Amorphis ignites festival flame with ‘The Lantern’ live video

Finnish metal legends Amorphis have shared the official video for “The Lantern“, a centerpiece of their critically discussed fifteenth studio album “Borderland”, out since September 2025 via RPM. Borderland marks a milestone in the band’s 35‑year evolution, blending melodic depth and dynamic storytelling with a refreshed creative spark borne from their first collaboration with producer Jacob Hansen. 

Drawing its imagery from mythic currents and nocturnal wanderers, “The Lantern” captures the haunting journey along Tuonela’s black river.

“The atmosphere on The Lantern is dramatic and evocative,” says guitarist Esa Holopainen. “From sonic depth to live energy, you can hear the emotional arcs and see them on stage in every frame.” The live footage underscores that cinematic pulse, transforming raw performance into a visual odyssey.

Borderland has drawn attention from press worldwide for its melodic sensibilities and textural richness, with critics noting a potent blend of Amorphis’ trademark atmospherics and a renewed clarity in songwriting.
