AMORPHIS Complete Pre-Production For New Album

Finnish metal icons Amorphis have completed the pre-production for the follow-up to 2013’s Circle, with producer Jens Bogren in Helsinki. The album recordings will begin in April at Bogren’s Fascination Street Studio in Stockholm. Their upcoming twelfth studio album is due out in September via Nuclear Blast.

The lyrics are written by Amorphis’ spiritual mentor Pekka Kainulainen. ”Like Kalevala, they are descriptions of natural phenomena, seasons and the human mind. Reoccuring situations where hope and uncertainty alternate. Attempting to gain advice from higher powers. The poems do not form a complete story per se, but they are drawn together by a certain theme. We live under a red cloud and once again, time weighs us” describes Pekka Kainulainen.

The new album will be released in September when Amorphis will embark on a world tour, starting from their native Finland. Amorphis will be touring Europe with Nightwish at the end of the year.
