Finland's AMORAL released their fifth album, Beneath, on October 19th in Japan via Marquee Avalon. The album was released on October 26th in Europe via Imperial Cassette.

Beneath will be released in North America on February 14th, 2012 via The End Records. The North American version will include one original bonus track, 'Sleeping With Strangers'.

"Not only are we thrilled to get Beneath released in the States through a dedicated label, but we're also really happy that 'Sleeping With Strangers' will be released after all, as we really like the song. And let's face it, Americans sure deserve a little bonus for these few extra months of waiting!", guitarist Ben Varon says.

Beneath was recorded at Sound Supreme studios in Hämeenlinna, Finland, and was produced by Janne Saksa and guitarist Ben Varon. The album comes equipped with a stunning 18-page poster booklet (made by Spanish artist Marta Nael), expanding the cover artwork into all its glory.

Another update from the band states: "The cat is out of the bag... The Helsinki show at On The Rocks on November 11th will be a very special one in many ways. In addition to us playing an extra long set (there will be no opening acts), we'll be honored to have a very special guest onstage with us. Drumroll please... Amoral's original singer, Niko Kalliojärvi, will join Ari onstage for the first time ever, for a few tender duets of old Amoral songs. Now, how freakin' cool is this?! It's been over three years since we last shared a stage with Niko, so I'd say it's about time to do this!

Join us at this historical event, this one is not to be missed! Tickets are already going fast (available at Tiketti), so get yours ASAP! We'll see you there!"
