Amorphis tuonela vinyl.
The name amorphis was derived from the word amorphous which means no determinate form or shape.
Doom metal prog rock.
Amorphis bring together contemporary rock music and an archaic yet likeable finnish character.
The growling vocals appear only a handful of times and are the only remnant of the old sound.
But tuonela does give the listener a similar feeling of the band that managed to transform a style born in the seclusive world of the metal underground into something valid for the evolution of modern heavy music.
The melodies are softer but emotions still run high.

Amorphis fourth release 1999 s tuonela finds the finnish metal titans leaving their death metal roots behind following their amazing third album 1996 s elegy which featured a very creative and eclectic blend of death metal progressive metal melodic death folk and psychedelic sounds and was also the first amorphis album to feature lead clean vocalist pasi koskinen and here on this.

Tuonela marked the first complete departure from amorphis death metal roots.
Where amorphis s previous album 1997 s phenomenal elegy found the band with one foot in progressive territory and the other in death metal tuonela is a bigger step into the more atmospheric progressive sound.
I am giving this album 4 stars only because the previous release to this the amazing elegy was a groundbreaker in terms of the integration of death doom metal with classic folky melodies.
