Following an extensive co-headline tour with ELUVEITIE<\/strong> in Europe last year, Finnish metal icons AMORPHIS<\/strong> are ready to hit the road again visiting some cities and countries they didn’t at the end of 2022. Today, the band is proud to announce their \u00bbHalo European Tour 2023\u00ab<\/strong> alongside with Icelandic metal institution S\u00d3LSTAFIR<\/strong> as special guest and Finnish modern metallers LOST SOCIETY<\/strong> as opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMORPHIS<\/strong>‘s Esa Holopainen<\/strong> states:
“We are happy to announce the 2nd leg of the AMORPHIS <\/em>\u00bbHalo<\/em>\u00ab European tour which starts this October. This time we cover countries and cities where it was not possible for us to go last year. The tour line-up is absolutely great. We will bring along our Icelandic friends S\u00d3LSTAFIR and our country fellows LOST SOCIETY. Looking forward to see our beloved fans again across EU.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Icelandic metal cowboys S\u00d3LSTAFIR<\/strong> enthuse:
“Since our debut show in Helsinki back in 2004, we have had a great love relationship with Finland, and discovering AMORPHIS a decade before with their great <\/em>\u00bbTales From The Thousand Lakes<\/em>\u00ab album and watching them grow over the years, we are super pleased to hit the road with Finland’s finest metal act. This tour was written in the stars.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LOST SOCIETY<\/strong>‘s front-man Samy Elbanna <\/strong>concludes:
“It’s been a long time coming – and now we are finally able to announce that we’ll be joining our brothers in AMORPHIS on their huge European tour! We can’t wait to visit a lot of places we’ve never been to before and to bring our massive #IfTheSkyCameDown show to you ALL.<\/em>Get your tickets and prepare yourselves for LOST SOCIETY.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rock and metal music have always been a haven for those who have bigger stories to tell; who have grander emotions to convey. For more than thirty years, Finnish figureheads AMORPHIS <\/strong>have done their best to carve their very own niche in heartfelt yet aggressive, melancholic yet soothing tunes. On \u00bbHalo\u00ab <\/strong>(which charted on #1 of the Finnish and #3 of the German album chart), their staggering fourteenth studio effort, the Finns underline their trailblazing status as one of the most original, culturally relevant and rewarding acts ever to emerge from the land of the thousand lakes.

Thirty-one years after their inception, with uncounted global tours under their belt and fourteen albums deep in their career, AMORPHIS <\/strong>still prove to be the musical fountain of youth, an extraordinary band constantly reinventing itself without abandoning its mystical roots. With \u00bbHalo\u00ab<\/strong>, they delivered an astonishing album that deserves to be played everywhere, transcending the realms of metal and rock by its sheer profoundness and musicality.
