AMORPHIS Releases Crushing Second Single Bones From Upcoming Album Borderland

AMORPHIS have released their new single "Bones," a powerful preview of their upcoming album Borderland, set for release on September 26, 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music. In contrast to the album's first single, "Light And Shadow," which showcased a more uplifting tone, "Bones" dives into darker, heavier territory. Emerging from the mythical depths of Finland's thousand lakes, the track delivers thunderous riffs and Eastern-tinged strings and keys, creating a dense, textured soundscape. Despite its intensity, the song allows space for moments of hope, culminating in a cathartic chorus driven by Tomi Joutsen's soaring clean vocals. Lyrically, "Bones" reflects the struggle for survival faced by Finland's ancestors, adding depth and weight to its sonic force.

"As a starting point, I wanted to prove that even a keyboard player can create an AMORPHIS song which is based on a heavy riff, and to everyone's surprise, 'Bones' turned out to be the heaviest "Borderland" song," reveals keyboardist Santeri Kallio.

"Bones" also arrives with the first music video from Borderland, directed by Patric Ullaeus, who has previously helmed several AMORPHIS videos including 'The Moon' and 'Wanderer.' Known for his cinematic style, Ullaeus has also worked with other major names in the metal scene such as IN FLAMES, ARCH ENEMY, PRIMAL FEAR, and many more.

Hansen Studios (Jacob Hansen, Denmark; VOLBEAT, AMARANTHE, PRIMAL FEAR etc.) 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, ALCEST etc.) while long-time partner Pekka Kainulainen once again wrote the album's meaningful lyrics.
