"Halo", the new chef d'oeuvre from Finland's melancholic progressive metallers AMORPHIS will be released via Atomic Fire on February 11th. In advance of the record's official unveiling, today the band finally reveals a new single accompanied by a music video filmed in the Finnish snow and directed by Pekka Hara. 'On The Dark Waters' is further proof of the band's undeniable talent in fusing heavy riffs with an epic and melodic chorus, and is not only part of the new album but also available as an exclusive 7'' vinyl.
Lyricist Pekka Kainulainen comments the theme of the track:
"I got the idea to reverse the direction of the Tuonela stream - Tuonela is the realm of the dead in Finnish mythology. So I started writing from the moment of death... And death was not the end, but the beginning."
AMORPHIS are:
Tomi Joutsen | vocals
Esa Holopainen | guitars
Tomi Koivusaari | guitars
Santeri Kallio | keyboards
Olli-Pekka Laine| bass
Jan Rechberger | drums

On The Dark Waters
On the dark waters of Tuonela
Sailed a ship hewn out of bone
Clambering against the current
Swiftly sailing the black waters
No water gushed around its fore
No trail left behind its aft
No oars there were to be seen
No sail hoisted on its mast
Who did sail that boat of bone
Steer the silent ship of death?
As it flew and dove
And made its way upstream?
Waiting at the dark headwaters
Were a people sullen, silent
Baying for that ship to take
Their dead downstream
A ship of bone rose from the river
Called the dead aboard its deck
Through the fiery gates of life
It took its silent passengers
The black waters of that river
Turned to blood, bubbled and boiled
As the boat of bone was blazing
Dead, dry veins ran red with life
Who did sail that boat of bone
Steer the silent ship of death?
As it flew and dove
And made its way upstream?
Waiting at the dark headwaters
Were a people sullen, silent
Baying for that ship to take
Their dead downstream
Into a dark bend of the river
Were cast the nameless unborn
On top of a barren outcrop
Naked bodies of the elders
The dead were squinting their eyes
As they once more saw their shadow
They were born to a life of tears
In the light of a forgotten sun
Swiftly on the sable waters
Sailed back the boat of bone
To the dark waters of Tuonela
And the people woke astounded
To the dawn of their new life
(Tuonela’s dark water)
Saw the day once more a-breaking
(Tuonela’s dark water)
Knew the night would be descending

#Amorphis #OnTheDarkWaters #Halo - Hudba
I love this versión of Amorphis, with a balance between growls and cleans. Tomi Joutsen, one of the greatest metal vocalists ever.
I concur, he be one of my favorites. These guys together I admire, combined into this band make some pure excellent music. Good stuff.
They practically remade and remastered "Better Unborn" with a 2020 style music and it's fucking gorgeous.. Really one of the best bands out there tbh :)
yes it's well balanced lyrics+ singer is good too..
He’s one of the few that does both to such a high level. Melodic parts are done with so much beauty, anguish and emotion then always has such an effortless transition into the aggressive growls. Can change the mood of the song instantly with his vocal delivery
yep tomi is learn album by album better his vovals!!!great growls and clean vocals too!!!
The vocalist is a true inspiration.
@Emily An Concordo 🤘🏼
My Swedish mother used to say that the Finns are some weirdos living in the forest and nobody knows what they were doing before inventing Nokia. History proved that they were preparing the advent of the best band ever!! I never got tired of Amorphis, soundtrack of my life.
😆
😂
😂🤣
@Ален Балакбаев calm down, man! Best band is Orbit Culture 🤣
@Ален Балакбаев you'll hear about them soon enough. 😎
Surprised there's not a random Black Metal band shooting another video back there at the same time. But other than that, ALL HAIL AMORPHIS!
There was, about 100ft away.
I'll look forward to your reaction!
I think Finnish roadies go through and clear them out before another group can start filming.
@@jamcam9 Immortal is probably back there being weird again hahaha
@@nicholaslindsey7087 Just quickly scuttling and crab walking everywhere annoying the film crew.
Every fuckin time, Tomi's voice brings tears to my eyes. Well done.
I am amazed on how Amorphis just keeps getting better and better with each release.
