Amorphis present music video for swinging ‘Dancing Shadow’ single

With ‘Dancing Shadow,’ Finnish metal icons Amorphis are proud to present the final audiovisual appetiser of their new studio album “Borderland” (September 26, 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music) before their stage comeback in just a few weeks. The song follows two superbly embraced singles, and is yet another hit out of the group’s sound forge as it’s blessed with all ingredients to get at least equally well-received by the worldwide music community.

Thoughtful verses remind of the uncertain times in everyone’s lives to make fans escape from this dejecting state of mind into the suffusing light of the moon which shines through the darkest of all woods. But to contrast the song’s depth, Amorphis successfully crossed the genre ‘borderland’ resulting in an irresistible track full of twisting moments. ‘Dancing Shadow’ finally closes on its peak – before you just have to play it from the beginning over and over again.

The working title for ‘Dancing Shadow’ was ‘Disco Tiger.’ Musically it represents catchiness and hooks that have been familiar elements within our music for a long time. Sound-wise it came out pretty fresh and even modern. I bet this song will shake your legs on the dance floor – in a METAL disco, of course.

Esa Holopainen

Drummer Jan Rechberger adds:

With ‘Dancing Shadow,’ we stepped into completely new territory. For a band with over three decades behind us, that kind of reinvention feels meaningful.

Like its predecessor ‘Bones,’ Amorphis’ latest single has also been visualised under the aegis of  Patric Ullaeus, and takes fans of the band into a black-and-white dominated setting, highlighting the piece’s core message in a captivating way.

Hansen Studios (Jacob Hansen, Denmark; Volbeat, Amaranthe, Primal Fearetc.) were the destination of choice in late 2024 and early 2025 to track “Borderland.” The album artwork was designed by Dutch artist Marald Van Haasteren (Metallica, Black Sabbath, Kvelertak, Alcestetc.) while long-time partner Pekka Kainulainen once again wrote the album’s meaningful lyrics.
