AMORPHIS - Amongst Stars (Official Music Video)

[@TattooedHoodlum]

Every time Anneke opens her mouth, magic flies out. This is perfect.

[@chrislira3574]

I get the chills any time I hear her voice. Whether it’s with The Gathering, Ayreon, or her awesome new solo CD, she is just amazing.

[@overthetop4247]

Exactly

[@HerrAlien]

Her sound cannot be mistaken.

[@jenniferpolumsky3112]

Her voice is just wow!!!

[@olearntz]

She's like a good Dutch cheese. Makes every good meal perfect!

[@vjollila96]

Amorphis, Children of Bodom, Nightwish, Korpiklaani, Beast in black, battle beast.... Etc so proud to be a Finn

[@pinkfluffyunicorns5788]

Don't forget Havukruunu :p

[@marcusanton95]

Damn, I'm German/American. Still, I love this music. Thank you Finland.

[@ThatShitGood]

Insomnium, havukruuno, strunkiin, before the dawn...damn literally all my fave bands finnish :'D

[@NelsonRB]

don't forget stratovarius and sonata arctica

[@gallaik]

You must be proud to be finnish, rest of the world we can only be jealous. ;-)

[@PygmaApril]

Anneke and Amorphis in one song...how could this not be a masterpiece?

[@werewolf2206]

Pygmalion Aprilis Absolutely right!!!!

[@werewolf2206]

Mark 13 What do you mean who's she? She used to be the frontwoman of The Gathering! Check her background!!!Her name is Anneke van Giersbergen

[@Kristofburger]

She originally made name for herself in the classic doom metal band The Gathering, and later she has worked with Devin Townsend among others.

[@krisdaschwab912]

Don't forget about her own projects such as her solo stuff and Vuur. Also became well-known thanks in part to Ayreon. If this person doesn't know Anneke, this is the beginning of a deep rabbit hole for them.

[@werewolf2206]

Risto Salonen Right on !!!! 👍

[@Zerty-LGCY]

Finland is the land of metal

[@shivs7169]

This band is so special. Their sound cannot be copied, they're on a whole different level to other metal bands. I get the strangest feeling when listening to them. It's almost like a sense of tranquility and calmness. I'm currently on a hospital bed in a shit load of pain but this makes me so happy. Long live Amorphis!

[@SamRodrigues77]

Perfect

[@michaelhoeveelg3633]

That's so true! No other words for Amorphis!! And I hope you get better soon!

[@markkunissinen]

It's pretty much the soundtrack to Finland. Haunting, horrible, supremely elevating and full of insane contrasts. Also has a tendency to get freakishly stale every now and then.

[@yumanoid5753]

Get well soon!

[@Themusicguy-vv5zg]

Get well soon! I have depression and this song makes me cry but still gives me hope to get my life better in somewhere on future. Just hope you get your self back on your feet soon... I try to keep my life on positive track also even tough it seems so hard right now...

[@doombeat5893]

When she sang 'Stars' and he growled 'RISE' in unison, it was so spectacular to hear. They are so good at matching their vocals and picking the right parts of the song to entwine their parts together, just sad that she hasn't done any more songs with them. So good.

[@An-qx1wh]

It's good that the woman didn't sing anymore. It's best when Tomi sings alone.

[@finnpaul]

They sang "her alone" together. Great Song!

[@JSpradley123]

For real! I saw Amorphis live on their last tour and Anneke opened for them then came out and sang this with them, it was incredible! ngl I almost cried during that unison part

[@VincentValentine33]

That is the exact thing I was feeling. It's amazing.

[@cwm8565]

An Salty and ignorant. That “woman” is one of the most influential vocalists in metal history

[@deathcorehatecrew666]

As my finnish teacher, who taught me about Nordic history, said to me: finnish music is pure melancholy. She was right... I love this kind of music from Finland.

[@Tounushi]

Try Ämmänhauta by Korpiklaani, if you want melancholy.

[@Steve-fu7gv]

🤔

[@Chris-jo1zr]

One band, Sentenced.

[@AshlinnSnow]

Hmm, no wonder I love so many Finnish bands.

[@Torsteen-p3d]

The reason is that Finland has a really long tradition of "poem singing" in which poems were written in a certain way to fit a melody that was played on the Finnish national instrument, Kantele. The Kantele instrument was traditionally tuned so that it was in between a major and a minor scale, making everything sound a bit melancholic. After new instruments and musical styles came around, Finns stuck to making music in a similar melancholic tone. That tone is an exceptionally good fit with rock and metal music which caused most people to fall in love with heavier music, which is also why in Finland metal music can be considered popular music, or even "high-brow" music, with many people comparing metal to classical music.

