"Under the Red Cloud" is the twelfth studio album by Finnish masters of Melancholic Metal, Amorphis, released worldwide through Nuclear Blast. Cryptic Rock reviewed the album, finding that it had more of a focus on melody than the previous album, and it had a wider variety of instruments, which was more in line with the band's pre-2012 work. "The Four Wise Ones" was described as an "instant classic" song, "pure melodic death metal at its finest." Cryptic Rock also saw songs that were heavy metal, folk metal and rock ballads.
