Finnish metal titans AMORPHIS have revealed the official music video for “Crowned In Crimson”, a powerful new song written as the theme for the upcoming film Son of Revenge – The Story of Kalevala, set for release on January 16th, 2026. Deeply rooted in myth, atmosphere, and emotional weight, the track finds the band channeling the epic spirit of the Kalevala into a cinematic and commanding composition.
Songwriter and guitarist Esa Holopainen explains how the collaboration came to life: “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.” The result is a piece that feels inseparable from the film’s narrative and mythological foundation.
Musically, “Crowned In Crimson” balances crushing heaviness with sweeping melody, echoing the band’s long-standing ability to merge power and poetry. Its brooding intensity and epic scope serve as both a standalone AMORPHIS composition and a gateway into the mythic world portrayed on screen, reinforcing the band’s deep connection to Finnish folklore and storytelling.
Director Antti J. Jokinen praises the collaboration, stating: “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.” With “Crowned In Crimson”, AMORPHIS once again prove their music is timeless, cinematic, and inseparable from the myths that continue to inspire it.
