With "Dancing Shadow", Amorphis delivers the final audiovisual appetiser of its new studio album, Borderland, due on 26 September via Reigning Phoenix Music. The song follows two superbly embraced singles, and is yet another hit out of the group's sound forge as it's blessed with all ingredients to get at least equally well-received by the worldwide music community.
Thoughtful verses remind us of the uncertain times in everyone's lives to make fans escape from this dejected state of mind into the suffusing light of the moon, which shines through the darkest of all woods. But to contrast the song's depth, Amorphis successfully crossed the genre's "borderland", resulting in an irresistible track full of twisting moments. "Dancing Shadow" finally closes on its peak, before you just have to play it from the beginning over and over again.
Amorphis' guitarist, Esa Holopainen, states: "The working title for 'Dancing Shadow' was 'Disco Tiger'. Musically, it represents catchiness and hooks that have been familiar elements within our music for a long time. Sound-wise, it came out pretty fresh and even modern. I bet this song will shake your legs on the dance floor - in a METAL disco, of course".
Drummer Jan Rechberger adds: "With 'Dancing Shadow', we stepped into completely new territory. For a band with over three decades behind us, that kind of reinvention feels meaningful".
Like its predecessor, "Bones", Amorphis' latest single has also been visualised under the aegis of Patric Ullaeus, taking the band's fans into a black-and-white dominated setting, highlighting the piece's core message in a captivating way.
