Introducing ‘Monotony’
Octoploid, the innovative band founded by Amorphis bassist Olli-Pekka “Oppu” Laine, has excited fans with the release of their new single, ‘Monotony.’ Previously a bonus track on their acclaimed debut album, ‘Beyond the Aeons,’ this single is now available with an official music video, enriching the band’s discography.
A Blend of Genres
‘Monotony’ offers a striking fusion of stoner rock, death metal, and psychedelic prog rock. The song begins with a fragile melodic chorus, which transitions into a powerful death command. This bold combination effectively captures the essence of Octoploid’s sound, showcasing their ability to craft poignant stories through intricate musical arrangements. The lyrics present a unique perspective, written from the viewpoint of a production animal, making it a companion piece to the previous single, ‘Human Amoral [feat. Tomi Joutsen].’
Upcoming Tour and Releases
Fans can also look forward to Octoploid’s debut tour in spring 2025. The confirmed initial dates include performances in Helsinki, Kuopio, and Oulu, with more shows to be announced later. To experience the remarkable sound of Octoploid, ‘Beyond the Aeons’ is available for ordering in various formats, including CD and eco-friendly marbled vinyl.
