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

#Amorphis #TheMoon #Halo
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.
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 🤘🤘
Me: Amorphis can not keep the same level after the last two albums. New stuff can not be better or at the same level...
Amorphis: hold my beer.
Huahauahuahauhaua
For an old fart like me i would say the first 3 records then after that's it for me.
Bee*
*can't keep the same level after Privilege of evil
I'm with you. Discovered them with Eclipse and didn't love the older stuff as much, but this song is amazing and every album with Tomi - particular UTRC till now has been just the best. Became my favorite band along that journey. February sucks for being so far away....
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
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!
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!!
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!
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!
I loved it immediately. Even better live. Dallas 9/10/24 Their new album is becoming my favorite.
this sounds cool and progressive, but epic and majestic too. love this band.
Amorphis just never disappoints. I fucking love this band forever. 🖤
Been listening to Amorphis for more than 20 years, it's incredible how many great songs they recorded. This one is a banger.
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 :)
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
...Wow!!
With out words, #Amorphis you're mi Guiding Lights Baby!!!......
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
I was at the concert here in Spain 2 days ago and it was PERFECT, even better than I imagined
Бесподобно 🤩 атмосферный клип, а музыка и вокал - нереальная мощь и магия, полное погружение и перенос в другую реальность .. ребята, спасибо !!! 🔥🔥🔥
Exactly!
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!!!
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.
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.
Amorphis did this once again. Some magic kind of music. Awesome song, can't waiting for the album!
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 🤘
Mega Song❤️ Super Sound und sehr tolle Stimme🧡 Amorphis ist grandios👍
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.
Финны - Красавцы . Песня от души
Ой , пишу по-русски . Блядь , Я РУССКИЙ
That's a really good song!
My impression: The intro and the chorus rank among Amorphis' most melodic achievements in recent years, yet the band chose not to play it fully safe. The rest of the song has a more proggy vibe. Hence, this is not the typical people-pleaser and Radio-hit.
As far as I'm concerned, the contrast of Pop and Prog makes it a way more interesting lead single than, say, "Her I need" or "Sacrifice".
Looking forward to diving into the entire album in February.
''You I need''*
C'mon Feb 11th!! 😉
Right, "You I need" ;-)
I mixed it up with "Her alone" - which is the better song in my opinion anyway haha.
@@hendrikbehnisch1469 lol. All good. I like both equally. Anneka has a great voice.
Tämä on paras Amorphis biisi ehdottomasti. Rumpali on se kirsikka kakun päällä.
As a long time fan, I have to say Amorphis ages like a fine whiskey.
Well put. Tastes smoother & stronger & sweeter as they age
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.
This is probably the best 2022 song released
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!
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.
"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.
Release on my Birthday...Thank you Amorphis 🙏 that will be the best gift
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.
I cannot express correctly the feeling that I get every time when I listen the songs of this band ❤ This just gave me goosebumps!
Одна из самых лучших групп. Аморфис топ группа.
20 лет уже слушаю)
fu** i can't stop listening 🤘🏼 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Love the more organic production, some great guitar work, drumming, Tomi's vocals do sound great. Not the best Amorphis track ever, but makese me feel good about the album. Well done guys!
Have every album from Karelian Isthmus to Queen of Time & they just keep getting better!
When bands release a new album i'm always a little afraid that they will go towards the wrong direction (lol)
But Amorphis.... Holy fuck they cant make bad songs! They are literally the only band i know of that will always release good shit in the future
Dark Tranquillity
Exactly.Holy Fuck!👏😀
Amorphis never disappoint \m/
Just saw them live !!
I overlove this Band 🤘❤️🤘
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.
They are going more towards Progressive metal and its not a bad thing
Awesome song!
They’ve dabbled with Progressive Rock/Metal since the late 90’s
70's prog has always been a huge influence. You can even hear it as far back as "Tales..." they were/are hughe Kingstom Wall fans. They were a 70's prog style band from Finland whom Amorphis covered on the Kantele EP.
Rush fans aswell. 💕
Man that band never disappoints. Are they the best band regarding technique? Probably not. But their songs have soul, they cause to me they same feeling i had when my grandfather was telling me a story... I just sit and listen. Thank you for another great chapter of your story, hope to see you again in Greece some day.
Шикарная композиция!!! Остаётся только дождаться оф.релиза. 🤘🌑🤘
I hope to see you soon over here in el Salvador
THE GREAT SONG THE GREAT BAND OF DEATH/DOOM METAL !!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
"Conan, what is best in life?"
"Amorphis being Amorphis"
"That is good"
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!
mid-tempo one, I was expecting something more energic for the first single. But really happy, they're back !
Tem como dar uns 1000 likes? Amorphis sendo Amorphis!! 🤘🤘
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.
Each new album is better than the last! Let's pump Amorphis to the moon!!!
Tales From The Thousand Lakes and Elegy are the best Amorphis albums till this day. And they hardly will be ever surpassed.
@@hdmetal9507 Tuonela
@@Kliffoth318 Tuonela's also one of the best their albums but a step lower these two )
I'd say Tales From The Thousand Lake, Elegy, Tuonela, Am Universum can be named as the golden era of Amorphis.
@@hdmetal9507 well, I prefer any of the last three albums to any other album, but that is just me.
Of course that if you know the band since the beginning those albums will be more relevant to you. But to me all albums are good. I don't think they have bad albums.
