Finnish metal veterans Amorphis continue to evolve without losing their identity, guitarist Tomi Koivusaari explains in a candid interview about creativity, risk, and returning to Australia.
Balancing a 15-album catalogue and passionate fan expectations, the band still approaches setlists and songwriting with fresh intent. Koivusaari describes an instinctive, cinematic writing process shaped by nature and mood rather than rigid plans. He admits the band once lost direction experimenting, but sees that era as essential growth that ultimately defined their sound.
With multiple members contributing ideas, producers now help shape each album’s final form. As they prepare to return to Australian stages, Koivusaari promises a career-spanning set and a tighter, more confident live experience. Despite decades in the industry, he remains driven to improve and explore.
