Amorphis’ “Halo” goes gold on the band’s way to “Borderland”

Author Benedetta Baldin - 4.9.2025

Invited to Helsinki’s Sonic Pump Studios under a pretext, Finnish metal icons Amorphis have been decorated with gold records for sales of their 2022 studio album “Halo” by their label partners Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM). The band’s management, distribution and media partners gathered secretly earlier this week to witness the handover of the awards at the iconic Finnish recording studio, where the sextet crafted a number of much-loved albums over the years and even parts of “Halo.” Still being busy with interviews to support their forthcoming offering “Borderland,” due out on September 26, 2025, as well as tour preparations, Amorphis were pleasantly surprised when the shiny vinyls were presented to them.

Guitarist Esa Holopainen states:

Achieving a gold record is far from being guaranteed in these days. We’re truly grateful to all listeners and fans who supported us along the way. “Halo” wasn’t an easy album to make as the corona virus was challenging the world. Some parts of its production had to be done remotely, while at other times we were actually allowed to travel to our beloved neighbouring country Sweden. “Halo” also isn’t the easiest album of the AMORPHIS catalogue, but it certainly has its special moments which will live on through people’s sound systems and our live shows.

Originally released on February 11, 2022, Amorphis managed to hit the top of the official album chart in their home country for the sixth time in their eventful career with “Halo.” Many other notable global entries (Germany #3, Switzerland #4, Austria #7) completed this enormously successful launch under complicated circumstances.

Followed by a Finnish headline run and a European arena tour alongside Arch Enemy, Eluveitie and Gatecreeper, the group’s new album will become available in late September.
