Northern Europe's dark metal giants Amorphis recently released “The Moon”, a beautifully haunting first taste of their forthcoming album Halo, set for release on 11 February 2022 via Atomic Fire Records. To shorten the wait until the arrival of their second single, “On The Dark Waters” (out on the 28th of January 2022), the band has announced a limited 7" blue/white vinyl single of the same name, due out on the same day.
In addition, Amorphis has launched the first episode of a documentary giving insights into the band's studio work. Drummer Jan Rechberger discusses his part of the album recording process, for which he cooperated with Oskari Auramo among others.
States Rechberger: "Of course, the production process was a bit different this time because of the Covid situation; everything had to be done remotely, so [producer] Jens [Bogren] wasn't there to kick our asses. But overall, the result will stand the test of time a bit better than our previous records in my opinion as it's even more progressive and even more unpredictable: it's a bit longer songs and I think even heavier, rhythmically more interesting and a sort of rougher."
Thirty-one years after their inception, with uncounted global tours under their belt and fourteen albums deep in their career, Amorphis still proves to be the musical fountain of youth, an extraordinary band constantly reinventing itself without abandoning its mystical roots. With Halo, they deliver an astonishing album that deserves to be played everywhere, transcending the realms of metal and rock by its sheer profoundness and musicality.
