[@sightlesswisdom2559]

I still remember hearing this for the first time back in 96 on my local late night college radio station. I had no idea who they were so I called in asking the DJ who this band was and when I explained the highly melodic death metal band that had prominent keyboards playing with a few clean sung croons added in. The DJ tried to tell me it was Morbid Angel. I argued with him because I knew it was not Morbid Angel and because of a fledgling internet with next to no sources for heavy metal info at the time it took me another year before I was able to find out that it was Black Winter Day by Amorphis that I had heard that one late night......

Good story. Though kids today have more ways to get to good music, I keep asking myself is there as much good new music to find at all? Internet did make stuff more accessible but also has helped those that create brainwashing garbage music. I hope I do not sound too old for saying this.

I was in my second year of college in November 1994 where my staple diet consisted of Kreator, Sodom, Metallica and Slayer. One Thursday night when a few friends and I were too broke to go out we scooped together whatever coins we could muster and bought a few cans. After a couple of hours one of the group produced a cassette recording which included Black Winter Day and Drowned Maid. I was bowled over as I'd heard nothing remotely like this in my life. Over a quarter of a century later I've their entire discography on CD and have caught them six times in concert. Little did I realise that cold night in Limerick this would be one of the greatest albums I'd ever have the privilege of listening to. Untouchable then. Untouchable now. Cheers for the upload and the trip down Memory Lane.

[@AgeofJP]

they sound amazing and always did...I can't really say any of their albums sound like another, they all have their quirks. Skyforger, Circle and Under the red Cloud all blasted me away when they realeased. Such great combinations of different styles mixed with melancholic deathmetal. Every album told a story about something with the songs being poems in metal disguise. For example "Shades of Grey" has to be the most beautiful description of a sunset anyone ever has made

U should check Pasi's new band. Its called Ajattara and its awesome too :P My all time favourite song is Yhdeksäs and Verivalta

[@schade80]

@@AgeofJP A downside to that is that they have never written their own lyrics. NEVER. The lyrics to their first 3 albums are taken from Kalevala (a finnish national epic) and for the rest they have had a writer called Pekka Kainulainen. That for me takes away a lot.

[@evanstephen300]

@@schade80 Pasi did pen lyrics for three entire albums, following Elegy - (and one by Antti Litmanen, is he another well-known Finnish writer?). I think Amorphis went back to Kalevala material due to the success of Tales and Elegy - good from a marketing perspective. Don't let it bum you out though, the music utterly dominates!

[@batdwarf3991]

Back in '95 I was listening to everything extreme metal I could find, I was searching for something but with no idea what it was, then when I heard this album I knew I had found it. Amorphis kept making music (and some of it is good) but Thousand Lakes and the accompanying Black Winter Day EP are a perfect moment in time, like they are both a maiden flight and swan song, there'll never be anything like them again. I don't know how but somehow I felt that at the time, it made me so happy and so sad at the same time.

[@christianwagner5588]

But in my opinion Elegy is just as great in atmosphere as Thousand Lakes. Great melodies and Nordic folklore combined. After that the albums are good too, but no longer create a cold-dark-moody atmosphere

They're very humble dudes. When I met Esa I told him he's my fkn hero and he was like "what?!", he seriously gushed like he was so embarrassed. I told them all they're legends and they just shyly brushed it off and smiled politely. Like come on I'm sure they're aware of how influential they are and how many people love them. Esa imo is one of the greatest riff makers and metal songwriters of all time vastly underrated but to me he is a huge influence. And they only get better with time! \,,/

I think they know how much they influenced both Folk Metal and Melodic Death Metal, but in the typical Finnish fashion they want to see themselves as having done nothing special. Finnish culture heavily condemns narcissism, so people sort of downplay their achievements in the hopes that it'll prevent their successes from going to their heads. But I think it's for the best, otherwise they'd stop experimenting and trying to improve.

Tales From The Thousand Lakes (1994) is without question one of the coolest and most ground breaking Albums/CDs of all time! Even though it was the second studio Album by the Finnish Death metal band AMORPHIS this Album based on the classic Finnish national epic 'Kalevala' from the opening instrumental intro then to such classics as Into Hiding, The Castaway, Black Winters Day etc. There is not one bad song on the whole Album and to me it is what makes it so wonderful even in 2020 . Up until this time death metal was mostly Napalm Death, Death, Obituary etc. which is still very cool, BUT this New Finnish death metal sound was completely new and unique, and AMORPHIS has continued to put out the coolest best Progressive Death metal even to this day. i.e. 'Queen of Time' RESPECT

[@soldmysoultomanillaroad1555]

@@wardeni4806 if there's a genre that Tales.. was determinant for, that would be 90s melodic doom/death and not folk metal. If there's a folk reference in Tales, it's limited within a few eastern scales which were very common among melodic doom death bands from the 90s (Septic Flesh, Tiamat, Therion, Katatonia, My Dying Bride etc). Nothing to do with the post 00s happy fest from Finland. And there's no "big 5" of folk metal without the very originators of folk metal.. Skyclad.

Tales was album of the year on the Berlin radio station "Fritz" in the program "Stahlwerk" in 1994. It blew me away the first time I heard it. It's unbelievable what magic these young musicians have created. You can hear Pink Floyd and Mile Oldfield, you can recognize the seafaring of the old Finns through the oriental sounds.

[@Therionsylar]

This album deserve a place in the Top 10 Metal Albums of all time. Just mind blowing and game changer.

[@dargedik]

Timeless classic!!! A true masterpiece!!! lml

[@klausherbert3040]

Was 13 years when this album came out. An instant buy for me. Shaped my whole perception of music

[@mikerock76]

Just EPIC!!! One of the best metal albums of 90's! The winter is coming....

