Tomi Joutsen (vocalist) and Santeri Kallio (keyboardist and songwriter) from Amorphis shared insights about their upcoming album, Borderland. They explored the album’s themes, the influence of Finnish mythology and the Kalevala, and addressed whether current affairs, social, or political tensions shaped its narrative. The conversation also touched on the Pasi Koskinen era, which marked a shift from the band’s early 1990s death metal roots, as well as lineup stability and various other topics.