I think their'e getting worse. I mean, of course there is tons of potential but they are just too soft, at least for my taste. Old releases were much better
@@S1mcard I finally got this album. Other than this song, the albums was kind of meh and a let down. The previous two were so much better.
Amorphis ist die beste Band der Welt 🥰
Hab 1994 die Tales from the Thousand Lakes in Limited Blue Vinyl gekauft. Hab Amorphis supergern gehört. Aber die beste Band der Welt bleibt Arch Enemy ;)
Amorphis The best for sure!! 😊
@@danielh299 Zuerst dachte ich, als ich den Satz gelesen habe, dass wieder sowas wie "früher waren die schon besser", "früher waren die härter" kommt. Gut gerettet, auch wenn der Satz mit Arch Enemy endet. 😃
@@pezelpetz hehe danke. Aber wenn ich so drüber nachdenke sind diese Herren doch bei mir weiter vorne als all die anderen. czcams.com/video/vrfr9t6FuTU/video.html Allein Mario Duplantier ... wenn Talent und Genie zusammenkommt. :)
ja sie sind toll, und Arch Enemy ist auch ok, aber Soilwork steht bei mir ganz oben :)
I love this. Amorphis shines the most when they balance clean and growled vocals - Tomi is one of my favorite vocalists out there, he's just SO STRONG and the rest of the band backs him up so well!
I agree best of this band so far...
Yes indeed, but I would love to hear the more diverse nuances of his super talented voice. For example the doomish screams in Nightbird's song are great! Probably the cleans on this album are the best they have ever recorded. Hair lifting stuff! 🤘🏻
@@markustupala8180 that's one of my favorite all time songs!! Chills!
A godlike voice if I ever heard one.
How can a song feel both nostalgic and completely new at the same time?
Music: Amazing
Video: Amazing
Amorphis: Amazing
Amorphis are the Best👍🤟
Is that video amazing?
Well maybe it fits the mood. Otherwise I think it's really ordinary.
And I do dig the band, but that's just how I feel about the video.
@@Aurinkohirvi personally I thought the video played well to the atmosphere of the song.
When I discovered Amorphis I had no idea how much they would change my life and how much I would love them, I'm not a fan of harsh vocals and growls, but when I listen to Jutsen his voice comes like a melody, the folk elements, the riffs of Holopainen and the solos from keyboards and guitar are enchanting, they take me on a journey, I become one with their music.
Oh how much i love this band!!!
It has Tuonela vibes with the greatness of modern sound. The Elegy solo with sitar is magnificent... And lot of winter... Well done our Musical Heroes.
Amorphis is quickly becoming one of my all time favorites 🤘🏼
Super Song👍melodisch stark emotional ausdrucksstark einfach genial❤️🖤tolles Video!!!!!!!!!!!
Greetings from Costa Rica, I have a friend in Finland, HE SHOWED ME THIS BAND, I LOVE IT
I'm in love. You guys never disappoint . Sending lots of love from Bulgaria
Nice.🤟👹😈👍👍👍
Tomi Joutsen you are the KING the Vocal MASTER Of the balance between growl and clean.. WOW!!!!
Awesome Killer Song.. And Everything In The Video Really KILLS!!! Amorphis Your'e No Doubt
THE BEST KILLER METAL BAND 🤘
Legends , icon´s, unbreakable band .........you rule over all !!! Pure inspiration !!! Always in my heart since 1996🤘🤘🤘🤘
this is a masterpiece...diverse, heavy, dark, wonderful.
I love the part at 3:48 when he starts singing the phrase, then pauses a few words in. And you're thinking he'll finish the phrase in a few beats but then he holds the pause juuuuust a bit longer. Then he finally comes back in at the last second to complete the phrase. It sounds soooo good! ❤
Tomi really has one of the greatest most underrated vocals ever. I forgot how much I love listening to this man. When I saw them live quite a number of years ago I was blown away by his seamless transition from brutals to cleans. Love all the songs so far from the new album.
I first heard them when they were support for Volbeat (yes, I know..) Usually support bands I'ven ever heard of don't do it for me but holy fucking shit these guys blew me away. Tomi's voice is among my favourites.
