Some fans feared Amaranthe male clean singer Jake E would leave permanently after he stated last year he was taking a break from the band. At the time, he didn't specify it but he is indeed quitting the group to pursue other things. The Swedish outfit has also released the new video for the track "Boomerang." Watch it here.

Jake E's statement regarding his exit: "After eight years and four albums, I have decided to leave Amaranthe. I am extremely proud of the band and what we've accomplished together. Amaranthe have the most amazing fans and they have given me so much during the years, which I am extremely grateful for. I want to thank them all for always supporting me during the highs and the lows - without you we would be nothing. Thank you for these years and I hope to meet you again soon!"




Amaranthe will kick off their first North American headline tour in support of their latest album Maximalism on February 10th in Houston, with support from Failure Anthem, Citizen Zero, Cypher 16, and Smash Into Pieces. The trek snakes through the U.S. and Canada, wrapping on March 11th in Reading, Pennsylvania.
