28-01-2022
“Halo“, the new album from AMORPHIS, will be released via Atomic Fire Records on February 11th. In advance of the record’s official unveiling, today the band reveals a new single accompanied by a music video filmed in the Finnish snow and directed by Pekka Hara. ‘On The Dark Waters’ is not only part of the new album but also available as an exclusive 7” vinyl.
Watch ‘On The Dark Waters’ below.
Lyricist Pekka Kainulainen comments the theme of the track:
“I got the idea to reverse the direction of the Tuonela stream – Tuonela is the realm of the dead in Finnish mythology. So I started writing from the moment of death… And death was not the end, but the beginning.”
Watch the previously released ‘The Moon’ below.
The 7″ can be pre-ordered now, AT THIS LOCATION.
In addition, AMORPHIS have launched the first episode of a documentary giving insights into the band’s studio work. Watch drummer Jan Rechberger as he discusses his part of the album recording process, for which he cooperated with Oskari Auramo among others, over on YouTube below.
In addition, the band has launched a special collaboration with “Pook Watches” for a unique collector’s item: Pook On The Dark Waters-watch.
The watches have a 3-year warranty and their components have been selected so that the watch is functional for a long time and serviceable by a clocksmith. All units are assembled at Pook’s watch workshop in Joensuu, Finland, and will be crafted as a limited edition with each package featuring a greeting signed by the band. Delivery of the watches will begin in the Spring of 2022. Pre-orders for the watches can be placed starting from today at www.pookwatches.com.