THIS! I saw them live three days ago for the first time and I was totally blown away by his voice - the way he uses it is magical! First he's singing normally, just beautiful melodic singing, and then switches to the incredible roar so effortlessly it's unbelievable.
@@outijalkanen6242 Joutsen is the best vocalist in the business.
My favorite vocalist and my favorite band 💕 💗
I just pre-ordered the Amorphis book in English.......so excited
Huge sound, deep lyrics, great kebab vibes and always mesmerizing Tomi Joutsen, Amorphis at it's purest greatness.
Oh, you meant there were some Turkish / Central Asian sounds in the music. Hmmm, yeah, that's the vibe I got too.
Edit: although it could be Egyptian (which was part of the Turkic horizon once) too. I'm widening the horizont to Middle-East - Central Asia.
The band has been using that term since introducing those sounds few records back. Really delicious!
Hieno biisi taas. Oon 61 vuotta ja aloin noin 5 vuotta sitten kuunnella tätä genreä ja poikani suositteli Amorphista. Olen pitänyt paljon. Tätä uutta albumia olen odottanut jo jonkun aikaa ja hyvältä kuulostaa!
On hienoa löytää itselle uusia kotimaisia bändejä! 👍 Itse löysin genren pari vuotta sitten ja monta mahtavaa bändiä 🔥 Keikkalippu taskussa odottelen ekaa metalli keikkaa 😊
Huomenta Heikki ei missään tapuksessa ole myöhäistä kuunnella yhtä Suomen hienoimmista bändeistä..Itse olin littanut Amorphiksen levyt jo pölyttymään mutta tämä muuttaa asiat..varmasti!
Tuntuu,että tämä bändi paranee vuosien vieriessä. Kolme kertaa livenä nähnyt ja ei voi saada tarpeeksi todellakaan. Aivan mahtava!!

A thing that I love in Amorphis, is that they have inspiration in mythology.
@@Aurinkohirvi pretty sure this is my favorite song on the album....
The part from 3:42 on always gets tears in my eyes. The richness, the intensity, the speed. It's so stress relieving, feels so decondensing, soothing and calming, while charging you up with strength at the same time. I discovered the band while hanging out a the Viking bar in Berlin, drinking met. This will be one of my best years.
Plenty of awesome songs in there, have a nice time going through the catalogue. 🤟
Amorphis will never disappoint. Truly one of Finland's finest bands EVER. Been into them for years and probably always will :) Eternally in love with Tomi's vocals. You guys are the soundtrack of my life. Thank you for the amazing music.
Wooooo! Loved that guitar tone in the solo. Very reminiscent of medieval sounds, lutes and hurdy-gurdies.
🔥🔥Another great song from Amorphis! Tomi Joutsen is unique the way he changes between growl and clean vocal in the same song! Greetings from a Norwegian Amorphis fan age 63! 🤘
This is one of the few bands that never disappoints!
Hast voll recht....die wissen wie man gute Musik....amorphis forever 👍
And here my neighbors were thinking they were going to have a quiet weekend.... You guys did it again, I'll be blasting this one for days 🤘
This album is proving to be, like, the right mix of elements of Under the Red Cloud and Queen of Time. I think they're striking the balance well. Yeah. Yeah, this is good stuff.
I can also hear some Circle in this and the previous single.
@@Natsu1996 aye, agree on circle
All 3 albums (UTRC, QOT and Halo) are produced by the same person.
IDK about other songs but this one was practically a "Better unborn" remaster placed on UTRC.. Just felt that great uniqueness while still preserving everything that this band is about tbh :)
completely copasetic.
His metal growl into clean is epic
Absolutely.
One of the most powerful Amorphis albums! Im listening this for third time and every song got its own force and greatness!
Finally some new gold from the cold north!
Strange and beautiful, just the way i like it. Amorphis, one of the best bands ever.
