Rock Heart #003: “Exhale” feat. Amaranthe vocalist Elize Ryd and guitarist Olof Mörck

It’s common fact that music is not only supremely powerful, but can also elicit deep, emotional, physical and psychological responses. For thousands of years music has helped people to express their feelings, deal with loss, celebrate victories and so much more.

Urban Dictionary defines “rock heart” as “A person usually with a heart wired into the cosmos through musical vibrations, beyond time, beyond space, beyond death” and in our new series, Rock Heart, we ask musicians to share stories about how music, in any way, has impacted their lives, saved them or their fans, helped them out, etc.

Late in 2015, while at The Phoenix in Toronto, Canada, we caught up with Swedish/Danish power/melodic death metal act, Amaranthe. Ever-kind and welcoming, vocalist Elize Ryd and guitarist Olof Mörck chatted about the power of music.
