News - Amorphis Unveil Lyric Video Light And Shadow

Following the announcement of their 15th studio album Borderland, Finnish metal icons AMORPHIS release the first single from their forthcoming opus today. “Light And Shadow,” which can also be interpreted as a metaphor of the album title in the sense of counter-play between two parties close to each other, wins over listeners right away with an uplifting piano intro, enriched by an electronic sound tapestry. As the song unfolds, it transforms into a driving, mythic anthem of self-discovery, a powerful reminder of why AMORPHIS remain unrivalled in crafting melancholic majesty.

Santeri Kallio, who wrote the music, adds: “I threw my brain into the closet and went with the flow – without stressing about opinions. I didn’t want to repeat the old nor copy what we’ve already done before. When I heard Tomi’s final vocal parts, I realised that ‘Light And Shadow’ would be the perfect introduction to our new album!”

Arriving on September 26, 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music, the group’s new album Borderland can be pre-ordered in a wide range of formats and pre-saved here.
