This is going to be so awesome. The song is not as good as The Bee (that would be tough anyway because The Bee is song of the year so far), but still great.

I actually rate this song higher than The Bee. For a pretty straightforward hard rock track it has some fresh arrangement ideas, and combined with a chorus like that it's their best "light" song in a long time.

I love the melody but it lacks some harshness. It sounds like radio friendly Amorphis. Not saying that is good or bad, just needs some more kick in my opinion.

Ah the ubiquitous "radio single" song! One of the better ones in that category too, sounds like. Good job

The drone footage is from Norway and Finland.

The song itself is decent.

Was it present around "Elegy" and "Tuonela" too? Cause those are the last albums I heard from them (also years ago) and last I like.

Well fair enough there. But no cant say he did use that microphone then since he wasnt a member yet. I havent any idea what he used before joining amorohis to be honest. Lol.
