Amorphis have premiered a new video for their song “The Lantern.” That track is from the band’s latest album “Borderland.” Guitarist Esa Holopainen said the following about the single:

“The song has a strong atmosphere and cinematic storytelling. It plays with classic elements, and you might even catch influences from Vangelis. Tomi Joutsen did an incredible job throughout the whole album, and on ‘The Lantern’ you can really hear how the vocals beautifully carry the song’s dramatic arc. The working title was ‘Jore’, which doesn’t really say anything about the track itself. But those who know, know. The atmosphere on ‘The Lantern’ is dramatic and evocative. From sonic depth to live energy, you can hear the emotional arcs and see them on stage in every frame.”
