AMORPHIS To Enter Studio In January

December 12, 2006

AMORPHIS guitarist Esa Holopainen guitarist has issued the following update:

"It's been a really hectic year in the AMORPHIS camp and at the same time one of the best ones in our career. We released 'Eclipse', the first album with Mr. Joutsen on vocals, in spring and all the response from album & shows has been great. We really find the mood which I honestly thought that we lost years back. Big thanks to Tomi and his inspiration to all of us. With 'Eclipse' we opened new era in our career, and yes, we are still together with this lineup (AMORPHIS mark 7 or something...) :)

"Anyway, to brief you a bit; we are currently composing new material for the next AMORPHIS album. No title or release date has been issued yet, but we'll enter the Sonic Pump Studios again at the beginning of January 2007 with the same team as on the last session. Mr. Karmila will be mixing the tracks sometime in late February at Finnvox Studio. We'll keep you updated, and meanwhile, check our tour dates; we are going to do shows whenever possible during making our new 'kid' come alive."

AMORPHIS has been confirmed for next year's installment of the Wacken Open Air festival, set to take place August 2-4, 2007 in Wacken, Germany.

AMORPHIS' latest album, "Eclipse", was issued in a limited vinyl edition in a deluxe gatefold sleeve by Black Lodge Records under worldwide license from Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to 2003's "Far from the Sun" was recorded at Sonic Pump studios in Helsinki with engineer Nino Laurenne (THUNDERSTONE). The production duties were handled by the band and Marco Hietala (NIGHTWISH) for vocals. The mixing was taken care of by Mikko Karmila (who previously worked with the group on their "Am Universum" CD) at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki.
