AMORPHIS have unveiled the tracklist and artwork for 12th album Under The Red Cloud, which will be released on September 4 via Nuclear Blast.

And guitarist Esa Holopainen describes the 10-track follow-up to 2013’s Circle as “in my personal top three of albums we’ve ever done.”

He adds: “Under The Red Cloud is produced by Jens Bogren, who did amazing job. There are lots of elements in the songs but every note and element is in perfect harmony so – the result is fucking heavy and melodic.”

And he says of Valnoir Mortasonge’s sleeve design: “It was a great pleasure to work with him as he caught the lyrical topics really well. His colours and details describe the music perfectly.”

Under The Red Cloud is available for pre-order now. AMORPHIS are on tour in Europe to mark the 20th anniversary of classic album Tales From The Thousand Lakes, before joining NIghtwish’s European tour. They play in Burgas, Bulgaria, today.
