Amaranthe second single from the MASSIVE ADDICTIVE album out now!

The bus driver stopped by Walmart to buy cleaning products and some other stuff for the bus, I bought smell good things to put in my bunk so it’ll smell fresh where I sleep.

🙂 We arrived around six a clock in the evening at America Inn, suites hotel. Me, Olof Martin Müller and Mike Greenfield went to PC Chang’s for dinner. It’s actually one of my favorite restaurants here in America. After that I went to Whole Foods and bought more of that homemade hummus I love. 😛 Then I had a shower, and then I went to bed.

Amaranthe covering INFERNO! 🙂

Oh good lord, I’m back in Denver, the city where all happens. I have played here with Kamelot twice, Nightwish once and soon twice with Amaranthe. It always feels very special for me to come back to Denver since I have a special history here. 🙂
We arrive about 1 hour before the show! First of all there was some misunderstanding with the time zone if I understand correct, so we left Gallup at 7, we should have left earlier.. and on top of that we got stuck in a line on the highway. Haha! I’m surprises we made it in time as that everything worked on stage, the microphones, in ears, guitar, everything! 😀 It must have been the double rainbow we saw on the way that brought us the luck. Or just Colorado being awesome! Honastly, amazing crowd! Thank you! Very cool venue! We loved it, we loved you! 🙂 Hope to be back soon! Btw Amaranthe is coming to Dallas soon…

We spent our day off in Gallup. Sweet town! Never been here before, it’s called Indian town because lots of Indians live there. There is an Indian reservation close to where we are located at Holiday in Suites. We all went to a Casino named RedRockCasino something… I don’t remember… The guys did some gambling, I didn’t, aren’t a huge gambling fan. Anyways we also had dinner, and to be honest maybe it was the worse dinner I ever had. I’m NOT picky at all, I usually like all kinds of food, but this was, haha, well I realized I shouldn’t have ordered fish when the nearest lake is very, very far away. So I got a peace of cheesecake for dessert, that was good, the staff was very sweet! 🙂 We hit back to the bus on Holiday In Suites parking lot, and I go inside to ask what kind of cookies they were serving earlier that day. And they were apparently cranberry-strawberry-white chocolate chip cookies. I couldn’t think of anything else than these incredible cookies. Unfortunately you couldn’t just buy them in any store, you had to order a whole box. 🙁 Buu, well all right… Then the staff, a guy named James goes: I can make some for you now, and I was like yeeeeaah! Still hungry and I got like 10 big ones, I ate 6 of them. Then we went to Denny’s, but of course I was to full to be able to eat food there after all these Cookies. 🙂 The next morning I woke up with stomach ace, haha, not so strange… Don’t know if it was the Fish or too many cookies. 😉 On the way to Denver, we realizes that we are running late. Very late…

Here we go again, the second city of the tour is Los Angeles, the city of dreams as I call it. I wake up with the worst headache ever! My body and mind is probably just stressed and tensed after the long preparation for this tour followed by 12 h in an airplain, being yet ledge, sleeping in a new bed, carrying heavy bags, long bus rides in a very cold bus. So I decided I badly needed a massage to get rid of my head ache. I went to the place closest to the venue, it was named Dee Jai Thai Spa. I got myself an one hour long Thai Massage, best thing ever! My good, reminded me of when I used to do dancing 16 h a week and how important it is to be aware of all your muscles, even in the feet and in your hands. Also to stretch makes me feel so much better, and that’s exactly what Thai Massage means – stretching for the lazy. I walked out like a new person. I appreciate professional staff, they knew what they were doing. So if your in L.A I recommend you to try that place. 45 dollars for one hour + tip of course. After the treatment I went to Starbucks and had a warm Chinese green tea. There I met a fan named Anthony who I met last time we were in L.A. An hour later I hooked up with a close friend names Shay, she’s from Las Vegas and her boyfriend Mike, is currently working with us on this tour. It’s always very nice for me to get some female company, so I was very happy to meet her and her friend. I got an early birthday gift as well… Here is what I got:

Before the soundcheck i had a nice dinner at the venue and then it was soon time to start the show! Nokia Club is an amazing venue, it felt great stepping out on that stage. I could see many faces in the audience I recognize. That always makes me calm and happy! 🙂 The show went good. It wasn’t 600 people singing along like in San Francisco, but the atmosphere was very good, and we could defiantly feel the support from our fans, even though most of them weren’t able to be in the front row! 🙂 But I could still see, and hear you!! 😉 What made me sad though was that I didn’t get the change to meet my youngest fan after the show. He was there on his fathers shoulders the whole show, throwing up a Teddy Bear for Henric on stage. But it turned out he also had a gift and a birthday card he never got the chance to give to me, since we had to leave through the underground parking where no one was able to enter. How heartbreaking is that.. 🙁 Well, I hope I can make it up next time. If we ever headline that same venue I will make sure there’ll be a meet and greet. At least I got the chance to meet one other friend in the VIP section on the forth floor, David Baker, who

makes Fantastic, Unique jewelers. I got the neckless I’m wearing in the picture below. 🙂 Thank you L.A for an fantastic evening, I hope I’ll see you soon again!

