The day has finally come and Finland's metal legends AMORPHIS have released their new album "Halo".
After receiving raving reviews from all over the world and being voted to #1 of the soundchecks of leading metal outlets like Metal Hammer (D), Rock Hard (D), Legacy (D), Spark (CZ) and Metal.de (D), the band's stunning 14th studio album is finally available on CD, 2LP vinyl, cassette and collector's boxset and transcends the realms of metal and rock with its sheer profoundness and musicality. Considering the band’s three-decade journey at the forefront of innovative metal music, it’s difficult to comprehend how AMORPHIS manages to raise the proverbial bar time and time again, presenting a more than worthy finale to the trilogy that began with 2015’s "Under the Red Cloud" followed by 2018’s "Queen of Time."
To celebrate the release of "Halo" today, the Finns have unveiled a 3D art video for their album opener 'Northwards' which showcases the diversity and especially the progressive elements of the new record.

NORTHWARDS
Ice it shattered into shards
Gave away under our feet
Many men did lose their lives
Taken by Tuonela’s river
In the blue frost of the night
In the icy waters of death
Stifled were both wail and whisper
Frozen were the living hearts
The days they followed each other
Nights defended our dreams
With the seasons grew our circle
And we knew we’d found our place
We would start from the beginning
Make it with our meager means
Crouching, cowering companions
Journeying ever northwards
Waking in the dead of night
My eyes opened in the darkness
I saw the sign of the red hand
Marking the mouth of a cave
On the sordid, stony ground
On a field of frozen grass
I found my spirit kith and kindred
My sisters and my brothers
Game is good and plentiful here
Happy is the life, the life of man
It was not in vain we came
Strayed from the silent waters
The days they followed each other
Nights defended our dreams
With the seasons grew our circle
And we knew we’d found our place
We would start from the beginning
Make it with our meager means
Crouching, cowering companions
Journeying ever northwards

Just how many perfect songs can one single band produce 😮
-
3:43 when Tomi said "Happy is the life, the life of a man" I got goosebumps because of his beautiful voice, I'm obsessed with his clean vocals
-
Amorphis never disappoints. Just a great song!
-
Amorphis simply untouchable, they have reached a level only a few bands have ever gone, this is beyond the metal genre, this in music in general, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd level of greatness 🤘🤘🤘
-
So exciting week to await this and whole album, lets gooo!
-
Greatest band still making music. Always preserving their unique stories snd melodies while always innovating the riffs and rhythm. A fan since 1998 and love each era of the band.
-
I think I heard a cathedral chorus in there... I think I heard a keyboard solo from Deep Purple in there! Amorphis never disappoints.
-
This is one of the most beautiful 3D animation I've ever seen. Welcome back Almighty AMORPHIS! With a HALO ✊🏼🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼🇫🇮🇧🇷🏴🖤
-
There is just something so soothing about this band. The guitars and the vocal melodies are just incredible.
-
Damn....that heavy verse riff starting at 1:15 just might be my favorite on the whole cd, and they only play it twice! Come back to these heavy riffs one more time at the end of the song!
-
My favorite song on the album, and this album has so many good songs that I'd consider it their best work in over 20 years. So happy that these guys are still making music.
-
Awesome
-
I found my way here via an ad in another music video I was going to watch. Normally I skip ads, but I'm definitely glad that I chose to listen instead. You kick ass and this video earned you a subscription. Rock on!!! ✌️😎
-
Amazing song, Amorphis never cease to amaze me with their genius, greetings from Colombia!!!
-
February 11th is a beautiful day for all of us 😉🤟👍
-
Fantastic Album! I've said it a million times before, and I say it again: If Tomi ever quits or getting fired, I will NEVER EVER listen to Amorphis again. He was the missing link to perfection!
-
Holy Mother of Väinämöinen! Just pure fcking EPIC song! Definitely a night with Amorphis & pure fine vodka coming today. Well done guys, fcking well done!
-
This is gonna be a great start of the weekend!!🔥🤟
-
God damn these guys stepped their game up something insane over the last few albums. I love the ambition and the risks they've taken.
-
I love when your music returns to us, especially if it is a new one. Thank you.
