History
Formation
Amaran started out as a band in the spring of 2000, in Stockholm, Sweden, and has since then developed a dynamic and original way of writing songs, combining heavy metal guitars with clear female vocals. Guitarists Kari Kainulainen and Ronnie Backlund started writing some music together and decided to form a band. They found the rest of the band members in bass player Mikael Andersson, vocalist Johanna DePierre and drummer Robin Bergh. All of the members came from different musical backgrounds and were eager to put some good music together.
Promo (2001)
Before they had even found a drummer Amaran recorded their first "Promo 2001" using a drum machine and sent it to various zines, magazines and record labels. It received excellent reviews in many well-acclaimed contexts and also ended up landing them a record deal with French label Listenable Records.

Nocturnal
by: AmaranThese bodies all contain your souls
And are lighten by your lives
Molded to oblivion
To hard to see the truth
Have I told you,
It is not over yet
Have I told you,
This is just the beginning
Where did some go
To walk here again
Where is this life
To live here again
Close your eyes
And come with me
To find another way
A parallel universe
Created by ourselves
Wanted something real
But I only closed wind in these skies
Wanted a deeper meaning
