AMORPHIS ABLUM UPDATE

Finnish atmospheric death/doom metal warriors AMORPHIS have sent this new release update.
FROM AMORPHIS:
a little update on what’s happening in camp Amorphis. The album
recordings are advancing straight and smoothly (whatever that means…).
We are now working on the vocals and again we have Marco Hietala
producing Tomi. This time everything else has been done at Sonic Pump
Studios except for the vocals, which are currently in the works at
Marco’s home studio in Kuopio.


We are emerging with roughly 15 new songs and on the album there’s
most likely going to be 10-11 tracks. It’s again a great feeling to
start realizing that the songs and ideas which have been in our heads
are finally going to see the light of day.


Pekka Kainulainen has worked really hard on the lyrics. The album is
going to tell the story of the most important character of Finnish
mythology and folklore. He is Finnish god Väinämöinen, who was described
to be an extremely powerful, wise old man who had a magical voice. Some
believe that Väinämöinen was the creator of the world, an ancient hero
and a very influential shaman.


Having a subject as strong as this, it was pretty obvious that making
music for the album was going to be a challenge. There are lots of
musical elements that have been heard on previous albums, but there is
also much more. Needless to say, we are keen to hand all the material
over to Mikko Karmila, who is going to start the mixing at the end of
this month.


Travis Smith is currently working on the album cover and the coming artwork so far looks no less than amazing.


Stay tuned folks!!
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
