Finnish metallers Amorphis are preparing new treasures, that is, a brand new album. After they announced that they are working on new music, the group now gives an update on the process. The follow-up to Under The Red Cloud is expected this year.

The pre-production process is already done and most of the recordings have been finished. But this time, the band didn't rush at all and took their time to focus on details so there will also be some really amazing surprises: additional recordings with real strings and flutes, as well as orchestra arrangements and choirs! In addition, this is the first time that people will be able to hear their lyricist Pekka Kainulainen on the album as he contributes a speech in Finnish.

Jens Bogren (Opeth, Amon Amarth, Katatonia, and many others) will be once again the producer of the upcoming album. More details to be announced soon, so stay tuned!
