Founded in 1990 in Helsinki, Finland, Amorphis have carved themselves a unique niche over the last 20 years. From their last really extreme album Tales of the Thousand Lakes through `96's genre-defying Elegy and beyond, the band continue to challenge conceptions and have grown into a well-respected and unconventional powerhouse. Even after two decades in the game, successful melancholic dark rock/metal masters Amorphis still manage to surprise, delight and impress. With their tenth studio album, The Beginning of Times, these Finns prove once more that they have no equal when it comes to amazing, natural sounding melodies, deep emotions and a unique sonic darkness. Amorphis took the power of their earlier albums and injected The Beginning... with a massive dose of heavy - the perfect mixture between new and old, dark and light, good and evil.

AMORPHIS SKYFORGER

2007 album from the Finnish Metal band. Silent Waters tells the story of Kalevala hero Lemmink„inen, based on an original cycle of fourteen poems crafted in Finnish by Pekka Kainulainen. The English translations were done by Erkki Virta. 11 tracks. Nuclear Blast.

Mixing metal roots and their love for classic rock and Finnish folklore, the band have created their own distinct sound composed of intoxicating melodies and aggressive soundscapes and have accrued a highly loyal U.S. fan base in the process. With a new singer, the band have evolved in true AMORPHIS fashion, taking one step back, two steps forward and one step sideways, delivering Eclipse, a potent concoction best described as Tales From The Thousand Lakes meets Elegy meets Far From The Sun. It will surely please old fans and spread their name and music to an exponential amount of new ears and fan bases. Old fans, I have four words for you...Death Growls Are Back! Nuclear Blast. 2006.