@@hdmetal9507 It's weird cause I LOVE Tuonela but Elegy just doesn't grab me, not a bad album at all, I just feel like I'm not hearing what everyone else does. TFTTL is great but I didn't care much for Am Universum. I'm not knocking your opinion just when people mention loving Elegy I feel left out. :(
The coolest band, song, video, of all time
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 😗.
Go, look at the moon
And inspect the sun!
Now they are in the sky
Right in their old places
Anyone Still Hearing This Masterpiece In 2022 February?.
Christmas postponed to 11 Feb. 2022. Can't wait, this is fantastic.
My favorite band for literally decades. Musically they get better and better with age. What I appreciate is that their songs always have depth and are about something other than dating and breaking up- seriously, that's ALL top 40 pop songs are about. Can't wait to see them again live. Please COVID. Don't be an asshole. Let us have Tuska this year.
Same.....loved em since Tales
And yes, their songs are definitely a different level. I've recently bought the Kalevela so I can reference it for themes while binging on Amorphis.
I wonder if the boys ever read these threads and see how much they are appreciated by us.
@@bn5202 I did the same thing! I got the Kalevala on Audible and have been listening to it at bedtime. I got the Keith Bosely translation.
@@pookoos haha Amorphis influenced us to read more lol(I read a lot anyways....but so happy to have this..).I bought the physical copy ...John Martin Crawfords translation
United in metal worldwide
🤘💜🤘💜🤘💜🤘
This is so awesome....
The floating bass the catchy Keyboards..the great drums..the unique voice. The pully guitar riffs....wow..
The deepgoin lyrics...
The growls rly give me chills btw...and the vid fits perfectly same as the woman's voice in the end🤘💜🤘💜🤘💜🤘
Somehow it feels like this song is alrdy familiar to me...
Soul song. Like a Story that finally leads home.....😇 Thanks so much
🤘💜🤘💜🤘💜🤘
Beautiful video...the black looks great on my OLED. Great song! Amorphis never disappoints...
Been a fan for some years now... still amazing
Amorphis is back, ladies and gentlemen! 🖤🇫🇮
This song is soooo EPIC! Amorphis makes pure metal art!🤘😈👏👍
Fy faen så bra🤘🏻🎅🤘🏻
Perfectional, soulness, and nothing fantom meance. Amorphis like it is own...
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 hear a little of the previous albums but also some new. I'm convinced Amorphis can't make a bad song. Can't wait for the album.
Nobody can growl as better as Tomi. There, I said it
🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽I Love Amorphis 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
Beautiful song. Beautiful band.
Amorphis не умеет делать нешедевры, скорей бы февраль и релиз, и надеюсь концерт в Петербурге все таки будет.
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.
Aika kova🤘😎👍
Amorphis and Insomnium,,never an average song,,outstanding👏👏👏
I couldn't agree more as I love these 2 bands
DID YOU KNOW Finland has more metal bands per capita than any other country in the world?? And this band has been around longer than most of them! Perhaps the reason they've kept going so long is they still sound fresh and innovative. This tune for example is clearly Metal, but after that you're struggling to put it in a subgenre - there's all sorts in there! I went for Prog Metal in the end.
There's a lot to absorb in this sophisticated number, but a digestible consistent melody holds all the ingredients together. Definitely one for your metal playlist. My Score: Good 3*
Excellent as Always. Amorphis is a very good band ever. Another great album. Thanks guys, you rocks.
What a band!!
Мне кажется это абсолютно эмэйзинг и магнифисент! Аморфис держат планку 👌🤘
All 🖤from Germany. You were and are and will be the best 🤘🥃🤘hope to see you soon
Aaaaah....finally something to look forward to in the new year.
Amorphis at it's best! Outstanding mates.
Lovely song , amazing video , brilliant vocals , superb craftsmanship by Amorphis and team. 4 cheers from India
Ihan vitun hyvä. English:fuckin goood!!!!
Amorphis, музыка моей души! Для меня , одна из лучших групп. Музыка для серьезных чуств.👍
Stary jestem jak Amorphis..Podoba mi się.
I love atmospheric sound of amorphis. Finnish rock is interesting in many ways, no matter him rasmus nightwish apocalyptica children of bodom or amorphis
I forgot sentenced poisonblack and dark tranquillity, are they all finns, aren't they?
@@Igorr2010 Sentenced and PoisonBlack are Finns
Dark Tranquility are from Sweden.🙂
Stratovarius. Not "atmospheric" tho.
25 лет слушаю этих парней, но каждый раз ветром надувает глаза с первого прослушивания новых треков. Парни, приезжайте в Россию, как закончится все эти карантины. Обещаю, как 30 лет назад мы с друзьями прилетим на ваш концерт. И тогда только партер :)
лучше собраться на концерт в Финку. У них там бывают камерные концерты, очень здорово получается
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
Another monster of a album is cooking up nicely in the bowles of Amorphis. Can't wait! Hyvä Suomi perkele 🤟🤟
Can you make a bad song??? You never disapoint
Beautiful! Amorphis never disappoints.
Banda fodastica demais mais !! Album do dragao !!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Essa banda tem alguma falha? Se tem, eu desconheço! Perfeito demais!
Eles nunca decepciona! São maravilhosos!!
Eles saíram da Nuclear ? Os últimos álbuns foram lançados lá. E que bom que o álbum da bem perto de ser lançado, já logo em fevereiro, já enjoei de tanto que eu ouvi o último que lançaram em 2018 kkk.