[@freddiemossberg7204]

The solo in Forgotten Sunrise is still as amazing as it was back in 94

[@nosferatuthevampy]

Man! That song came in the comp death just in the beginning 3, i bought the cd by relapse catalog after hearing that solo. That was in 96. Lots memories of my youth

[@calbenally9122]

This album is awesome and still sounds great after all these years! I'm 51 years old and listened to metal from grade school. Yeah I like certain bands that sound good and Amorphis stands out. Aside from the synthesizer and folklore there are heavy and brutal guitar parts that makes this album awesome. For example the last three songs-To Father's Cabin.

[@svobodasimon1185]

Same like me at 47. Almost 48

[@forhadbiplob7759]

I've just heard this great album in 2023. If not ,it would be a great miss ever! It's awesome!!!

[@ad.s.1252]

welcome to the club, I know it from the 90's

[@ViniciusSantos-dg1ez]

The very first time I ever heard about Finland was reading a review of this album, soon after it was released. 20 years later, I had the privilege of visiting the mighty Helsinki. Life has its moments.

[@agnyeshka4420]

Sounds of my childhood, those were the days. They dont do the music like this anymore. I hear this for the first time since like 20 years. Freaking tears haha

Отличный альбом. Очень нравиться. Познакомился с этой группой после прослушивания "Black Winter Day" не помню сколько лет назад.

[@RomanLeonidovich]

Лучший альбом группы!!! Слушаю его уже больше двадцати лет!!! ;)

[@boogabootoo]

Самое атмосферное - это слушать этот альбом в Норильске (да и в любом заполярном городе) долгой зимней Полярной, мать её, Ночью! ))) Лично проверял! )))

В своё время я дал его послушать одному мэну, а он мне подогнал пласт со старым Tiamat "Clouds" 1992 г и так я начал гонять сначала его, а потом Wildhoney итд. Но вот в 1994 году мне дали Anathema Pentecost III и с анатема я больше не расстаюсь по сей день. И ещё мне подогнали кассетку с Gathering "Always" и он мне тоже зашёл, ибо полностью пропитан духом и атмосферой doom 90 годов.

[@Trotsky1981]

Always special to listen to Tales From the Thousand Lakes in the land of a thousand lakes.

[@johanninman4136]

After all this Years, i am still loving this Album. It has the perfect ballance.

[@chaliceofblood6518]

1. Thousand Lakes 02:03 instrumental 2. Into Hiding 03:42 Hide lyrics The islander slips into hiding And takes to his heels Out of dark Northland The murky house of Sara He whirled out of doors as snow Arrives as smoke in the yard To flee from bad deeds There he had to become someone else He must change his shape As an eagle he swept up Wanted to soar heavenward The sun burnt his cheeks The moon lit his brows 3. The Castaway 05:30 Hide lyrics A bird flew out of Lapland An eagle from the North East One wing ruffled the water And the other swept the sky It's tail skimmed the sea It flutters, it glides It looks, it turns round "Why, man are you in the sea Fellow, among the billows?" 4. First Doom 03:49 Hide lyrics The mountains of North Shall erupt and flames Of darkland will raise Hail to one who hails Blood for one who bleeds O you mistress of northland Queen of darkland I may wash my hands of the Evil master's blood For that is no man's doom Which I bring That is child's doom And it shall be the First doom 5. Black Winter Day 03:48 Hide lyrics This is how the lucky feel How the blessed think Like daybreak in spring The sun on a spring morning But how do I feel In my gloomy depths? Like the flat brink of a cloud Like a dark night in autumn A black winter day No, darker than that Gloomier than an autumn night 6. Drowned Maid 04:23 Hide lyrics I went to wash at the shore I went to bathe in the sea And there I, a hen, was lost I, a bird Untimely died Let not my brother Ever in this world Water his war-horse Upon the seashore! Waters of the sea So much blood of mine Fishes of the sea So much flesh of mine Such the death of the young maid End of the fair little hen 7. In the Beginning 03:34 Hide lyrics I have a good mind Take into my head To start of singing Began reciting We seldom get together And meet each other On these poor borders The luckless lands of the north Those words we have got From the North's furthest fields, From the heaths of Kalevala 8. Forgotten Sunrise 04:50 Hide lyrics Once I had a mind And thoughts was given But nowadays, in this evil age All my sense is somewhere else Once I had a soul I was one with my god But now I am abandoned Banished from these lies Long my tale's been in the cold For ages has lain hidden I know how to bewitch fire And how to fame flames I know how to banish worms And turn snakes away 9. To Fathers Cabin 03:47 Hide lyrics O old man, good god Careful man of heaven Keeper of storm clouds Make misty weather And create a tiny cloud In whose shelter I may go 10. Magic and Mayhem 04:27 Hide lyrics Hey there, tiny wench My perpetual serf Put stew in a pot Bring water for the guest Before we part Before your neck is broken You strike first Son of the north

[@AzuarARazak]

pertama kali tahu kumpulan amorphis ni daripada firzhan..rakan kelas di sekolah smart, kuantan..tahun 96-97..hebat betul zaman kaset..

[@Signofevil_Smile4theCam]

Were great years. Therion, Tiamat, Dark Millennium, Sentenced, Edge of Sanity, Sadness, Benediction, Cathedral, and many many more. Still have the original blue vinyl of this one.

[@hayovink9708]

Great memories with this record. Coming from thrash metal, this (and Edge of Sanity) was the first death metal band I discovered. Still loving it, 51 years old and still grunting along :D
