Now I had finally time to listen to both episodes 😊 Thanks for Q&As, it's interesting to hear about you and your thoughts. Looks like we have a same kind of mind about a lot of things (e.g. psychological issues) 😄 You have some cool plans for Amaranthe, hopefully they will come true one day! 😎 About the first episode, I agree what you said about effects of music and good community. Your music (and music in general) has had a huge effect to my life and now I'm feeling better than in many years 🥰 It nurtures my soul, hihi (my soul band, like I called you) 😊 Good communities like Patreon and my work community make me feel like I'm welcome and that I can really be who I am ❤️

My suggestions for panic attacks would be, cold ice or poor cold water on the back of your neck. This shocks your body’s nervous system and stops panic momentarily and it helps me regain my gears just for a moment. Also going for a fast jog helps burn off all that extra adrenaline the panic has raised up in your body. Everyone’s body is different. What works for me might not work for you and vice versa but it’s definitely worth a try! Panic and anxiety sucks! But I always tell myself no matter how bad it gets, it always goes away eventually. That helps me.

That's awesome 👍 I prefer take a walk every day morning and evening

Yes! I cut caffeine as well! No more coffee or energy drinks. They do make caffeine free coke and Pepsi. That’s what I buy. I also don’t drink alcohol. Running helps me a lot!

Duolingo is indeed a helpful app for learning a new language. It’s the way for me to learn Swedish besides watching movies and series in Swedish. My boyfriend can speak quite unclear sometimes 😂 Spanish is indeed beautiful and a powerful language. It’s spoken by more than 500 million people. English is THE international communication language. Happy to see more people are learning it. Even though Mandarin might be the 2nd most by native speakers, must be challenging to learn.

Eric Jacques

Therapy and Meds , but I cut Pepsi Cola due it's raise your anxiety higher like caffeine in coffee ☕. Many breathing techniques can also help.

Casual Reaction Guy

What helped you? I deal with anxiety and panic as well

Leyton Divetta

Ah right! I guess that was before I joined then. Thanks for the reply 👍

Harry Kritis

Hi Elize! Thank you for Q&A. Love (X)

Eric Jacques

May I suggest french, the second most spoken language in the world and Alissa 💙 also speak French and English. That's be helpful for the future tours in French countries like France 🇫🇷 and Canada 🇨🇦🤘

Eric Jacques

Absolutely

Thanks for expressing your point about mental health in this episode. My life been very impacted by mental health issues, my mom have bipolar disorder and I see her at a mental institution. Not the same person that gives me life because the Meds and her issues but I still love her. In 2014, I got major anxiety issues ( panic attacks ) , I feel better 10 years later but I always have check up . I wish that your anxiety issues go away and you feel happy, calm and peaceful. I always spread mental health awareness around and it's very important for me ❤️🙏

If you did cameo I think it would be great if you just held it open year long. I think lots of people would contribute just to get a personal video from you. It would be 1 on 1 so it’s more private and personal. Sometimes it’s easier and more authentic to ask questions that way I think it would be a great idea!

Anna Wishmaster

I will listen it soon!! 🙂

Casual Reaction Guy

Oh ok! Haha so I am not alone after all ☺️

Jonathan Lapointe

Wow! I had no idea you guys played in Tunisia! :o definitely an eye opening experience both for you and these women as you all make your presence and importance known to the world. 🫶 I really hope you achieve the band growth you wish for because you deserve it. Ill be first in line for an Amaranthe show with live dancers and Rammstein-like pyrotechnics work 🤣 Have a good evening and try not to lose your mind with the elections. Only good vibes allowed 😌💕

symphonic_metalhead

Yeah there are a lot of us Americans here

Elize thank you for having this great community. And as asked here is the debut single of my friend’s band Valkyrie’s Fire called "Warrior of the Night". https://youtu.be/RY55RhTgo9g?si=1CuwHSVeH8ofeB0K

Elize Ryd

I recommend Discord for you NOW!! 😂

Elize Ryd

There are many Americans here☺️

Elize Ryd

Hahah! Awesome!!! 👏😄 Thanks for your message. ❤️

Casual Reaction Guy

Oh I had no idea!! Well hello there brother lol

Monica

I loved your answers in this episode! Your voice is so soothing and relaxing to listen to in the morning 😍. Knowing about the older albums now I can finally understand why I haven't been able to find any of the older albums to complete my collection of cds! Maybe EBay will be my way to go😂 And with the big show dream, I concur with MikeP, the actor/dancer in me would kill to be apart of that 😆🫶🏻

