The Finnish prog metal veterans Amorphis are back with “Bones”, a powerful next glimpse at their new studio album Borderland, set to drop on September 26, 2025.
Unlike the first single “Light And Shadow,” which leaned more into a hopeful tone, “Bones” dives into darker, heavier territory. Lyrically, the song explores the struggles for survival faced by early Finns, supported by crushing riffs, Eastern-inspired strings, and thick layers of keyboards – creating a sound that’s both intense and atmospheric.
In the chorus, Tomi Joutsen’s clean, emotionally charged vocals cut through the darkness with flashes of light and hope.
Keyboardist Santeri Kallio shares:
“As a starting point, I wanted to prove that even a keyboard player can create an AMORPHIS song which is based on a heavy riff, and to everyone's surprise, ‘Bones’ turned out to be the heaviest “Borderland” song.”
