Amorphis Posts New Song "The Well" Online
Just one week before the kick-off of their long-awaited co-headline-tour with Eluveitie, AMORPHIS shroud you in more heavy riffs and timeless melodies by launching their brand new track 'The Well'! As part of the "Halo (Tour Edition)" digipak that is out today, this song was recorded during the band's latest studio session and is only available on this CD and digitally.
“'The Well' tells a story about an individual causing chaos and mayhem by breaking the principles of society. It is a timeless force phenomenon repeating itself in the history of time, a kind of natural force among the human kind”, vocalist Tomi Joutsen states. “The song itself is drawing some influences from the early scandinavian early black metal and classic oriental Amorphis vibes. This one is on the heavier side of the material recorded during the 'Halo' album sessions on 2021.”
Stream "The Well" or order the new "Halo (Tour Edition)" here.
Amorphis And Eluveitie Announce European Tour

On their latest studio release Halo, which once again hit the Finnish album charts on #1 and German charts on#3, the combo underline their trailblazing status as one of the most original, culturally relevant and rewarding acts ever to emerge from the land of the thousand lakes. With uncounted global tours under their belt and fourteen albums deep in their career, Amorphis still prove to be the musical fountain of youth, an extraordinary band constantly reinventing itself without abandoning its mystical roots.
Amorphis' guitarist Tomi Koivusaari adds: "Halo! We are thrilled to announce our co-headlining European tour with the mighty Eluveitie. We've just released our 14th album 'Halo' and we can't wait to play it and of course stuff from our whole career live for you. Don't miss this, there also might be some more pleasant surprises to the line up later on…"
Eluveitie founding member Chrigel Glanzmann comments on the upcoming tour:
"It hasn't exactly become lighter in this world lately. Nonetheless there is still pleasant and joyful news. We cannot wait to finally start touring again after more than two really weird years. It feels unreal almost!
"As if this isn't enough we're super stoked to announce the line-up of this tour - definitely one of the coolest tour line-ups in our entire career. Being on the road together with dear friends and some of our personal all-time favourite bands - that's really just more than I expected! We can't wait to see you all again!”
