dragonland, and Heidi Shepherd of Butcher Babies.

In an interview with HeadBangers Lifestyle, the band's guitarist and keyboardist Olof Mörck revealed that the album version of "Do or Die" will only contain Nils Molin's male clean vocals and Henrik Englund Wilhemsson's unclean vocals, while the single version of the song, which will appear as a bonus track on the album, only contains Elize Ryd's female clean vocals and Angela Gossow's harsh vocals. The guitar solo by Jeff Loomis appears on both versions of the song. It is also the final album to feature Wilhemsson before his departure from the band on June 8, 2022.
