doom-death

Northern metal giants Amorphis recently released “The Moon”, a beautifully haunting first taste of their forthcoming album “Halo”, set for release on February 11th, 2022, via Atomic Fire Records. To shorten the wait until the arrival of their second single, “On the Dark Waters” (out on January 28th, 2022), the band has announced a limited 7" blue/white vinyl single of the same name, due out on the same day.

Rock and metal music have always been a haven for those who have bigger stories to tell; who have grander emotions to convey. For more than thirty years, Finnish figureheads Amorphis have done their best to carve their very own niche in heartfelt yet aggressive, melancholic yet soothing tunes.

On “Halo”, their staggering fourteenth studio effort, the Finns underline their trailblazing status as one of the most original, culturally relevant, and rewarding acts ever to emerge from the land of the thousand lakes.

After nine years of silence and in celebration of the band’s 25th anniversary, progressive doom/death veterans Psilocybe Larvae are proud to announce the forthcoming release of fifth full-length album “Where Silence Dwells”.

Sweden’s melodic death/doom metallers October Tide will hit the road in May 2022 for a headlining European tour.

European Tour Dates 2022:
7 May 2022 - INCINERATION FEST, LONDON, UK
8 May 2022 - BAROEG, ROTTERDAM, NL

While concerts and cheering crowds seem to be a long lost echo from the past these days, melancholic progressive metallers Amorphis bring back some of the life and uncomparable energy that many of us have been missing so desperately. Recorded during a special hometown show that took place on December 7th, 2019, little did the Finns know that this would be one of their last concerts before the pandemic outbreak in early 2020.
