Amorphis have premiered a new video for their new song “Crowned In Crimson.” The track, which features frontman Tomi Joutsen’s daughter Iida, was recorded as the theme for a new action movie called “Son Of Revenge – The Story Of Kalevala.” That film will debut in Finland on January 16.

Guitarist Esa Holopainen commented:

“Director Antti Jokinen got in touch with us and briefly told us about his ambitious film project. We arranged a meeting with him, during which we were able to see visual material from the film and go through the script. Antti hoped that Amorphis would create the film’s theme song — a project we agreed to immediately.”

Director Antti Jokinen added:

“Amorphis’ music feels like strength wrapped in beauty — heavy enough to shake the landscape, yet poetic. Their music really lifts my spirit into the world of Kalevala myths and its characters. Exactly what I was looking for, when thinking about the theme song for my film. I’m very pleased they agreed to do it.”
