Die finnischen Melancholic Dark Metaller von AMORPHIS haben jetzt den Titel ihres kommenden Werkes enthüllt.

Das elfte AMORPHIS-Album nennt sich schlicht „Circle“ und wird am 19.04. via Nuclear Blast Records erscheinen.

Eine kurze Zusammenfassung des Albumkonzepts, das sich über die Songtexte erstreckt, stellt Pekka Kainulainen bereit, der die Texte der meisten AMORPHIS-Alben schrieb:



"The protagonist has been dealt a bad hand at birth. He’s always felt himself an outsider with strong potential to become marginalized. Through an accident, after a crisis, he finds a connection with his inner powers. A guide is sent to him, from some other time and place.He gets a chance to take hold of his own life and change his destiny. From the past of Carelian Finland he finds his own spiritual tribe and the power to turn the course of his doomed life. This is a story of survival."



Sänger Tomi Joutsen hat bzgl. des Albumtitels folgendes zu sagen:

„Circle represents integrity. Back in the days, when there was something special to talk about, wise men used to sit in circle. Not everyone was invited to join them. But in this story, the protagonist was invited among the wise men's circle.“
