Amorphis release new song ‘The Bee’

AMORPHIS have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled The Bee, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album Queen of Time which is scheduled to be released in May this year. Speaking about the new song, guitarist Esa Holopainen says, “this song is a very powerful opener and gives a nice picture of what the whole album is all about. You can already hear some new elements like choirs and orchestral arrangements in it.” Vocalist Tomi Joutsen adds, “of course, the lyrical inspiration is a bee, also in a metaphoric way. The tiniest thing can sometimes be the most important thing. A bee can bring life or if we destroy all the bees, life will stop here. It’s a very beautiful animal, that’s why you can find it on the album cover too. The track itself is a kind of progressive and I’m sure that it will surprise some fans in a positive way. We love it!”
