FIRST TIME Listening to AMORPHIS "THE BEE" Reaction!

A different approach to the music lately, and a damn good one too! I went back through my notes and found this one hiding in the pages. It was a request a while ago so I'm here to get it done! Amazing vocals and musicianship as usual! Great song! I can't wait to check out more of them!

Next I suggest their song "Death of a king" 🎶🎸👍😊

[@ianknowles8934]

Amorphis are the support band for Nightwish on the forthcoming Human Nature tour

[@tasiaflorou6002]

Try Wintersun, another cool band from Finland.

[@helky8]

My favorite band along with Nightwish ❤️❤️ Tomi's voice is like honey to my ears ❤️ They have so many good songs! Amongs the stars would be good to react 😉 also Death of a king, Nightbirds song, Silver bride, You I need....too many!

[@tonyv.8781]

This has been my favorite band for nearly 25 years. Stop sleeping.

[@helky8]

I recommend this band to many reactors but they don't usually do reaction. I quess its becouse of wievs. Becouse band isn't so known many don't watch reaction. Well they are quite popular here in Europe. But if you allways think just how many likes and wievs you can have with your reaction you will miss out many good band. Thank you for this reaction 💕😍

[@CodyLamReacts]

No problem I'm sorry I took so long to get to it. Views come and go with every video so you can't focus on that. I'm always looking for new music and it's great to have people from around the world recommend different bands that I wouldn't normally hear about. I try to get to every song that is suggested but obviously it takes some time. I hope you guys just enjoy it and come along on the ride with me

[@tapsavaan1671]

If you like this, this is for you ; Insomnium - while we sleep (one of best finnish metal)

[@Teloch]

While The Bee is definitely a great piece from them, I always thought Amongst Stars was the gem from the Queen of Time album. Adding Anneke van Giersbergen's guest vocals just works so well with their soundscape.

[@Antelano]

When it first dropped I was like: "GOD DAMN! They're really swinging for it with this album". But the track cooled off fast. It's definitely one of the lesser tracks of the album now.

[@toiddiot1629]

@@Antelano agreed! The whole album is the gem. It's just great 🤘

[@VickThor84]

Nice reaction dude!!! 👍 You're in for a really nice surprise with Amorphis Man, they are masters in their own territory, imagine this: Finland is the most metal country in the world and they are one of the top 5 bands there, take your time and savour their music, some times it's takes time to adjust but if your hooked since the beginning then you just found another treasure 🤘🤘🤘 Just like Orbit Culture 😉😎🤘

[@CodyLamReacts]

That's awesome! Looking forward to more of them and Finland in general. They seem to have a good variety of music.

[@toiddiot1629]

@@CodyLamReacts I recommend any song from their live show from Oulu, Forging the land of the thousand lakes. It's older material, but a good live quality 🤘 Got a new sub here!

[@CodyLamReacts]

Thanks! I'll have more coming soon! Sorry for the delay in uploads

[@paulfuentes5276]

Great song, great album, great band!

[@Eulaalia10]

Thank you for your reaction! You just gotta love Amorphis! There is no bad music from them. Their latest singer Tomi Joutsen just nails it. Another great song for driving would be their Bad Blood. Their lyrics are written by a poet. Kalevala inspired Tolkien when he wrote his Lord of the Rings. This album is pure gold if you want a proof listen to one of its bonus songs Brother and Sister. Which too bad you'll only get in some of the album versions.

[@CodyLamReacts]

As a huge Lord of the Rings fan I'm surprised I didn't actually know that. But that's awesome. I'm definitely looking forward to checking out more of what this band has to offer!

[@aquarix3084]

Yes, Bad Blood for driving! Brother and Sister too :) Also Heart Of Giant, Dark Path, Under The Red Cloud, Towards And Against (especially live version from Oulu show)…For sleepy mornings - White Night or The Way (old song with different singer). Though Amorphis is my favorite band, I’d like to suggest my absolute number one driving song (imaginary, cause I don’t drive ha ha) by another great band from Finland Omnium Gatherum - Living In Me. So much energy!

[@CodyLamReacts]

Thanks! These sound intense. Might have to drive for a few reactions lol

[@ericfisher4736]

One thing to know about Amorphis is that their sound is not easy to identify with just a few songs. Similar to how Nightwish changes things up a lot, Amorphis has a variety of tempos and style changes that can turn people off if they listen to the wrong song(s) first. If I had to pick just from their last two albums, a few songs to recommend I would say: 1. Death of a King - a common recommendation, catchy song (Under the Red Cloud, music vid) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZSQmHiaqJiYiq8 2. Pyres on the Coast - heavy but slower, album closer (Queen of Time, audio only) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHmqaHemZZWlqbs 3. Come the Spring - fast with 100% clean vocals, uplifting feeling (Under the Red Cloud) kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5ykapuwmtWKmMk 4. Dark Path - fast and heavy, really flexes Tomi's vocals with two different growl styles and difficult clean vocals (Under the Red Cloud, audio only) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJexf5d_hZl7mKs 5. Wrong Direction - 99% clean vocals, good hook (Queen of Time, music vid) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKucpnSFgpl3ftE I would say that if you have a favorable opinion of those 5 songs you'd probably like a decent amount of Amorphis' music. Also, I have to ask: What's with the corn starch and caulk on the shelf behind you? 🤣

[@CodyLamReacts]

Lol thanks for the list! And as far as the shelf items go, I have gotten into making fishing lures and apparently you can mix the 2 items (corn starch & silicone) to create a mold. I bought them to try it. I understand it's kind of a strange background lol.

