AMORPHIS - Bones (Official Music Video)

Below you will find two songs from the upcoming album Borderland by long-running prog/melodic act Amorphis. These two songs, I would say, are pretty good illustrations of what to expect. Melodic singing, with a bit of growling here and there, keyboards and midtempo catchy songs, with some prog tendencies, but not overdone. There is a good balance between manageable-length songs and a bit of prog. Of course, the melodic vocals, keyboards and guitars really go a long way towards making the listening experience pleasurable for the fans. This new album has an abundance of melodies, within that "light prog" style, and it feels like the band is not concerned about genres, but rather focused on songwriting and making music that connects with the audience. I think they have achieved that. I may be stuck on this album for some time. We'll see. I'm just beginning to listen to it.

ABOUT AMORPHIS: A groundbreaking and genre-defying heavy metal band, still featuring its original lineup (with a few exceptionally talented additions) and only growing stronger with time? It might sound like a fairytale — until you glance toward Finland. There you’ll find AMORPHIS. Since forming in Helsinki in 1990, the Finnish sextet has fearlessly explored musical frontiers — from raw death metal roots to melodic, progressive and folk-tinged heavy rock, and far beyond. At every turn, Amorphis has expanded musical and lyrical boundaries without compromising their artistic identity. Now, after an unrelenting 35-year journey, AMORPHIS — guitarists Esa Holopainen and Tomi Koivusaari, vocalist Tomi Joutsen, keyboardist Santeri Kallio, bassist Olli-Pekka Laine, and drummer Jan Rechberger — stands on the cusp of a compelling new chapter: welcome to the captivating realm of Borderland. AMORPHIS' fifteenth studio album marks both a continuation and a reinvention of the band’s legacy. With acclaimed Danish producer Jacob Hansen (VOLBEAT, ARCH ENEMY, AMARANTHE) at the helm for the first time and a revitalized creative spark within the group, Borderland sees AMORPHIS fully embracing their melodic sensibilities while venturing into fresh, uncharted sonic landscapes.
