So on Amaranthe’s albums before Jake left (Self Titled, The Nexus, Massive Addictive and Maximalism) it was Elize, Olof and Jake who wrote the lyrics, so i’m confused as to why for Helix it was just Elize and Olof writing. I love the album, but I wish that they would have given Nils a part in the writing process, this is purely based of off the fact that his other band (Dynazty) for which he is the main writer, have some amazing lyrics (Examples being: Salvation, The Human Paradox and Ascension.) So I would have love to have known what they would have come up with if they worked with him on lyrics.

@20994 I’m wondering whether on not lyrical themes played a part in it. Amaranthe largely to me seem to mainly have lyrical themes that are sort of Science Fiction/Space Age, where as Dynazty seem to have lyrical themes that incorparate things such as Spirituality, Religious Imagery (such as Heaven,The Devil and Sin), Mortality, Freedom, and Fire. That being said I honestly thought he could have written Unified purely based on the mentioning of spirits.

Also I wonder if he has written for the album they are currently recording? Because like you said he is an amazing writer.
