AMORPHIS recently released ‘The Moon’, a beautifully haunting first taste of their forthcoming album »Halo«, set for release on February 11th, 2022 via Atomic Fire. To shorten the wait until the arrival of their second single, ‘On The Dark Waters’ (out January 28th), the band have announced a limited 7″ blue/white vinyl single of the same name, due out on the same day.

The 7″ can be pre-ordered now, AT THIS LOCATION.

Watch ‘The Moon’ below.

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.

Jan states: “Of course, the production process was a bit different this time because of the Covid situation; everything had to be done remotely, so Jens [Bogren; producer] wasn’t there to kick our a**es. But overall, the result will stand the test of time a bit better than our previous records in my opinion as it’s even more progressive and even more unpredictable: it’s a bit longer songs and I think even heavier, rhythmically more interesting and a sort of rougher.”

Once again adorned by artwork provided by Valnoir (ALCEST, PARADISE LOST etc.), »Halo« was recorded, produced and mixed by Jens Bogren (Fascination Street Studios) while mastering duties were handled by Tony Lindgren.
