AMORPHIS - who stand among Northern Europe's leading dark metal acts, hitting #1 on the Finnish charts five times - have been captivating fans and critics for over 30 years with their melancholic, yet heavy soundscapes. After announcing their upcoming fourteenth studio album, »Halo«, out on February 11th, 2022 through Atomic Fire, last month, the waiting time is over as the sextet present the world with the record's first single and a music video for 'The Moon', created by renowned director Patric Ullaeus (rEvolver Film).

Comments lyricist Pekka Kainulainen: "I have done several drawings and paintings on this subject over the years. Now I complementary wrote some heavy metal lyrics... This is a song of love."
 
Guitarist Esa Holopainen adds: "It's a very atmospheric and catchy song that represents what AMORPHIS sound like in 2021 well."

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

THE MOON
music : Kallio

On a rock like a tree
The one-eyed figure stands
Dauntlessly time and again
Breaking the salty wave

I guard this mountain
You circle me in the night

If you bow to the eye of stone
You’ll hear a distant song
A story carried by the restless wind
Forevermore

The subdued silence of your lips
It commands only me
Unwavering my sinewy frame
The cold night it will endure

On this towering mountain
Your love even higher above
If you bow to the eye of stone
You’ll hear a distant song
A story carried by the restless wind
Forevermore

If you bow to the eye of stone
You’ll hear a distant song
A story carried by the restless wind
Forevermore

If you bow to the eye of stone
You’ll hear a distant song
A story carried by the restless wind
Forevermore

You’re the moon
You’re my light
You’re the moon
My guiding light

I guard this mountain
On a rock like a tree
I guard this mountain