Elize Ryd

Hi! 😃 I have a cameo account, but I am not using it. I haven’t had the time. I think the idea is fun! Getting video greetings on a birthday or similar is GOLD! 😁🤩

Elize posted a little while ago asking us for Q+A questions she could answer Podcast-style 📝 🎙️ She does this about once a year. You are always welcome to ask questions in Chat here as well 🙂

Yea its a big day here in the U.S. I studied politics in college. It's a tense subject everywhere here. I'll be voting for hopefully the first female U.S. president. I have had a recent career change and have been working 6 days a week. It's been rough but I'll find time to vote today. They are already having problems at the polling stations so this is gonna be a crazy election for sure. Hope everyone is doing well. Ty for these answers. Much love

Anthony De Pari

*aHEM* 😂 🇺🇸

Anthony De Pari

Thanks for answering my question with such detail and care Elize! 🙏 I was worried it would be too “heavy” a topic to ask, but I appreciate your understanding and time 😌 I would love to hear Amaranthe’s “Spinefarm-era” albums reprised on vinyl some day 😃 Maybe a “best-of” from that era of you and Olof’s favorite old-Amaranthe songs as you would make them Today ☝️ 😎 I am glad you are doing well and seem to have found balance 🧘‍♀️ 🙏 You know what works for you. And that’s awesome. That’s a big deal. Please try not to stress yourself out TOO much on this Election Day! 🇺🇸 🤞 I’ll stress the F out for you! 😂 🙈 Being in California, we close our polls last… so… 👀… it’s going to be a looong day. But I have faith that everything will work out for the best. ✊ 🫡 Happy Tuesday Elize! 👋

Leyton Divetta

Hi! I would love to know if you have any plans to go on cameo like many musicians do and it’s something I have used a couple of times and think it’s great x

Leyton Divetta

How do I go about asking questions? Is it on here ? Sorry if it sounds a silly question but fairly new to this so thought I would ask. Hopefully see you elize in uk again soon

Nev

Authenticity is important, more so than being who they want you to be. Queue Linkin Park - Numb. It is an old topic, in school we learned it as The Great Self, and as The Great War. Election is a powder keg, and Bulgaria has become an open political battle ground, I hope the winner in the USA election will bring the state of the world to a calm. It’s our 8 election in 5 years. Whoever wins, it should stabilise our position. Well I hope to see Amaranthe play another festival here soon. If not me and my cousin might have to plan a trip sometimes next year ❤️‍🔥

Casual Reaction Guy

Yup it’s voting day for me. I think I’m the only one here from the U.S. I would love to ask you about it but I think it’s too spicy these days 🤓

MikeP

You laugh but i already have a killer routine for "Drop Dead Cynical" 😅

Mike Mosch

Thank you, Elize! ☺️ After your explanation, I can totally understand that. I'm so glad to hear that your current deal is fair! I wish you all the best! 🙏🏻

Elize Ryd

We changed label. Our current deal is fair! 🥳

Elize Ryd

🤣❤️🙏

Elize Ryd

Nooo! It’s ok you asked!! 🙂 Now you know why. There’s a reason why many artists are so hatefully against record labels.. 🙈

Corinna

❤️

Mike Mosch

Wow, thank you very much for your detailed answer. I'm so sorry the Spinefarm Records deal wasn't fair. I can imagine it feels wrong when you don't own your own work. That's unacceptable 😕 I'm so sorry for bringing up such a negative topic 😔

MikeP

I am happy to volunteer as a backing dancer.. just putting that out there. 😅

𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖗𝖑𝖔𝖙𝖙𝖊 𝕰𝖑𝖊𝖔𝖓𝖔𝖗𝖊

This was again a very nice Q&A ❤️❤️

Elize Ryd

Awesome! Thanks 🙏 Likewise 😊

Ben Brogan

You are very welcome. I recommend Babbel and Duolingo. They have been very helpful for me. (I forgot to mention that I'm learning Chinese - which is quite difficult - but Duolingo focuses on rote memorization, which has taken a lot of the difficulty out of it 😄) Babbel is subscription-based but very thorough and detailed. Check them out! Nice talking with you again...

Elize Ryd

Hey Ben! Wow thanks 🙈 I still feel I need to be better (I forget some words) but I’m glad you can understand me. Yes! We have obligatory English class in school since the age of 7! I am so grateful for that. Thank you ☺️ I don’t know any other languages besides Swedish and English. A few words Spanish and Japanese only. 😅 I wanna learn German and Finnish.

Ben Brogan

Hey just a question: your English is immaculate. How long did it take you to learn it? I speak Spanish, French, Russian and Navajo but nowhere near the proficiency as you do with English. Do they teach it in schools in Sweden? Very good job 👍
