Finnish metal legends Amorphis recently put out an incredibly successful new album ‘Halo,‘ earlier this year, which hit number one on the Finnish charts and number three on the German charts. The album was released via Atomic Fire Records and has been making a lot of noise on stage in a live setting since. Today the band are announcing that they’re going to be having some additional dates to their 2022 European Co headline tour alongside Folk Metal Icons Eluveitie which will be taking place in Switzerland, Spain, Finland, Austria, and as well as Czechia.
While we’re right in the middle of the summer festival season, the fall/winter touring legs are where thing are truly going to heat up as the bands are also announcing that Dark Tranquility and German melodic doom outfit Nailed to Obscurity are going to be accompanying them as special guest in November and December.
AMORPHIS guitarist Esa Holopainen comments:
“We’re happy to announce the remaining shows of our European co-headlining tour with ELUVEITIE. Both bands have shared the same stages at festivals in the past and it’s a great pleasure to do a whole tour together now. ELUVEITIE founder Chrigel Glanzmann has even played on our »Under The Red Cloud« and »Queen Of Time« albums, so the musical bondage is absolutely perfect. After our friends from DARK TRANQUILLITY and NAILED TO OBSCURITY have been confirmed for this tour, it’s needless to say that this line-up is beyond epic. Get yer tickets, folks!”
ELUVEITIE front-man Chrigel adds:
“It hasn’t exactly become lighter in this world lately. Nonetheless, there are still pleasant and joyful news: we can’t wait to finally start touring again after more than two really weird years. It almost feels unreal! As if this wasn’t enough, we’re super stoked to announce the complete line-up for this tour which is definitely one of the coolest packages of our entire career. Being on the road together with dear friends and some of our personal all-time favourite bands: that’s really just more than I expected – we can’t wait to see you all again!”
DARK TRANQUILLITY’s Mikael Stanne:
“We are super excited to announce that we will be going out on the road together with our friends AMORPHIS, ELUVEITIE and NAILED TO OBSCURITY this winter. To tour such an amazing package will be the perfect cure for the winter blues. You will not want to miss this! See you out there!”
NAILED TO OBSCURITY conclude,
“After having played shows in the US and a few also in Europe earlier this year already, we are hungrier than ever to get back on the road as soon as possible. We are super stoked that it will even be in this same year that we get the chance to return to the European stages – and what hell of a line-up that is! We are honored to be a part of this and can’t wait to meet all the amazing people and friends from the other bands and crews and everyone out there who is going to come out to enjoy this fantastic tour package. See you all soon!”
