Finland's AMORPHIS released their latest album, Circle, April 19th in Europe and will unleash it on April 30th in North America on Nuclear Blast Records. Production and mixing duties for the follow-up to 2011's "The Beginning Of Times" were handled by Peter Tägtgren (HYPOCRISY, PAIN) who has previously worked with such bands as CHILDREN OF BODOM, CELTIC FROST, IMMORTAL and DIMMU BORGIR.
Check out the video for "Hopeless Days":
AMORPHIS vocalist Tomi Joutsen says about the album: "The mystic, androgynous person on the cover represents a spiritual guide. This character was sent from another time and place to help the album's protagonist find a new path for his life."
"Circle" tracks:
01. Shades Of Gray
02. Mission
03. The Wanderer
04. Narrow Path
05. Hopeless Days
06. Nightbird's Song
07. Into The Abyss
08. Enchanted By The Moon
09. A New Day
10. Dead Man's Dream (bonus track)
The album's limited digibook edition features a bonus DVD containing: The Making Of "Circle" and Nightbird's Song (video clip)
Along with the CD+DVD digibook version, "Circle" will be available on CD (minus the bonus track), black 2LP in gatefold, brown 2LP in gatefold and as a huge limited box, including three bonus tracks and a wristband, exclusively via the Nuclear Blast online store.
Guitarist and founding member Esa Holopainen said: "While promoting 'The Beginning Of Times', we started to feel that we were giving the same explanations over and over again when people asked about the studio process and how the songs came about. Even though the music was very strong, the making process didn't offer any surprises and appeared to be quite secured. Now the addition of a new dimension to the developing process has inspired us to focus on our material even more. The songs are extremely strong, bombastic and skull-pummelling."
