Amorphis and Reigning Phoenix Music are excited to present “Crowned In Crimson”, which also serves as the main theme song for the upcoming action feature “Son Of Revenge – The Story Of Kalevala”, premiering in Finland on January 16. Stream the song here, and watch the music video, directed by Antti Jokinen, below.
This is a striking father–daughter vocal collaboration between Tomi Joutsen and his daughter Iida. The lyrics, penned by long-time collaborator Artist Pekka Kainulainen, bring the tragic hero Kullervo to life with vivid emotion and mythic weight.
Esa Holopainen comments: “Director Antti Jokinen got in touch with us and briefly told us about his ambitious film project. We arranged a meeting with him, during which we were able to see visual material from the film and go through the script. Antti hoped that Amorphis would create the film’s theme song — a project we agreed to immediately.”
Director Antti Jokinen (ReelMedia Oy, Leffat) comments: “Amorphis’ music feels like strength wrapped in beauty – heavy enough to shake the landscape, yet poetic. Their music really lifts my spirit into the world of Kalevala myths and its characters. Exactly what I was looking for, when thinking about the theme song for my film. I’m very pleased they agreed to do it.“
