From The Forthcoming New Album Halo, Out February 11th |
AMORPHIS -- who stands among Northern Europe's leading dark metal acts, 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 February 11th, 2022 through Atomic Fire Records last month, the sextet presents the world with the record's first single, “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."
