The Nexus is the second studio album by Swedish heavy metal 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 band stated that they felt "the contrasts are greater, the mix and blends of genres is more controversial, and more creative freedoms were taken in this album."[6] It was the last album with harsh vocalist Andy Solveström.
