Amorphis

[Draehl]

Been listening to Elegy in my truck for the past 2 weeks. They really are quite amazing. Their newer stuff isn't quite as spectacular, but even it's listenable.

Either way, they're one of the other bands who really can pull off the growl + clean vocals combo as well as Opeth. They're definitely less aggressive and heavy than Opeth, but they certainly have their own unique sound. I really need to buy Tales from the Thousand Lakes next as from my MP3 samplings it's definitely their second best.

I have Tales from the Thousand Lakes, but nothing really stands out to me...maybe I should give it another spin.

Fixed.

 

[i aint play this]

Never liked anything by this band and thought that the last albums were especially awful.

 

[hibernal_dream]

Well, they're not jaw-dropping but it's probably the best thing Finland has put out since Sibelius.

Amazing band, love every release and the last 2 albums were the return of a pioneer scandinavian metal band, not as good as Elegy but close... Definetly give Silent Water and Eclipse a try. Tomi Joutsen the new vocalist is excellent combo singer with some mean growls and powerful clean singing.

 

[outerone]

Elegy changed my life though, not much can ever beat that album... for me...

Tales from the Thousand Lakes is a good example of an album that was probably amazing when it was new but sounds like ass now that it doesn't sound fresh and you realize that the clean singer sounds like a gnome with bowel cancer. Elegy and Tuonela are good though.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

i like a bunch of songs from them, but theres not a whole album i can listen to

 

[Jester-Race]

I personally prefer their newer work compared to the old, I think Eclipse is magnificient.

Rapture is the best band from Finland.

Amorphis, back in 1995 put a unique sound together for "death" metal. Obviously, not to everyone's taste. It is what it is. You either like it or you don't. "Elegy" is a fantastic album, one of my all-time favorites. TFTTL is a decent album, nothing more and notheing less. "Silent Water" and "Eclipse" are strong albums. Amorphis are an important band for me.

Their first two albums are pretty amazing yeah. Havne't really listened to silent stage. But obv they don't come close to NIGHTWISH!

 

[heather_opeth]

Nightshit

btw, you really should listen to Silent Stage. It's just as great as the other ones.

Amorphis, and the Elegy album in particular, is the band that got me into metal. I only found Opeth after trying to find more bands like Amorphis.

 

[opeth8]

I just listened to Thousand Lakes. 1st time in a long time.
Black Winter Day is the song that got me hooked on them. Still really like the album.
Elegy is their best.
Great 90's Cock Rock !!

Don't really care for the rest of their work.

 

[Ecto]

one of those few bands that have their own sound and you recoganize immediately

I found Silent Waters to be on the whole, boring. Elegy, Tuonella, and Eclipse are badass additions to their catalog though.
