Guitarist Esa Holopainen adds: "It's a very atmospheric and catchy song that represents what AMORPHIS sound like in 2021 well."

THE MOON
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
Music: Kallio
Lyrics: Pekka Kainulainen

Can we all agree that Tomi Joutsen is an absolute beast of a singer and is massively underrated?
Yes.
100% facts!!!
So true my friend! Well said. He is a true talent and such a devoted singer, getting better with time, like an old wine.
100%
I literal post this in any discussion about Tomi: I wish the boys from Type O would do some tribute shows and recruit Tomi to do vocals. He’s one of the few vocalists with both the range & stage persona to actually do Pete proud 🤘🖤💚
So honored to be featured in this beautiful song (and album)! Always a pleasure to work with Amorphis
Thank you for your beautiful vocals after the second chorus,it was such a soothing and wholesome vibe to the whole track!
You did great on these!
Beautiful voice! Congratulations!
I love you Noa !!
@@olivierchartier8937 she is my sin, you have to be careful.
One of the greatest metal bands of all time, to be sure.
The best*
@@tobythehamster3180 Absolutely agree. Going beyond personal opinion, theres a solid case to be made, especially if we are talking about Joutsen - era Amorphis (and I absolutely am). Honestly every single album from Eclipse onwards has been a critically acclaimed masterpiece. Even the weakest album of the Joutsen era, which IMO is "Circle", would be a career highlight for most other bands. While they may not be the most popular or commercially successful, youd be hard-pressed to name another metal band with 7 straight critically acclaimed albums. Not to mention the fact that they evolve a little bit with every release while also retaining a unique identifiable sound.
100% agree with everything you said!!
C'mon Feb 11th!!
still alive!
Agreed, although I think this album is much weaker than Circle.
These men never slide backwards, they never slow down. They never put out anything thats mediocre...Amorphis always writes & plays amazing metal. They have never compromised their style & it just keeps getting more refined every album
absolutely
Ever since my dad recommended this bands music, I’ve been so obsessed I could barely stop listening! Dad even ordered me a t-shirt of Amorphis! I’ll be honored to follow my dads metal music path!
Go see them live with your dad.
@@yippeethreeeight genius! Dad will take me when he can!
So wholesome! :)
Good dad
Welcome to the (metal) family 🤘🤘
This song is definitely a grower, the more you listen to it the more you love it
I agree. I loved it the first time I heard I. But as time goes on i love it more.
Indeed. Like Tool songs!
A Guinness Book World Record is due for never creating a bad song in the entirety of a 3 decade long career!
Far From The Sun could use being re-recorded with a little more passion and Joutsen on vocals.
@@abillmurray With a title: Closer to the sun
Been listening to Amorphis for more than 20 years, it's incredible how many great songs they recorded. This one is a banger.
Everytime Esa starts playing, I'm drawn in immediately. He isn't just playing the guitar, he's creating magic with it. And then they surprised me with Tomi's growls (with the intro, I was expecting clean vocals throughout the song). Great song overall, and at the end I sat here with goosebumps. And as usual, I love the lyrics (kudos and thanks to Pekka Kainulainen for being such an integral part of the Amorphis universe).
Esa is an underrated legend
Love Esa
And that baseline is beautiful.
Love Ollie Pekka
As someone who has enjoyed metal music and metal/rock guitarists since the 80s, Esa is on a different level. He may not be an absolute shredder or virtuoso, instead, he always finds beautiful and expressive ways to harness emotional or aggressive passages. He seems to always know the appropriate characteristics the guitar work needs to have to fit the music without showboating or showing off like so many other lead guitarists. Stay classy Esa.
@@mathewweichel1050 agreed 100%
....and Ollie has such a beautiful playing style. I absolutely love his work!
this sounds cool and progressive, but epic and majestic too. love this band.
Amorphis just never disappoints. I fucking love this band forever. 🖤
I was at the concert here in Spain 2 days ago and it was PERFECT, even better than I imagined
Such a stunning combination of Amorphis' different styles. It's a beautiful blend of a song, with an epic feel, a soaring chorus, and gorgeous dynamics. Can't wait to hear this one live!
What an amazing song! Amorphis doesn't disappoint on his albums.
Tomi Joutsen has a fantastic voice that makes the song unique.
I found this sound to have a progressive feel, which made it great with Joutsen's guttural vocals.
For sure Halo will be an excellent album.
Joutsen is my favorite vocalist by a long shot....and I like some bad ass vocalists!!
I have high expectations for Halo.....and (especially since Joutsen joined) Amorphis does not disappoint!!
I’m completely OBSESSED with this song !
Wow this band is getting popular more and more when hits like this keep on coming. Proud to be finnish again! 🇫🇮🇫🇮🤘🏻🤘🏻
Toden totta 👍
wait... was there a time when u werent finnish?
@@andresgonzalez887 hahahaha
@@andresgonzalez887 He said "proud", meaning that maybe in the past he wasn't very proud of being one, not that he wasn't finnish.
