Description

Double album on gold vinyls with booklet and gatefold cover

Borderland is Amorphis 2025 album and the first to be produced in collaboration with Danish producer Jacob Hansen. Esa Holopainen says; We have made three amazing records at Jens Bogren’s studio. During the planning phase of the project, we strongly felt that it was time to explore something new and see what working with a different producer might bring to the table. Amorphis has a very distinctive sound and our own way of making music. Having six strong personalities in the band naturally brings its own challenges to the production process, especially for the producer. Jacob was chosen for a couple of key reasons: he has worked with an impressively diverse range of artists, and he’s an incredibly calm, creative, and idea-driven producer. Once again, the lyrics were written by Pekka Kainulainen, and he describes the themes and topics of the album as follows: The generations that came before us, our ancestors, also had to face death and destruction. Honoring the mythologies of mankind, as well as the listeners of Amorphis, I wrote lyrics that hopefully convey some of the humility and strength that mankind has always depended on.
