Melancholic progressive metallers Amorphis are about to unleash their latest offering entitled “Queen of Time” on May 18th, 2018 via Nuclear Blast.
Today the band is teasing fans with a taster of what to expect from their 10th studio album.
Listen to opening track “The Bee”, below.
Guitarist Esa Holopainen explains thew track: “This song is a very powerful opener and gives a nice picture of what the whole album is all about. You can already hear some new elements like choirs and orchestral arrangements in it”.
With vocalist Tomi Joutsen adding: “Of course, the lyrical inspiration is a bee, also in a metaphoric way. The tiniest thing can sometimes be the most important thing. A bee can bring life or if we destroy all the bees, life will stop here. It's a very beautiful animal, that's why you can find it on the album cover too. The track itself is a kind of progressive and I'm sure that it will surprise some fans in a positive way. We love it!”...
