Amorphis Say New 'Under The Red Cloud' Album Is 'Tense'

(Prog) Amorphis have described upcoming album Under The Red Cloud as "uptempo" and "tense." The follow-up to 2013's Circle is due for release on September 4 via Nuclear Blast. And frontman Tomi Joutsen says it offers a musical development from their last title.

He tells Metal Wani: "Some of the people who've heard this album said it's more heavy. Vocal wise it's a little bit heavier than Circle. We only have 10 songs so it makes the album really solid - every song is tense."

Guitarist Esa Holopainen previously credited producer Jens Bogren for getting the most out of the band in the studio. He says: "It's definitely much more uptempo than some of the previous albums. That's one of the things Jens wanted us to do."

He admits: "It felt a bit silly at first - but later it felt really natural. I'm really happy that he did it because there's some catchy things there." Read more and watch the video clip here.
