Amorphis set to record new album

Finnish progressive metal band Amorphis is currently working on their next studio album and follow-up to 2015's Under the Red Cloud. Pre-production has been completed and the effort will once again be produced by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Amon Amarth). Here's the official word:

"Today, there is some good news for all fans of Amorphis: The band is currently working on a new studio album! The pre-production process is already done and most of the recordings have been finished. But this time, the band didn't rush at all and took their time to focus on details so there will also be some really amazing surprises: additional recordings with real strings and flutes, as well as orchestra arrangements and choirs! In addition, this is the first time that people will be able to hear their lyricist Pekka Kainulainen on the album as he contributes a speech in Finnish!"
