Finnish masters of melancholic metal AMORPHIS will release their new album, “Under The Red Cloud”, on September 4 via Nuclear Blast.

States AMOPRHIS guitarist Esa Holopainen: “The album is titled ‘Under The Red Cloud’and the artwork is done by Valnoir Mortasonge. Valnoir is well known from his works forLAIBACH, PARADISE LOST, WATAIN, BEHEMOTH and many more. It was a great pleasure to work with him as he [captured] the lyrical topics really well. Colors and details describe the music perfectly.”

He continues: “‘Under The Red Cloud’ is produced by Jens Bogren, who did amazing job with the album. There’s a lot’s of elements in the songs but every note and element is in perfect harmony so that the result is fucking heavy and melodic.
