No BS Reactions: Prog Dude Reacts to Amorphis - House of Sleep!

Just like I overlooked Meshuggah for a long time, I've taken way too long to acquaint myself with Amorphis. Time to correct that!

Amorphis has been around since early 90'ties. They have huge amount of records and they are very versatile band. There are songs in death metal, melodic death metal, prog metal, folk metal and also mainstream stuff, etc.

[@BleedingEdgeProg]

Cool! Sounds like a lot of variety to explore, then!

Amorphis ❤❤

[@amonn12]

I think this song sounds better live than the recording.

[@tubelious]

Amorphis is prog only in their discography evolution. They are melodic death metal with folk influences.

[@BleedingEdgeProg]

I'd agree with you from what I've heard thus far. I'm looking forward to hearing more, but I agree what I'm hearing isn't very proggy...yet. But they do seem to have a good bit of crossover appeal, based on what I see at prog concerts and in my own opinions

[@BleedingEdgeProg]

Thanks for the suggestion!

I like their heavier stuff more, but nothing bad comes from them. 🤟 They have great combination of harsh and melodic music. Personally I love "Sampo" for example. It is bombastic yet not corny and has those longer instrumental progressions you were left longing.

God i love Sampo

9:10 the lyrics are based on a story from Finnish mythology, from the Kalevala. Not exactly sure which story is being referenced in this song. But that is why the lyrics might seem a bit odd.

[@BleedingEdgeProg]

Thanks for that. Looked it up and sounds very cool: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalevala

[@epiendless1128]

I just read it's about Kullervo first meeting his sister, although I'm afraid I don't know that story.

@@BleedingEdgeProg I think the idea of the mistress of a house having keys at her waist is a thing that happened historically. There is the old word "chatelaine" which means both the mistress of a castle, and also means a chain worn at the waist for holding keys.

u may want to react to Anathema!!!

[@BleedingEdgeProg]

That's another one of those "periphery of my awareness" artists that I expect I'll get to. Similar to Amorphis, I've seen the name, particularly at concerts on shirt and been curious.

@@BleedingEdgeProg pretty progressive or better experimental without being overly technical ;-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnfSZGZojpqof6M
