TNT also ask Tomi and Esa whether Amorphis have plans to tour Australia in 2026. Stay tuned to hear their answer! AMORPHIS ENTERS A NEW ERA WITH THEIR 15TH STUDIO ALBUM — BORDERLAND A groundbreaking and genre-defying heavy metal band, still featuring its original lineup (with a few exceptionally talented additions) and only growing stronger with time? It might sound like a fairytale — until you glance toward Finland. There you’ll find Amorphis. Since forming in Helsinki in 1990, the Finnish sextet has fearlessly explored musical frontiers — from raw death metal roots to melodic, progressive and folk-tinged heavy rock, and far beyond. At every turn, Amorphis has expanded musical and lyrical boundaries without compromising their artistic identity. Now, after an unrelenting 35-year journey, Amorphis — guitarists Esa Holopainen and Tomi Koivusaari, vocalist Tomi Joutsen, keyboardist Santeri Kallio, bassist Olli-Pekka Laine, and drummer Jan Rechberger — stands on the cusp of a compelling new chapter: welcome to the captivating realm of Borderland. Amorphis' fifteenth studio album marks both a continuation and reinvention of the band’s legacy. With acclaimed Danish producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Arch Enemy, Amaranthe) at the helm for the first time and a revitalized creative spark within the group, Borderland sees Amorphis fully embracing their melodic sensibilities while venturing into fresh, uncharted sonic landscapes.
