Chris Akin sits down with Tomi Koivusaari and Jan Rechberger of Amorphis! They're here to talk all about the band's brand new release, BORDERLAND, which (no surprise!) breaks new musical ground. They dive into how this fresh sound developed, how working with a new producer totally shifted their creative dynamic, and the album's powerful underlying theme: society sacrificing nature for greed.
