In a recent interview with Loud TV, AMORPHIS keyboardist Santeri Kallio spoke about the progress of the songwriting process for the follow-up to 2022's "Halo" album. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I think everybody has done some songs in their home studios a little bit, but we haven't still collected those. And I think we start after the 'Halo' tour ends. We do a U. S. tour with DARK TRANQUILLITY in — I think it was September, it starts from ProgPower, the big festival in Atlanta. And after that, we stop [touring]. And I would say pretty much after the tour, we start collecting the material and sending them to the producer. I think that's [the identity of the producer] secret still, unfortunately. And then the producer can a little bit select the songs and give ideas. And then I would say in the end of the year, we probably have most of the instrumentation recorded already. And I think it's planned to come out maybe next year, fall or something like this, because it takes time to build up the promotion and make everything ready. But, to be honest, we don't the release date set, obviously. But I would say in the winter the album is made — it's recorded and mixed and mastered probably at the latest March, maybe already in February. It's still a little bit open for us."
