Privilege of Evil, Karelian Isthmus and Tales from the thousand lakes are all any Amorphis fan needs

When this album was released 30 years ago, a new style was created that conveyed a lot of love for their own country and spirit. It is a masterpiece and still worth losing yourself with this album with some beers as it is non-aging...

WHAT AN ALL TIME BRILLIANT OLD SCHOOL DEATH METAL !!!

A true classic!

I grow with this had it original cassette : )

Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus and Edge Of Sanity - The Spectral Sorrows might be my 2 favorite albums of all time. There's something about both of them that captures my heart like no other

1. Karelia 00:45 Hide lyrics "The sound of thousand warriors The fields of thousand battles Still, in our hearts we can hear the great hymn of Karelia." 2. The Gathering 04:15 Hide lyrics As I sense their steel As I see the mighty one As we all gather once again The gods of war summon us... Summon us North wind blows to our valley Men with ships, with swords, with honour Their horses between flames Their dogs eating enemy childs Our heavenly father, what is this mortality Do you see my mortal agony Look, I see the shield up high This must be the sign from my lord This can be my death - sentence What a fine day to die Taste of blood comes up high Wind blows hard, our men fall... One by one This oath claims me I must bleed for my generation Strong is the enemy Strong is my sword The hammer is rising I feel their cold steel Now when I leave this world I shall open the mighty oaken gate And we all shall gather once again 3. Grail's Mysteries 03:04 Hide lyrics I shall have a son Out of Cornwall shall he come That shall be a wild boar Bristled with steel... He shall be a man most brave and Noble in thought Thou shall kneel for him For every man shall humble In front of our lord I stood upon the sand of the sea And the great wind told me to carry on He shall once know the secret Of the Holy Grail And so was the coronation made And there was he, Sworn unto his lords and the commons To be true king 4. Warriors Trial 05:07 Hide lyrics As the sun falls down And the swell crashes into the shore The great warriors of doom and wind ride high Silent is the silence, The only breathing of horses sound, Cold northern steel, Shining blade, pleases us And we all live under the black mark Oh lord, lead us to the paradise My lord, is this the promised land is this your gift Let us fly into your dreams Let us taste some blood Sorrow - the unknown force Hate - respect your enemy Bitterness - shall be forever Silence - nothing left Let us fly into your dreams Let us taste some blood 5. Black Embrace 03:43 Hide lyrics Terror, when the darkness binds your limbs Terror, when the fear freezes your nerves Horror, when the pain climbs up your veins Darkness, creeping under you skin Moment of life, When we all have to choose, Which way to go And for whom to sacrifice your life Invoke the god - pray To lead you back to life - pray Cursed by religion - hate Learned upon church - fake In the verge of hell, Of human mind Redemption of your soul, As darkness binds you tight Moment of life, When we all have to choose, Which way to go And for whom to sacrifice your life 6. Exile of the Sons of Uisliu 03:46 Hide lyrics A wave the sound of Noisiu's voice His singing was ever sweet... Noisiu's grave has now been made And the accompaniment was mournful For him I poured out - hero of heroes, The deadly drink that killed him Dear his short shining hair A handsome man, even very beautiful Dear the grey eyes that women loved Fierce they were foes 7. The Lost Name of God 05:34 Hide lyrics We have to know, we have to see Religions so many, Which one of them are so real, That it makes us to believe ? Crushing the chains of faith To find the way of immortality, We're hiding behind the cross To find shelter, We're searching for the name of god In this maze of hatred The name of god is lost Under the flag of salvation We cleared this land of pagans Under the cover of Christianity, We stained our hands in blood At these times of anguish The name of God is lost "I saw the coming of the end, Sun stopped its shining, Air is no longer fresh, Then it was too late to realize, That we can't breathe our hate." The lost name of God 8. The Pilgrimage 04:42 Hide lyrics In his eyes The evil spirit rise Turns to darkness with Satan's name "As the time is right Dead bodies rise up from their graves And when the time comes near Oh, I see the prince of glory" Holy month Sacred hounds Under the hill Do you hear their call 9. Misery Path 04:19 Hide lyrics We sail across the sea, In our thoughts we float over mountains All this vanity that we could hide The truth The truth is to be alive And to live your life in fear by hate And create our own gods We all ourselves are created Our own images Ourselves we are created Our own gods In the misty morning When the sun is rising, When the whole sky is red like blood Man can realize the real meaning of life To love and respect your life Your salvation, or is just your damnation. We all ourselves... 10. Sign from the North Side 04:57 Hide lyrics True Celtic power From the cape of Cornwall Cry of hope, angels cry This was omen, our sign, prediction Distant gate, gothic grave Through ages our clan still remain In this proud land I grew up strong, My tears are flowing all around The wind is twisting my sorrow I still believe in truth and hate All through my life I have carried our ring, The omen All this was the fragment from my life In this proud land I was born alone I was taught to fight, taught to win They told me the way of steel and secret I am the unburied child, Child without a name, Without fate, I fight for peace and love, I am reborn 11. Vulgar Necrolatry (Abhorrence cover) 04:22 Hide lyrics Erosion of life i see It makes the passion burn in me Life it always withers away Death will eternally stay Corpses in their coffins Forever rest in peace ? There sleeping with the aspergillus Is this justice to the dead ? The atracious site, of a burial ceremony christians weeping, for the departed They don't understand, they should envy them ! The deceased they know, is there a Paradise ? Or shall we feel, the Purgatory! I open the graves, admire the Rot I can feel the presence of something from beyond Aureaola of nauseating reek Wings of shriveled skin Holy beauty of carcass Divine sight for me to gaze upon ! Necrolatric, reverence for putrefaction Necrolatric, reverence for the stench I kneel, before a carrion I pray, before the dead I know, they shall rise I fear, for the scourge I revere, power of the dead

