Northern Europe's leading dark metal band Amorphis, hitting #1 on the Finnish charts five times - has been captivating fans and critics for over thirty years with their melancholic, yet heavy soundscapes. After announcing their upcoming fourteenth studio album, Halo, set for release on the 11th of February 2022 through Atomic Fire Records last month, the sextet presents the world with the record's first single and video, “The Moon”.
Comments lyricist Pekka Kainulainen: "I have done several drawings and paintings on this subject over the years. Now I complementary wrote some heavy metal lyrics... This is a song of love."
Adds guitarist Esa Holopainen: "It's a very atmospheric and catchy song that represents what Amorphis sound like in 2021 well."
Once again adorned by artwork provided by Valnoir (Alcest, Paradise Lost,...), Halo was recorded, produced, and mixed by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, while mastering duties were handled by Tony Lindgren.
Tomi Joutsen, the man with vocal cords capable of unleashing colossal, bear-like growls as well as singing soothing, mesmerizing lullabies, comments: “To me, Halo sounds a little more stripped-down compared to Queen Of Time and Under The Red Cloud. However, don’t get me wrong: when a certain song needs to sound big, then it sounds very big.” He’s right, of course: By stripping down some of the arrangements, the monumental moments become even more monumental.