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

"their sound is not easy to identify with just a few songs" But it is easy to hear if it is Amorphis. (25 years of listening kind of helps)

Message in the Amber (Follows The Bee)

[@ntak8262]

Go finish man 🇫🇮👊❤️🙏🏻 hi from Finland, wonderful reaction 👊❤️

[@Deltroyer1963]

Pohjola = The area of the Northern countries (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Greenland).

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

Now you are thinking of Nordic nations.

[@alyssacrnkovic2691]

Amorphis is one of my favourite bands! But I recommend looking into some older stuff - the songs Sampo or Skyforger are FANTASTIC. My husband's band opened for them in Calgary and Edmonton back in 2017, and seeing them back to back nights, and how consistent they were live just shows their level of professionalism and experience

[@CodyLamReacts]

That's awesome! I'll have some more coming soon!

[@simmysims9209]

Finnish melodeath ❤️

[@MrSilentBill]

Hey there, thank you for your reaction. Amorphis is definitely one of the bands who are the most meaningful to me. Maybe something you find interesting regarding bees: One of the heroes of the Kalevala is a man called Lemminkäinen. From Wikipedia: "The original, mythological Lemminkäinen is a shamanistic figure. In the Kalevala, he has been blended together with epic war-heroes Kaukomieli/Kaukamoinen and Ahti Saarelainen. In one myth, he drowns in the river of Tuonela (the underworld) in trying to capture or kill the swan that lives there as part of an attempt, as Ilmarinen once made, to win a daughter of Louhi as his wife. In a tale somewhat reminiscent of Isis' search for Osiris, Lemminkäinen's mother searches heaven and earth to find her son. Finally, she learns of his fate and asks Ilmarinen to fashion her a rake of copper with which to dredge her son's body from the river of Tuonela. Thus equipped, she descends into the underworld in search of her son. On the banks of the river of the underworld, she rakes up first Lemminkäinen's tunic and shoes, and then, his maimed and broken body. Unrelenting, she continues her work until every piece of Lemminkäinen's body is recovered. Sewing the parts together and offering prayers to the gods, the mother tries to restore Lemminkäinen to life, but while she succeeds in remaking his body, his life is still absent. Then, she entreats a bee to ascend to the halls of the over-god Ukko and fetch from there a drop of honey as ointment that would bring Lemminkäinen back to life. Only with such a potent remedy is the hero finally restored." Amorphis' album Silent Waters is completely based on Lemminkäinen and the lyrics are English translations of Finnish poems written by poet Pekka Kainulainen. The songs Silent Waters and Shaman are specifically about Lemminkäinen's mother's quest to find her son and bring him back to life. Those songs especially hit me deep, as they depict, how strong a mother's love can be to take on many hardships to save her child.

[@CodyLamReacts]

Wow, that's awesome. I hadn't read all of that yet. Amazing story to base music from.

[@jda1069]

Check out "Black Winter Day" by Amorphis. (The original, no bloody A, B, C or D)

[@digitalspecter]

"I get kinda weird looks from the neighbours when I'm out there screaming along" LMFAO the mental image is just way too hilarious! Keep it up dude :D (and don't care about the neighbours, I'm sure they do weird shit too)

[@Pappa_66]

Thank you for this reaction! You have only missed like 31 years of Amorphis! So dive in to this great rabbit hole!

[@marinak7483]

Love Amorphis 🤘💙🇫🇮

[@tapsavaan1671]

React : Ensiferum - Andromeda. (Finnish metal)

[@marinaandersson4381]

Great💪!!

[@randalljones4370]

I'm pretty sure there's a Live version they did in the past 6 weeks.. was it Albatross? Not sure, but it's easy to find on YT. Pretty damn good Live... I'd definitely pay to see them. Those loooong growls... the only way I can approach it is a baritone fry-scream, which is probably not too good for my voice long term. Hah, who am I fooling... I'm never gonna record anything, so I may as well blaze away.

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

Please react to Shades of gray, Silver bride and Silent waters. Fantastic stuff.

[@CodyLamReacts]

As soon as I get a chance I will. Thanks for suggesting!

[@f.j.893]

Hey, please listen while we sleep of insomnium.🤘🏻 F.J.

[@ReinhardtBII]

Check out the official lyric video of Sakura Omen, by Whispered. You'll dig the fuck out of it

[@wanmac31]

😁🇫🇮🤘❤️🎶🎹🎸🥁✨👍

[@steveintentionallyleftblan3398]

my last name is ruonavaara. i'd believe that you can't pronounce finnish last names, because my teachers would always pronounce it runnah-veh-rah.

[@Antelano]

It's a fun song that hits hard at first. But it gets stale fast. Atleast it did to me. It's just so one-dimensional. "Sky Is Mine" is where it's at. Their singular best song in my not so humble opinion. "Under the Red Cloud" and "Shades of Gray" are also nice picks if you ever follow up.

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

"We go for first names..." Funny. Rechberger is not a Finnish name at all.
