Amorphis - Tuonela. CD. (Relapse - RR64142) The album that prompted cries of 'sell-out!!' for Finland's bleak masters of epic metal, as they honed down their style into something commercial, palatable, melodic and almost totally divorced from their roots. This therefore was unto them as 'One Second' was to Paradise Lost, but even more of a departure, as the guitars on this album are almost all but absent except as a textural device. Opinons are divided: even we're not sure, but you might have some fun deciding for yourself.

Amorphis - My Kantele. CD EP. (Relapse - RR6956-2) Superb new Finnish band who cover Hawkwind and Kingston Wall on this mini album which is housed in a digi pak. Wonderful psychedelic progressive with killer guitar, electric and acoustic instruments etc.. English vocals....

Amorphis - Elegy. CD. (Roadrunner - RR66352) Deluxe re-issue of the full length album from 1996 by this Finnish band. Exotic heavy acid rock/metal with sitars, complex arrangements, killer psych guitar and long tracks. Similar in some ways tolegendary Finnish band Kingston Wall, although perhaps heavier. Great!Now issued in a digi with silver foil print
