Amorphis announce new live album ‘Live At Helsinki Ice Hall’

AMORPHIS have announced a new live album!

Titled Live At Helsinki Ice Hall, the upcoming album from the Finnish melodic death metal band was recorded during a special hometown show that took place on December 7th, 2019 and little did the Finns know that this would be one of their last concerts before the pandemic outbreak in early 2020. The live album is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.

“Helsinki Ice Hall, what can I say… the very same venue where we used to see bands like DEEP PURPLE, IRON MAIDEN, METALLCIA and many many more back in the 80s when we were kids,” Tomi Koivusaari contemplates when thinking of the show. “I’m sure we all dreamed about playing there someday. In our hometown Helsinki, where it all started with AMORPHIS 30 years ago. So I’d say we had a special feeling at that gig, the last one of the tour in Finland for that year. I guess this recording is a very honest picture of us playing live, nothing is fixed afterwards, except mightily mixed and mastered of course. When I listened to it a while ago, I realized how much I miss playing live. And yet we have no idea when it will be possible next, in this crazy situation with COVID and all… So, stay healthy, take care and shine on you all, see you hopefully soon on tour. We will.”

Alongside the announcement of the new live album, the band have released a new live song from the upcoming release; Daughter Of Hate.
