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.

On the opposite end, "Bones" delivers punishing riffs, eastern-tinged melodies, and hard-hitting rhythms.

“As a keyboardist, I wanted to prove I could write a heavy, riff-based Amorphis song,”Kallio says. “And to everyone’s surprise, "Bones" ended up being the heaviest track on the album.”

And the journey continues. The album’s first single, "Light and Shadow", was crafted with complete creative freedom — unrestricted from constraints or expectations."
