The Nexus is the second album by the Swedish band Amaranthe. The album was released on varying dates in March 2013, starting on the 13th in Japan and concluding on the 26th in the US. The Nexus is a development of the sound and ideas Amaranthe introduced on their first record. The contrasts are greater, the mix and blends of genres is more “controversial”, and more creative freedoms were taken with The Nexus.