So we pull up with the bus outside the venue. I walk in to this very beautiful venue, I say hello to all the people working with this tour. I meet Sharon and the rest of the guys from Within Temptation. I eat breakfast then I’ll go shopping at my favorite food store in the US called Whole Foods. :)) After spending about one hour at Whole Foods I meet up with Danny Shipman for an interview. Right after the interview with Danny and Reality Check Tv it’s time for sound check. Then putting up some makeup, and getting dressed for the show! I realizes I haven’t had time for dinner, but I’m hoping for a good show anyways. I can see its starting to be a line outside the venue that goes on till like the next block. Incredible! The venue is sold out! And here comes the crowd bomb. As soon as we step out on stage I can feel this massive support! It’s incredible!! Since this is the first time Amaranthe plays in San Francisco I might believe that plenty of Amaranthe fans were there to see us live for the first time, even though we didn’t headline this evening. I can just say that I loved the crowd. They were totally amazing, I couldn’t stop smile. I would guess I could almost hear 600 people singing along to our songs, it turned out to be better than I expected. 😀 Thank you San Fran Friends, I hope I’ll see you soon again! ❤️

Hello friends and family! 🙂 I promised you to give you and update about what’s going on here on the tour. So I’m starting writing my tour diary here in San Francisco where we start the tour together with Within Temptation. We arrived in San Francisco Tuesday evening. Went to IHOP to eat and then straight to bed at 9. I woke up around 4 in the morning on Wednesday, couldn’t go back to sleep so I stayed awake, went to IHOP again and then it was time to roll. 🙂 The tour bus apparently had some problems with one of the lamps, so we had to turn it in and get that fixed. We had to leave the bus for a couple of hours

so we got driven to a mal. A veeery nice mal, I did lots of shopping I’ve been longing to do. 🙂 The boys went to Hooters, I went there to pic them up and we moved on into the Big City! Took a bike cab, went on a sightseeing boat around the bay so that we could see The Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz a little closer. (I visited Alcatraz last time I visited San Francisco with Kamelot). And then we had a nice dinner after walking around checking out every corner at Fisherman’s Warf. After dinner I followed the guys to a bar so they could drink one more beer before hitting back to the bus and get some good sleep before the premier show at Regency Ballroom! Yeay! 😀

Preparing as much as I possible can for the loooong tour we’re soon about to start. I realized that I was out of my favorite makeup and that I had to order more. I tried this specific brand for the first time during the recording of The Nexus music video, and I got amazed. I ordered a package online as soon as I got back home and I’ve used it every day since. Today I received my second Deluxe package from Sheer Cover Studios. I use makeup mostly on stage, and since I’m on stage almost everyday on tour It’s important for me to use something that’s good, and not harms the skin. Most women probably understands why I use makeup, but to you men I can explain it like this. I don’t have a beard to hide behind, haha! Kidding, the truth is that men also uses makeup in music videos, Television, photo shoots and sometimes also on stage, to cover up redness, pimples and other things you don’t feel comfortable showing in public. 😉 The best makeup is makeup that creates a natural look.
I have tried many different brands and usually they sweat of easy, mascara falls down and leaves a black shade under the eyes, and most foundations just doesn’t covers enough. Also most makeup makes your skin look dry, or fat, and the chemicals most manufacturers put in their products covers the pours completely. It means that the pours can’t breath and dirt that’s supposed to come out there gets stuck Inside the skin. In the long run that makes your skin age faster. I can really recommend Sheer Cover to everyone, I use it also in my everyday life. I’m very impressed by the quality and I’m very happy I found something that I can recommend to my friends. You can read more about it online, I’m pretty sure they ship worldwide. Good luck! 😉

We’re back! After some time in the studio, and some days vacation we just started our Non Stop World Wide Tour, begun with supporting Sabaton in Stenungsund, Sweden, then Varberg (see photo). Great weather, and great audience, I feel so happy! 🙂
We will continue with shows every weekend the rest of the summer, then we will travel to USA together with Within Temptation and then we play a headline show in Mexico, then Loud Park in Japan on my 30:th birthday!! Then back to the U.S, and so it continues…. You can follow my journey here on the blog, and on Instagram or Facebook.
I hope you all had a wonderful summer so far! See you! ❤️:)

This Midsummer I got the honor to spend 3 awesome days with my mom. Because of my job we don’t get the chance to meet very often. So when it happens it makes me very happy! I

feel complete with her around me. Thanks to my mom I am alive. My mom made me love music. My mom told me to always follow my dreams. My mom taught me to be strong. Thanks mom for everything you’ve done for me. I love you!

I hope you all doing good and that you had a great weekend, and still have! Yesterday I recorded a song for a new project I will participate in. It’s the second part of a Rock/Metal Musical called “Memorial for a Wish” written by Andreas Nergård. I sing duet with the Swedish singer Andi Kravljaca. The first album was released in April last year and featured Göran Edman, Åge Sten Nilsen, Ralf Scheepers, Andi Kravljaca ++
Tonight I will stay indoor, drink some green tee from Japan and watch Tv. I wish you all a smooth Saturday! 😉
