01.07.2010 - Amoral featured band of July on the Finnish Underground Radio

Finnish Underground Radio has chosen Amoral to be the featured band of July. Check out more from their website, and tune in for some good music!

23.06.2010 - Final show of 2010 announced

The very first show we played after recording Show Your Colors was a secret gig at Helsinki's On the Rocks. This show  (played under the moniker Gold Johnson Big Band) was also the very first time we played live with Ari. So what better way to wrap up the touring for SYC than to return to that very same place for one more show before we start concentrating on putting the finishing touches to the new material! This gig on saturday, October 23rd is gonna be a special "an evening with" -party, as we're gonna fuck around with the setlist a lot, with unusual tunes from our back catalogue, as well as throwing in some odd cover songs. And who knows, you just might hear some new material for the very first time...

So, mark your calendars: Amoral @ On the Rocks, Helsinki, saturday 23rd of October. See you there!

28.05.2010 - Update / Studio videos online

Hi guys,

as you might've noticed, it's been real quiet here in the past few months. We've been writing, rehearshing and recording demos of the new material that will eventually become Amoral studio album number five. There's been a nice, long break from gigs, so we've been able to fully concentrate on this, which also explains the lack of updates or news online.

So far, we have about 50% of the next album completely written and demo'd out, and we're really happy with what we're hearing. It's still gonna take a good while to complete writing the other half, figure out all the boring business side of things (new label etc) and actually record the album, so please be patient. We also have some shows to do during the summer, which slows the writing down a bit...

We've posted a couple of videos of us recording new songs, one with Juffi's beats and another with Ari's vocals. Sorry for the lack of new music heard, but we don't wanna get the riffs out there this early in the process, we'd rather keep it fresh for when the album is actually out.

Ok, see some of yous at the summer shows! Keep checking in for more updates, possible videos etc. Meanwhile, if you haven't already, join The Amoral Forum to chat with fellow Amoral friends and the band, and follow us on Twitter, where we try to post irrelevant bs every now and then.
