AMORPHIS Gives Insight Into The Guitar And Bass Recordings Of Halo In Third Studio Documentary Episode

 

In less than a month, Halo, the new chef d'oeuvre from Finland's melancholic progressive metal masters AMORPHIS, will finally be available via Atomic Fire, and in a few days, the band will reveal another single. Today however, the band provides another look behind the scenes of the recording with Jens Bogren and how the guitar and bass tracks were produced.

Guitarist Esa Holopainen comments, "First I thought it would be a pretty natural continuation to Queen Of Time, but now as we heard the album, it definitely has a different touch in there. If I listen to the songs now, I think it's slightly heavier in some parts - much heavier! - but it still has all those AMORPHIS elements in there. But I guess it will surprise people."

Halo — which features artwork by Valnoir (Alcest, Paradise Lost) — was recorded, produced, and mixed by Jens Bogren (Fascination Street Studios) while mastering duties were handled by Tony Lindgren.

 

Halo will be available on CD, vinyl, and digital formats, as well as a special boxset (includes 2xLP, Live In Europe 2018-2019 bonus CD, flag, slipmat, and button) on February 11th. Preorder the album physically, presave it, or preorder it digitally to receive “The Moon” instantly now HERE.