Przez wiele lat najlepsza płyta i zespół, bił na głowę resztę w ramach gatunku, słucham ich od początku i nie jestem już młody

The intro riff on The Lost Name Of God automatically makes it one of my favorite metal tracks

An incredible and powerful album! I give much respect to the 90's Finnish death/melodic metal. Musical genius!

One of the best Death Metal albums ever!

Just discovered the band. I'm fucking sold.

This will still sound amazing 200 years from now. That's what classic music IS.

THIS ALBUM CHANGED MY LIFE!

I like early Amorphis best. This is good and Tales is a masterpiece.

I begin every Mothers Day by blasting this as soon as I wake up....YES!

Да альбом крутой тягучий и мощный,мне было тогда 17,жаль что так они уже не сыграют

This album and the song Exile of the Sons of Uisliu, started my adventure into Melodic Death Metal. It's a brilliant album that has stood it's test of time. But the next album really put them up there, Tales from the 1000 lakes, that album is sheer brilliance

Their best album with a Tales From The Thousand Lakes.

I seriously feel this is one of the greatest metal albums ever; musically and conceptually. Every song is perfect, if not close to perfect.

One of the best metal albums of all time! No need to discuss what type of music this us.

The best album

exile of the sons.... is amazing. great album

So glad the entire album is up and not in sections. Worship this album. It's up there with 'Sumerian Cry' All hail!

Karelian and Thousand Lakes are so underrated. In my humble opinion they are easily the top death metal albums of all time.

2018, and still love amorphis...

GREETINGS FROM BRAZIL!!! LONG LIFE, AMORPHIS!!! HAIL!!!

When amorphis was death metal

My favorite album by them. I love the newer Katatonia stuff but Amorphis is a band that I think was better doing this death metal type stuff. Good shit!

Awesome work on this album. I really love those scales. It's terrible, agressive, melodic, back from the 90's to kick your... you know.

A real old school DEATH metal album! North wind blows to our valleys, men with ships with swords... 🤘🏻🎸 Strong is the enemy, strong is my sword! 🗡 Oh, I came here for The Lost Name of God but I can’t stop it, from its Karelia intro...till the end. Brutal songs, still have the cassette tape.

Wore out my cassette!! Great Album!!

awesome vocals

I listened to this album in the 90s drinking brandy and eating peanuts in the cold winter of southern Brazil \m/

It's amazing how much the work of one team can change along the way. I had a cassette with this album Karelian Isthmus in my youth, and I could listen to it for years. And now I also feel the harmony of each part of the album. But I don’t perceive their other, Amorphis, albums at all - as if they were made by completely different people ...

Fine song and album...

Saudade dos meados dos anos 90............custei para escutar esse vinil na época.....sem internet.....poucas pessoas tinham.....era aquela famosa via sacra.......achar alguém que tinha o vinil e pedir para gravar uma fita K7.......tempos difíceis; porém bate saudade.......outros tempos aqueles!

One of the best albums ever! I wish they would play these songs live!

Лучшая работа мастеров!

DEATH METAL VICTORY!

El mejor álbum de Amorphis!! Nostalgia total de aquellos tiempos tan lejanos..cuantos recuerdos..🤘🥀

Best Amorphis album! Whatever happened to them.....

🌟🌟🌟👍 original amorphis 💢✨🔥🎸

Cant believe what this band turned in

Лучший их альбом!Битва за Карельский перешеек была тогда нешуточной и финны бились аки львы!Об этом событии и поведал нам Amorphis!

This is awesome!

How i miss this sound, this is their best album.

