Amorphis is back! After taking a brief creative hiatus from the scene, the iconic Finnish metal titans are back with their 15th studio album, Borderland, arriving on 26 September via Reigning Phoenix Music.
Guitarist Esa Holopainen shares the band's excitement about the forthcoming album: "Borderland is the first Amorphis album produced in collaboration with Danish producer Jacob Hansen. Before that, we had made three amazing records at Jens Bogren's studio. During the planning phase of the project, we strongly felt that it was time to explore something new and see what working with a different producer might bring to the table!"
The first Borderland single, "Light And Shadow", will be revealed on 6 June. More details will follow shortly.
Borderland will be released in time for a massive headline tour in their home country and a trip as part of an arena-filling package with Arch Enemy, Eluveitie, and Gatecreeper (the dates are below). Link

"It's a dark album. According to me, it's the darkest yet in our discography. It's also very suggestive, very introverted, less direct, and might be less friendly..." - Daniel Moilanen
"This time we're trying not to complicate things too much. We want to have a simple message, but that doesn't mean there will be fewer arrangements or less songwriting..." - Pedro Paixão
"We go searching for sounds and ideas within ourselves and there in our dreams, in the moments when 'we are not here'." - Elena Alice Fossi
"We only make an album when we feel genuinely inspired. You can't just say, "OK, I'm going to record a new album", because without inspiration, it would be boring." - Gregor Mackintosh