I love you Amorphis! Tommi you are one of the best metal vocalists and Esa you are my all time favorite guitar players /lyricists. Hope you come to Greece soon! We' are truly waiting you here guys!!! 🤘🤘🇬🇷🇬🇷❤️❤️🇫🇮🇫🇮
I think that I am listening to this like 50th time today :)
Amorphis 👍🤟👍 mein Lieblingssänger und Stimmwunder💛🖤
Few things more epic than Sande playing the organ in the snowy woods with his Amorphis companions. And few things more Finnish 👌🇫🇮
Amorphis hits my heart every time I listen to it and I have to thank my dad for showing me this, when he dies, I will pass on his legacy of death metal and show the next gen the beauty of Amorphis and death metal💜 May Amorphis stay alive and strong forever!🤘
Hell yeh🎉
Мощно, сочно, жирно. Напоминает старый добрый Amorphis конца 90-х годов.
I thought you were talking about my ex girlfriend. She was a tough one.
@@jchuck8932 Is she dead now?
One of the Greatest Bands....since Tale form the Thousand lakes i just love them
Another great song from one of the best metal bands in the world! 💙Amorphis 💙🇬🇷
Amorphis. Nunca falla...que temazo...a la espera del cd....
Album of the Year 2022
This track could attract a lot of new fans, every kind of metal, gothic, progressive, rock, hard rock, medieval and ethnic music are perfectly mixed! Astonishing piece of art!
I love the little Middle Eastern touch that you can find in many of their pieces. That's one of the things that got me hooked as soon as I listened to them in concert a while ago.
У меня нет слов - одни эмоции !!! Красиво и мощно ! Томи - реально как оборотень: то ревёт как адский медведь гризли, то поёт как сладкий плюшевый мишка))) Ребята, я вас люблю !!!
100%
@Ален Балакбаев Ну,на вкус на цвет😁
@Ален Балакбаев согласен, ничего нового, жвачка уровня проходных песен с 3-х прошлых альбомов
@Ален Балакбаев Полностью поддерживаю. Очень слабенько, а про уровень The black winter night даже и речи нет.
@@poetryofthepacificocean9820 что-то по моему у Вас вкуса нет товарищи. Песня лучшая у них получилась.
Amorphis can do no wrong! Another great song!
Just saw them live a few days ago, get the hell out there and go see them, they are great live and deserve the support !!
Beautifully shot video. Makes me want to venture out into the cold unknown, with Amorphis playing in my ear. Bliss!
Powerful, epic, brutal, melodic, mastery...this and more are Amorphis, every song is an experience!!!can't wait for the album and the next live!!!
Amorphis returns.
BEST medicine against depresión COVID.
Once great notice
Some serious Kingston Wall vibes. Nice.
The best song from 2022 💯🔥💯🔥
Oh yes, how I've missed them. Another masterpiece! Tomi's voice, epic as ever... maybe I'm a little teary eyed.
Just amazing!!! Strong and emotional. Just Amorphis!!!
Amorphis es demasiado bacán, amo esta banda ql.
The more you listen to this, the more you discover new amazing things
Amorphis always deliver! Impressive and outstanding effort!
I love this band. ❤️ So down to Earth. Back in 2016 they made a concert with Godsmack in my city. One day before the concert they and the guys from Godsmack were at a open metal bar in the city drinkin beer and they chatted, made pictures with fans, icluding me,and behaved very friendly with all fans. The drummer Jan even gifted me with an guitar pick with the Amorphis logo.
They seem to be really nice guys.
Hope someday I can see them play live.
Another banger. I'm so glad i discovered this band, just wish it hadn't taken me so long.
You have 30+ years worth of material to dig into 😁
The simplicity and rawness of it!!!
Amorphis is back with full force! Dialling back to more heavier touch was definitely the right choice. This song delivers!
Fantastic!
Simply Amorphis no more to explain
Just visually awestruck at this point
Esa did it again !!!!!,🤘🤘🤘🤘
Tämä osoittaa jälleen että, genre on voimissaan ja nämä Amorphis-isännät tuovat kalvakkaan kolean tunnelman meidän nautittavaksi. Syvistä ja tummista humuspitoisista vesistä nousee huippuosaaminen kaiken näiden koettelemusten keskellä. Iso kiitos! Toivo on läsnä.
OMG.
VIVA AMORPHIS
Thankyou again Amorphis for another great track!