Perfect memories from my school years... excellent !!

My best amorphis album grew up with this on my cassette tape 51 yo here from philippines

Great Album, one of my favorite of ever!

That cover is brilliant, Amorphis are my third favourite band, been putting out consistantly brilliant albums for 30 years.

Yep! And up! by T&M

Amorphis is a Finnish Progressive Heavy Metal Band and are sometimes called Folk Metal because they frequently use the Kalevala, the Epic Poem of Finland, 🇫🇮as a source for their lyrics. Amorphis was founded by Jan Rechberger (Drummer), Tomi Koivusaari (Rhythm Guitar and Vocals/Death Growl),and Esa Holopainen (Lead Guitar) in 1990. The other members are Santeri Kallio (Keyboards) and Tomi Joutsen (Vocals, Live Occassional Acoustic Guitar). Amorphis really rocks hard!!

I have always liked old school amorphis, When I saw/hears thisalbum I knew it´s time for shopping. Now I got three (3) albums. This, Elegy and Tales from thousand lakes!

So many memories surrounding this album, the great teenager years!!

Аморфис прекрасен) одна из тех групп, под которые я просыпался в школу)

All Amorphis albums are great, and this one is no exception! 😁

Ничего лучше уже не будет, во всяком случае у Аморфис.

The songwriting on this album is astounding! Tuonela - Pretty cool, some great Songs like Nightfall Tales from the Thousand Lakes - Interesting Direction, special and unique The Karelian Isthmus - Masterpiece!

This is a great album🤘🖤🇵🇹

El mejor recuerdo del metal para mi violencia que navega bajo esta la mejor música que he escuchado

Obra maestra 🔥💯💯

Who would dislike this?

If only !!!

Лучший альбом

Крутой тяжелый альбом!💣👍 сейчас они так не играют,но все равно красавцы😍

I'm from Martinlaakso, Vantaa (Finland 🇫🇮) and i will say one thing to these death metal veterans Amorphis: HYVÄ MARTSARI 😼🤘!!!! Also i have this album on CD and i'm still looking for LP. 😺👍

Да,Аморфис в любом стиле крут!!! 😈👻👹👽👾💀💪👍🤘

Good

初めてこのアルバムのイントロを聴いた時、あまりの美しさに発狂した

Clássic!!!!

first time i listen, its nice

Amorphis were infinitely ahead of their time with this album, this album still destroys 99.9% of the albums that are being released now.. and forever.!! there is just something very special and very magical about the atmosphere on this album that no one has ever been able to recreate, I got this when it was released in 1992 i'm 43 now and I still worship this album and Tales From The Thousand Lakes another beautifully special and magical album to me also, such a shame that now they are nothing but Nightwish wannabes with their radio friendly Queen Of Time crap..

Can't wait until this, tales, elegy & tuonela arrive! Love this death metal record \m/

Amorphis!!! Ever.

come back memories...

Tales from the thousand lakes is the best amorphis album 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Najlepsze czasy melodyjnego death metalu rules 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🖤👿

#MakeAmorphisGreatAgain

When death-doom rules this world...

One of the best!

Ok you friggin metal heads - you win this one!

"Smoothly natural metal built from the old style of heavy chords sparsely strung together, eschewing speed strumming of most death metal, with a patterning toward eloquent greatness arising from simplicity, powers this release. At its core, this is death metal that became enmeshed in Bathory-style epic contemplation, and it maintains solidity through inventive mid-paced death metal riffing and conceptual uniting in songwriting structure. With a real taste for a coherent but beautiful aesthetic, the music of Amorphis moves fluidly, with disjointed song structures rectified by such distinctive riffs and bridges as to make this unconfusable with any other band. Many riffs are pop-style carved from tritone patterns for a comforting and familiar but easy vector to carry rhythm. Often melodic playing interlaces slow thunderous riffs to build intensity for some fundamentally clearthinking riffs which divide, pound or shape raw momentum to create mood. Lyrics are mainly fantastic, focusing on the history of Finland and its people. Vocals are low but open-throated, resulting in an ongoing harsh scream that melds with surging string instruments. Percussion is accurate and like all instrumentalism, of an intentionally minimalist framework to ensure complete execution. Deliberate songwriting with simple implements and intents clarifies into immersive and sensual sound."

I need this 12"

Iv got the tape iv had it since it came out. AND it still plays good.

30 años de esta belleza!!

Best album Amorphis + Privilege of evil

Can't get any better🤟

Najlepsza płyta 👍🤟

Escalofríos al escuchar la intro que solo anuncia la cadenciosa tormenta eléctrica que viene, un clásico

Amorphis ‎- The Karelian Isthmus Álbum, capa tudo foda demais.