@@MoonOvIce yes, I think he was just being silly :)
After 12 years you are finally coming to Greece!!! Can't wait to see and listen to you guys it's gonna be a great night! 🤘❤️🇫🇮🇬🇷
Just saw them yesterday. This song sent chills down my spine. Such a great band.
This is probably the best 2022 song released
After nearly 30 years of listening to them, I love how fresh and epic they continue to sound. Always Amorphis but always changing just enough. Perfect.
Yeah, it is in the name :)
Changing? May I ask where do you hear the changes? I'm really interested in it. To my mind they stopped evolving 15 years ago and play the same music on every album. It doesn't mean I don't like their music, but... It's the same
@@yksi5074 It's not an overt big change, but each album has its own sound and feel to it. I'm also taking their entire catalog as they've gone through several changes. But "Circle" had this darker feel to it in both sound and lyrics. "Queen of Time" was much more bright and open sounding. These may be subjective, but I notice each album having a different feel to it and not the same thing each time.
@@yksi5074 I agree, Amorphis evolution happened between "Tales of.." and "Am universum" then came the lame period when the band tried to get back to its "roots" but kind of failing to reach 10/10. and now they sound stuck in a loop for the past 2 albums and this new song does not bring much change to the table. As a fan since their debut "Karelian Isthmus" i have kind of given up on any big expectations, but they surprise every now an then, but i am not a big fan of their latest works, way too commercial and repetitive/hit formula for me.
@@M.S-Music 100% true. I couldn't express the same feeling better. The only difference is that I'm their fan since 1995-1996, when I listened to Tales for the first time.
You who listen this song and think this is absolutely amazing. Do know that you have great taste of music and you can feel something beyond what words can describe.
Wilderun is my favorite band currently and I came here looking for more. I am not disappointed and will be exploring this band. I've been searching playlists on YT and Spotify, reading music magazines and album reviews for weeks now, going through thousands of songs and hundreds of bands. Amorphis may actually be one of the closest to Wilderun that I've heard so far.
If anybody can recommend more bands like this that would be very much appreciated. I don't know if there's a genre name that encapsulates all the specific musical elements that these bands put forward. Looking for mixed vocals, prog-, alt-, melodeath metal with a quality filmic orchestral sounds.
Amorphis did this once again. Some magic kind of music. Awesome song, can't waiting for the album!
One of those songs that gets better the more times you listen it, soundscape is really nice and it keeps giving some chills in steady bursts.
Fan since Tales from the Thousand Lakes. Saw you guys quite a few times live in Montreal. Still around, still amazed. Especially by the last three albums (including Halo from what I've heard so far). Thanks for the amazing music guys!!!
Theres talent. And then theres Amorphis. I'm so impressed how they keep their quality and still make each album different. By far my favorite band. Thank you for this gem!
The aura being exuded through this song is one of such a world class band at the top of their game. This feels like a mature and veteran version of Amorphis, and I'm all here for it
This Song Is So Beautiful Emotional and Powerful.. It's a Love Song and it's so athmosferic and catchy and say tell how Amorphis sounds in 2022...They Are Killer Metal Masters
Beautiful song. Beautiful band.
As a long time fan, I have to say Amorphis ages like a fine whiskey.
Well put. Tastes smoother & stronger & sweeter as they age
Mega Song❤️ Super Sound und sehr tolle Stimme🧡 Amorphis ist grandios👍
I love this! I've been a huge fan of Amorphis since Silent Waters and this is continuing to please me. One of the things in particular that stands out about them, and this track in particular, is how good they are at making odd time signatures sound so natural and groovy to the point where you barely even notice it unless you're really listening.
Such an amazing group. These guys have been amazing since the 90s but are a rare example of a band that gets Better, and better, and better.
Always loved this band.
Thanks for all the great memories ... and more to come.
kiitos!
Just saw them live !!
I overlove this Band 🤘❤️🤘
The coolest band, song, video, of all time
Just woke up to this and it's -20C out yet it's going to be a damn good day. These guys are unstoppable. Their music just makes me happy.
Amorphis is back, ladies and gentlemen! 🖤🇫🇮
Amorphis takes you on a journey with their songs. A beautiful combination of harsh and cleans are just incredible. I'm such a fan. FANTASTIC
What a band!!
What blows me away about Amorphis is without fail each album has at least 10 moments where my jaw drops open due to how incredible the music is. I can't believe they STILL continue to do it without getting repetitive or tired.
amen and agreed... they just continue to produce melodic art year after year..... :)
I cannot express correctly the feeling that I get every time when I listen the songs of this band ❤ This just gave me goosebumps!
Go, look at the moon
And inspect the sun!
Now they are in the sky
Right in their old places
Been a fan for some years now... still amazing
Amorphis at it's best! Outstanding mates.
Excellent as Always. Amorphis is a very good band ever. Another great album. Thanks guys, you rocks.
Man, just came here to say that this is the best Ad CZcams has ever shown me.
