My goodness. Not Swedish!! It's almost an insult thinking Finland is Sweden! :D and the stories comes from the Finnish epic Kalevala Ps:More Amorphis please! Brother and Sister, silent waters, daughter of hate, you i need, house of sleep...

More Amorphis:)))

[@DanasLilMakeup]

This song is easily in my top 5 of Amorphis repertoire, the lyrics are so powerful

[@deadliestassassin3092]

Flutes and whistles by Chrigel Glanzmann of Eluveitie. This band and Sentenced take me back to the mid 90's.

[@joshy_bish]

Never knew that. Cool 😊

[@The_Pony]

I love this song. Most people don't know that Amorphis was one band I fell in love with when I was 19 or 20, and finally I got to see them live with Delain and Anneke Van Giersbergen in October. Great pick, Kai.

[@SefniAsheforr]

Same man, saw that tour in Colorado. Badass show. Of course, Amorphis was the highlight for me.

[@The_Pony]

@@SefniAsheforr awesome!! Did you enjoy yourself?? That setlist was an absolute dream for a long time fan, for sure! They also KILLED IT. (Same to be said for Delain had Anneke though! Everyone was on fire that night) 😍 I had made it because I was gifted VIP, (after seeing Sabaton only the weekend before I didn't have the cash to do both.) when the call came asking me to take a ticket for that show and help Kel (Kel n Rich) interview Charolette and Joey of Delain. Unfortunately not much time to meet the others for more than a photo, and admittedly I had my first ever fangirl experience meeting Anneke (I don't typically fangirl). But due to our misunderstanding on time, we barely made it for the photos and luckily we were amoung the last in line so we lucked out with getting to have a bit of conversation with everyone afterwards but ngl Amorphis seemed a tad standoffish (which I know is quite a trait of Finnish people so I didn't take it to heart) but it made me nervous which was also odd for me. They were still very sweet though. and I got way too nervous to say anything much to them at all, especially because I had just hugged Anneke LOL. Please I'd love to hear your recount on your show?!

[@brendo9672]

Never seen Amorphis :( Been a fan since the 90s

[@ominouslybakedart1974]

I love that doing this turned you both into metalheads. Welcome to our joy and peace, and home for us. This music gets a lot of us through our worst times, and also empowers us in ways, that not any one person or deity could ever offer us. It helps us connect with people from all over, and make bonds that are very strong. :)

[@danielbeotich1664]

Its also turned them into money hungry swamp monsters

[@toddenderby5583]

Let me tell u how this song was live..1st Tomis hair was in my wife's face..(which she loved) they had not played in Cleveland in 9 years so high expectations were there, and let me tell u the lines stretched around the block and they had to cut people off as it was full to capacity, the crowd erupted when they hit stage with this song..2 hours these 30 year vets blew our minds,we never left front row once..kick ass band

[@peeweewallabowski7084]

Thank you Kai!

[@ChrisPage68]

They're supporting Nightwish on their tour next year. Their music is heavily influenced by an epic Finnish poem, The Kalevala.

[@The_Pony]

Hey my favorite Monster! Didn't expect to see you in the comments around these parts LOL 😍

[@ig3720]

c'moon. Still no "The Bee".... This is ridiculous!!

[@diego_meira]

Fun fact: the flute in this track was played by Chrigel Glanzmann, from Eluveitie. And if you guys think the singles are good as hell, wait till you listen to their other tracks, like White Night, Into the Abyss, or Mermaid. That'll make your minds blow.

[@Idefixu]

I can tell you Amorphis is fantastic live. I saw Amorphis last week 3 nights in a row. 30 years of Amorphis anniversary gigs. They played material from one particular decade each night. "Death of a King" was the 2nd last song the 1st night. "Bad Blood" stood out to me, great clean vocals by Tomi Joutsen on that one. (Joutsen is the Finnish for a swan.)

[@voyagerabove4034]

To me the song is about being judged for your actions when you die. That's what's meant by weighing your crown. Kind of like how Anubis weighs hearts in Egyptian mythology. We all die, and it's at that moment that we are judged. And this king is judged by the weight of his crown.

[@VinAndSori]

Whoa!!

[@ProtoLolZz]

Tomi Joutsen is easily the most underrated lead singer in all of metal, the thing is he sounds almost identical live and they have been going for 30 years now.

[@Giftick1]

yes, but Joutsen joined them much later... First two albums Koivusaari sang for them, then with Eclipse came a new singer, a rather mediocre one (imho). But with Joutsen they got their perfect vocalist. He put the band on a whole different level. Before he was there they didn't play many of the early songs in concerts, now they are doing that again and these old gems sound magnificient with Joutsen. I also liked Koivusaari with his grunting vocals.. but with Joutsen Amorphis almost sounds like a different band

[@Ironcabbit]

The best era of Amorphis, IMO. I also liked the Pasi Koskinen era.

So good to see these guys here back in the channel About In Flames I REALLY REALLY recommend their old stuff, anything from Jester Race to Clayman is gold. Songs like The Jester Race, Jotun, Zombie Inc, The Hive or Goliaths Disarm Their Davids would be great

[@Idefixu]

Gonna see Amorphis live on October 15th in Helsinki Finland. Bought a ticket today. Do you know Sonata Arctica? "My Land" Masters of Rock 2015 is a good one. No crowling but the vocalist, Tony Kakko, has a strong, but higher voice. Tony is a good friend of Tuomas of Nightwish.

[@danielradina1330]

After In Flames , Amorphis is my second favourite band in the world, their music is so powerfull yet so melodical. They are amazing.

[@serkankerimoglu9834]

I would like to suggest you my favorite Amorphis song. I havent seen anyone listened/reacted to this song. Its called ' Her Alone'. It would be awesome if you could take a look at it. Hits a lot different

[@wolverine669]

About this album, with Pekka Kainulainen's (lyricist) words, the lyrical theme is universal: "Cultures rise, flourish, and are destroyed. The story of man is the story of searching, finding, and forgetting. A single spark can set the world afire, a single idea can give birth to a new culture. The greatest can stagnate into insignificance, the smallest can hold the power for change. The lyrics on this album are distant echoes of ancient forest peoples, from a time when meaning was proportioned by the cosmic forces that govern birth and death. If the connection was lost, they sought for a strand of knowledge, found a new direction, and a new age began."

Weight your crown could be a straigt translation from Finnish, as we could say like: there your strenght [or anything] is weighted ("siellä vahvuutesi punnitaan" -but if you cannot say it that way in English, it might be: "that measures if you are strong"? Or,: "that really tests your strength/if you are strong or not"? I don't know how you really say it in English.. And as for crown to be weighed.. only the hard times test if you are a true king.. (but in Finnish -if it was said like that in Finnish, it would sound.. well.. a bit stupid, like reading a newspaper. The weighting of crown is the same - but said more poetically, symbolically)
