Amorphis - Unveil New Album Artwork And Tracklist
After taking us through the concept, Finnish melodic metallers Amorphis have just unveiled the cover artwork for their forthcoming album Circle, which was designed by Tom Bates. The band also shared the new album's tracklist containing nine tracks plus a bonus one.
Vocalist Tomi Joutsen comments on the cover artwork, created by Tom Bates (Bleed From Within, Devil Sold His Soul): "The mystic, androgynous person on the cover represents a spiritual guide. This character was sent from another time and place to help the album's protagonist find a new path for his life."
Circle will be available on CD on April 19th (Europe) and April 30th (North America), 2013 (without bonus track), black 2LP in gatefold, brown 2LP in gatefold and as a bulging ltd. box, including 3 bonus tracks + a wristband - exclusively available via the Nuclear Blast mail order.
Circle tracklist:
01. Shades Of Gray
02. Mission
03. The Wanderer
04. Narrow Path
05. Hopeless Days
06. Nightbird's Song
07. Into The Abyss
08. Enchanted By The Moon
09. A New Day
10. Dead Man's Dream [bonus track]
The album's ltd. digi book version will come with a bonus DVD, including:
- The Making Of Circle
- Nightbird's Song (video clip)

Shades of Gray??? Seriously??? It reminds me, when Swallow The Sun released New Moon at the time, when Twilight was on top.

That cover is kinda weird, but not bad... Tracklist a bit generic, and the first track makes me just think wtf... Is this supposed to be related to the porn-like books or Dorian Gray? I hope the latter one, but would also be kinda generic.

So they are becoming Baroness? And some really lame song titles, my god.

I like the artwork even if it doens't really fit Amorphis. Really excited, Amorphis with Joutsen hasn't dissapointed me yet.

Hmm very weird and different cover to say the least. But what matters is the content, and I'm confident about it. Their studio report videos showed some nice riffs.

Judging an album by songtitles and cover art...You guys always crack me up. Their last album was a really good one, hope it's as good!

Unexpected cover art, but that doesn't really play an important role. I'm sure it won't disappoint, riffs from the studio videos sound very promising

Written by Winterthrone on 24.01.2013 at 22:15 I have realised that people on this site always complaining about, that something is disappointing or does not fit for the expectaions.. quite boring, so you are right man.