Release on my Birthday...Thank you Amorphis 🙏 that will be the best gift
Nobody can growl as better as Tomi. There, I said it
Amorphis and Insomnium,,never an average song,,outstanding👏👏👏
I couldn't agree more as I love these 2 bands
Kun oli kunnia ja ilo kätellä taikuri Holopaista, kerroin hänen olevan sankarini. Hän vain pudisti päätään ja sanoi jokaisen fanin olevan hänen sankareitaan. Uskomattoman hieno mies 🤘
I have been following them since 92, when I bought the Karelian Isthmus on green vinyl. Disappointment was something they always failed to create in me. One of Europe's most professional band of musicians. Thanks for the advance on the new album. Hope to see them again at Vagos Metal fest, Portugal. Cheers, Amorphis!
I feel so much Silver Lake in this song, and that's so amazing!!!
This album is an absolute masterpiece.
Amorphis never disappoint \m/
One of the greatest metal bands ever.
Beautiful video...the black looks great on my OLED. Great song! Amorphis never disappoints...
AMORPHIS is amazing. They just continue to put out one brilliant CD/Album after another. I think they are incapable of producing a bad (or even a mediocre CD/Album) Major Respect to them and to all of Finland.
Instant sing-along chorus!
Pretty song
Been listening to this band for over 22 years, they always bring it with their unique style !
Lovely song , amazing video , brilliant vocals , superb craftsmanship by Amorphis and team. 4 cheers from India
Wooooooow what an amazing video ❤❤❤❤❤
Incredible how he transitions from harsh to clean vocals 🤘
Yes! That's what I love about Tomi Joutsen.
Tomi Swan
@@xooperz He can be both the white swan and the black one 😗.
Such a great blend of harmonies
Amorphis never stops surprising, style changes, blending of genres plus high-grade professionalism.
It's no exaggeration I've heard this song on repeat during my 9-hour workday today. So good!
I am not surprised.. i do the same.
Simply the essence of Amorphis. Looking forward a release of the new album. Kiitos. Greetings from Poland
Amazing Song💯Amorphis Forever🤘🎉
I'm sooo overwhelmed with joy! Finally a new album!! Been waiting for 4 years!!!
Man, I have been out of the loop for a while, but thank God for Amorphis still being around. They got me through college in 2001, and I love knowing that they're still making new stuff (and it's continually amazing).
They just keep getting better and better. Amazing.
Awesome song
"Conan, what is best in life?"
"Amorphis being Amorphis"
"That is good"
This song is soooo EPIC! Amorphis makes pure metal art!🤘😈👏👍
Stary jestem jak Amorphis..Podoba mi się.
"You´re the moon, you are my light..... " makes my hair stand on end.
Im bald, impotent goblin who eats he's own snot with he's siblings. Still i get the picture.
Beautiful! Amorphis never disappoints.
Amorphis has never been away
Aaaaah....finally something to look forward to in the new year.
One of my favorites bands ever. Amorphis always kick asses
An Amorphis fan since 1994. You are HUGE!!
Great song! Tomi Joutsen has both the voice of a bear and a nice clean dramatic baritone.
Yes !! Lovely
you just know from the first chords of guitars, and the bass and the drum beats, that this is amorpis..been listening to them for a long time.. and they always amaze me with their superior songwriting and musicianship.. it´s always different, but yet you immediately recognize it to be amorphis.
❤️❤️❤️Fantastic!!!!
The guys from the thousand lakes strikes back with a new masterpiece.......good to hear from you....amorphis is a part of the metal history in the World,you give colour to our souls,heart to our Imagination and bring back the taste to our tears we need at night.....thanx 4 all
Amazing
Love from Bulgaria
oh yeah looking forward to the rest of the album
No words, Amorphis are the best period! 🤘🤘🤘
Very beautiful song! Waiting for the album.
fabulus song, great album!!!
...Wow!!
With out words, #Amorphis you're mi Guiding Lights Baby!!!......
Absolutely astounding! Well done Amorphis and Pekka! Love from Australia - your fans here would love to see you!!
I tried listening to this band a few times before but never really got hooked but THIS SONG is AMAZING! I love this so much! That drum, that melody, those clean vocals!!! Ah! I'm buying this!
There are quite a few clean vocal songs that Amorphis knocks out of the park as well. Some of my favorites are Mission, Silent Waters, Sampo, and Silver Bride. Some of my favorite mixed vocals like this song are The Smoke, Towards and Against, and Skyforger. Check those out!
i recommend to you the song "Brother and Sister" i believe that song with just clean vocals will like you! or i hope so xP
@@BlackWinterDay66 skyforger top song, amorphis rules,many good albums with many perfect songs, top art
Need to listen to the Elegy album!
Every their song is amazing.
I love the keyboard and guitars
My favorite !!!!My favorite🖤🖤🖤💕💕💕💕!!
This guys keep getting better and better, it's just amazing
This song is just too ambient. OMG !! I think this should be played at my funeral !!! Hell Yeah !!! Love from India !! Hail Metal !!
Great song guys!!!! Can't wait for the album
Guys show Incredible evolution thru years. Great!
