Amorphis' bassist, Olli-Pekka Laine, has just announced his absence from the European Blood Dynasty 2025 Tour, which kicks off on 10 October in Stuttgart, Germany, and concludes on 15 November in Düsseldorf, Germany. He will be replaced by Victor Brandt, Dimmu Borgir's live bassist. Olli-Pekka Laine, who returns to the stage on November 29 at John Smith Frozen 2025, shared: "Dear friends, to my regret, I have to announce that due to compelling family reasons, I will not be joining Amorphis on the upcoming European tour. Fortunately, and to everyone's delight, our good friend and fantastic bassist Victor Brandt will be stepping in. Huge thanks to Victor, don’t miss the opportunity to see him perform live with Amorphis! As things stand, I will return to the lineup on November 29, 2025, when we kick off the Finnish leg of our tour supporting the new Borderland album. Thank you for your understanding, see you soon at the shows".
