Having a long history as a songwriter himself, it’s been AMORPHIS bassist Olli-Pekka “Oppu” Laine’s dream since his early youth to dive deep into a pool of musical influences and to melt them into what has now culminated in his new band OCTOPLOID. Their debut work entitled »Beyond The Aeons« will be presented to the world on July 5, 2024 through Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM), and add another colourful dash to the company’s arising label picture. OCTOPLOID are: Mikko Kotamäki | vocals (live) Peter Salonen | guitars Kim Rantala | keyboards Olli-Pekka Laine | bass, keyboards, backing vocals Mikko Pietinen | drums, percussion
