OCTOPLOID, the new musical endeavour of bassist Olli-Pekka “Oppu” Laine (AMORPHIS, BARREN EARTH, MANNHAI), have shared the first digital single from “Beyond The Aeons,” their debut album which is set to hit the shelves on July 5, 2024 through Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM). The first single off the album is ‘Human Amoral’ and features Oppu‘s AMORPHIS band mate Tomi Joutsen. The music video is now available on YouTube.
Watch ‘Human Amoral’ below.
“Combining elements from folk, prog and death metal, ‘Human Amoral’ is an epitome of OCTOPLOID’s sound and my musical influences,” adds Oppu.
“Beyond The Aeons” was crafted at E-Studio (Sipoo, Finland) where Petri Majuri (HANOI ROCKS, MICHAEL MONROE etc.) took care of mixing the eight tracks and David Castillo (KATATONIA, LEPROUS, OPETH etc.) mastered the album. Orion Landau (CARCASS, YOB, RUSSIAN CIRCLES etc.) completed the overall magnificent package with dreamy artwork.