[@theapachevikingnomadfromhell]

Just when I thought Amorphis couldn't impress me more, they pull out a song like this. Long.... live.... Amorphis!!!

[@diegooliveirabenjamin]

My God what a voice this woman has!

[@shadihambo5956]

She is Anneke man! (Watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3e2o5-sraeFqsk )

[@leenalaine325]

The best duet ever, Sharon and Anneke!!

[@wretchedslippage3255]

She sings on a lot of Devin Townsend records.. Absolutely marvelous

[@Bert-Beukema]

New album with her band Vuur (fire) has been out a few weeks.

[@maidenaust8238]

Amorphis are like a fine wine. With age they only get MORE EPIC

[@burningbelow4424]

I disagree their first 2 albums that are old school death metal are way better than what they put out now, not saying that what they put out now is bad just not as good if they stayed old school death metal.

im probably the only african that likes metal but this music is so touching i have no problem with white people and i know alot of white people are helping africans in there own countries!!!!!!

[@herrakaarme]

The whole African population seems to be around 1.2 billion. There's no way you are the only one! Humanity's love of music is universal, even if every individual has their own tastes. It might seem easier to listen to what everyone else around you is listening to, but fortunately today with the Internet, everyone can also check out new things from all over the world.

[@onearthonelegion]

Metal has roots in african music in a way. As does the whole humanity.

[@bslsk.o]

Music is the best way to unite us all. And also theres a lot of great African/Black musician in metal. ✌️

[@thtadthtshldntbe]

There are a bunch of African metal bands out there. Skinflint is the one I have heard the most. They are basically kind of like an African Iron Maiden.

**LYRICS** Close your eyes And give in to the night Soar above the stars Forget what's behind Don't stare up at the setting sun Or the light of dawn Follow the thread of gold Drift on its tide It's a path of stars Ride on the golden stream And break the waves In a gilded trail of stars Rise Above the golden way of stars Rise Beyond the trail of stars The light will lure you To lands forged by demise To the shores of death The blooming meadows Seduce and intoxicate With a deceiving scent Follow the thread of gold Drift on its tide It's a path of stars Ride on the golden stream And break the waves In a trail of stars I've seen the lights up in the sky Like beacons from another shore So don't look back, don't look ahead Just close your eyes, give in to the night Close your eyes And give in to the night Soar above the stars The blooming meadows Seduce and intoxicate With a deceiving scent Follow the thread of gold Drift on its tide It's a path of stars Ride on the golden stream And break the waves In a gilded trail of stars Rise Above the golden way of stars Rise Beyond the trail of stars

Tomi's grunts are phenomenal, so brutal powerful yet understandable! Awesome! Btw they should make a full album with both vocalists, like 10-12 songs with both Tomi Joutsen and Anneke. That would be kickass awesomesauceness!

One of the finest songs from the band, ever. Wonderful!

[@Estorium]

I have loved Amorphis since I first heard Tales from the Thousand Lakes. That was the album that got me in to metal when I was about 12 or 13. That album remained my favourite until Eclipse was released. Hearing Eclipse for the first time blew my mind and I felt the same hearing that as I did when I first heard Tales, a feeling that I had not had since the a teenager. Now having finally purchased 'Queen' and listened to it on repeat, I have that same feeling again.. This has quickly become my favourite Amorphis album and is definitely the best album of the year.

[@Gstrangeman96]

It boggles the mind how five people can work together as a metal band, possibly the most hectic life one can live, for a quarter of a century and still manage to consistently produce amazing art that resounds with millions, including those like you that have been with them since the beginning. Amorphis truly is the finest hidden gem of metal.

Their new album is pure gold! Melodic, epic, surprising, well produced metal. Best Finland can offer in this scene. With less clean vocals its also heavier than the last few albums - a step back towards the beginning of this band. I dig this! Worth waiting for... Parasta metallia Suomesta vuonna 2018!!!

[@LonewolfProd_]

I honestly never really understood the message of this song. It leads me to think it's about leaving the past behind and finding a new start. But then the lyrics explicitly state "Don't look back, don't look ahead." Forsaking all notions of dark and light, at this point, I'm led to believe that rather than reach for the light and move forward, it's about finding peace in oneself in the here and now.

[@mikyXD1]

The hand gesture and the way they hold their hands in the end is soo nice

[@JMPMAOF]

It is seriously unfair to all the other metal groups releasing albums this year that this album is so good. But I can't stop listening to it and can't help but try to get others hooked. This song, The Golden Elk, and Heart of the Giant are just the standouts in an album that seriously stands above all other groups this year.
