October
21 - Jack The Rooster - Tampere, Finland (as part of Lost In Music Expo)November
11 - On The Rocks - Helsinki, FinlandMore shows will be announced shortly.
Amoral are streaming another new song from their upcoming fifth album, Beneath. The new song, '(Won't Go) Home', with it's riff-oriented structure and growling vocals, represents the heavier side of the new album.
'(Won't Go) Home', as well as the previously released song, 'Same Difference', can be heard below:
Beneath was recorded at Sound Supreme studios in Hämeenlinna, Finland, and was produced by Janne Saksa and guitarist Ben Varon.
"I'd describe the album as 'three steps forward, one step back'", says Varon. "There are several nods to our past in form of long songs, intricate riffs and growling vocals. But the main focus is still on the strong melodies, big choruses and catchy riffs, just as was on our last album, Show Your Colors."
Beneath marks the first time new guitarist Masi Hukari has recorded with the band. Hukari - who joined the group late in the songwriting process - immediately wrote two songs together with Varon, both which ended on the album. Another first is that, from now on, Amoral has two lead guitar players.
"Masi is such a talent, it would have been a crime to make him 'just' the rhythm guitarist. It's been killer to be able to do lead trade-off for the first time in the band's history, for example. Masi is responsible for many of the guitar highlights of the album", Ben declares.
The band documented the recording of Beneath in their studio blog, which was updated daily during the session. You can read the blog here.
