Octoploid share ‘Monotony’ single and an official video; first 2025 headline tour dates announced

Octoploid, the band founded by Amorphis bass player Olli-Pekka “Oppu” Laine, share the official video for their new single ‘Monotony,’ previously available only as bonus track on the physical versions of their acclaimed debut album “Beyond The Aeons,” which was released on July 5, 2024 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).

‘Monotony‘ is a ruthless blend of stoner rock, death metal, and psychedelic prog rock. Its fragile melodic chorus is followed by a brutal death command – a combination that usually does the trick. The song’s lyrics are written from the perspective of a production animal, making it a sister song to the first single ‘Human Amoral [feat. Tomi Joutsen]‘ and not exactly a eulogy for a human being.

With ‘Monotony,’ I aimed to incorporate as much variety as possible. Musically, it represents creative freedom and stepping out of the comfort zone – which makes for an exciting, challenging listen!
