Amorphis Premiere New Music Video For "The Lantern"

A new music video for “The Lantern” by veteran Finnish progressive metal band Amorphis has been released online. The visuals were directed by Patrik Skoglöw. The track appears on the group’s 15th studio album “Borderland,” which was released last year.

Reflecting on the song, lead guitarist Esa Holopainen shared his thoughts on the track, also revealing that it had a different working title during its early development:

“The song has a strong atmosphere and cinematic storytelling. It plays with classic elements, and you might even catch influences from Vangelis. Tomi Joutsen did an incredible job throughout the whole album, and on ‘The Lantern‘ you can really hear how the vocals beautifully carry the song’s dramatic arc. The working title was ‘Jore,’ which doesn’t really say anything about the track itself. But those who know, know.”
