The BEE for next Amorphis song, theres some serious growling

Go for overdose of Finnish melodeath and listen to Insomnium!

They'll be touring Europe as special guest of Nightwish next spring. Really, really looking forward to that. 😁🤘🏽🖤

And your next non-Nightwish Finnish band reaction should be While we Sleep by Insomnium and Six Feet Savior by Bloodred Hourglass.

Amorphis is a favourite of mine. They're ridiculously talented, and Tomi Joutsen's voice is the perfect combination of heavy with soaring cleans. They've had a very interesting change in sound over their existence, and a recommendation you're going to see on a regular basis is "Black Winter Day". This is a fair bit heavier than their current sound, but it is still a beautiful track. There's a version with Tomi Koivusaari, or Tomi Joutsen, if you want to do an album version before the live. Tales from the Thousand Lakes will be Koivusaari, whereas the live dvd and Tales from the Early Years will be Joutsen. This was a killer video, and I'm so stoked that you enjoyed them. They've done some amazing stuff, and put on one hell of a show.

Amorphis - Amongst Stars feat Anneke van Giersbergen

Do a roadie reaction from other roadies. Crewish, the Nightwish tech crew are releasing an ep of Nightwish songs. They already have a video out for 'Sleeping Sun'. Nightwish and the record label don't get anything of it. All the income will go to Crewish (the unemployed blacksmiths) as Covid did stop all the bands from touring = no job for techs.

You can't go wrong with Amorphis. Bee, Silver Bride, Bad Blood, From the Heaven of My Heart, Amongst Stars (with Anneke van Giersbergen, absolutely the best song from 2018).

I just listened to your insomnium reaction and went back to watch your amorphis reaction... as a massive fan of both bands, and all things Finnish metal (for 30 years), ive laughed each time you stopped and said "I expected something more thrashy"..... what you should expect from Finland is melodies, melodies, and more melodies.... the most beautiful and unique metal comes from Finland!!!!

Amorphis are definitely one of my favourite bands. I would recommend the following from their live Dvd: Forging the land of a thousand lakes - Sampo - Silver Bride - Black Winter Day - The Smoke - Majestic Beast - My Kantele

All the lyrics are first writen in finnish by Pekka Kainulainen and then translated to english by the band. Lyrics are based epic poems of Kalevala.

Dude what a great surprise!!! 🤘🤘🤘 Amorphis (IMHO) is a band so complex that it requires several listening session to really grasp their greatness. But since the first listening You can feel they are on another level. Thanks Tank, keep it up this channel rocks!!!! 🤘🤘🤘

I see there's a ton of fans of the new Amorphis out there suggesting quite new songs. So, I'm gonna bring my favorites from the earlier years. These videos are all live and from the same show, but they're damn good quality if you count that they are really old. So, here we go: The Castaway: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7RjaK6ortSRaas.html (Maybe my all time favorite Amorphis tune) Elegy Medley: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mcynpMaFqcWlk2g.html (Misspelled on the video. Medley of maybe the greatest album Amorphis has ever recorded) Silver Bride: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrRdp9hiptylomg.html (Show opener, and the newest song of these four. Still damn awesome tune) My Kantele: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZqYhNuGmMeXgI0.html (Many Amorphis shows close with the song. Beautiful guitars with catchy yet melancholy melody)

Ever heard Insomnium? Its a must! While we sleep or Pale morning star are my recomendations.

Oh man, I love Amorphis!! I sure hope you continue reacting to them! The Bee, Silver Bride, From the Heaven of My Heart, and Daughter of Hate are some of my fave songs by them.

One of my favorite bands. His growls are so pleasant to listen to and his clean vocals are also top notch. The albums with this singer simply have no bad song on them.

Wow... That is so catchy. I didn't know this band before, but I liked them so much. Thanks for your daily reactions. I got to know so many more new great bands for me.

Here's some more Amorphis songs you can react to: -The Bee -Amongst Stars -Dark Path -The Four Wise Ones -Silver Bride -Daughter Of Hate -The Golden Elk Keep up the great reactions!

Amorphis was one of the bands I graduated to after being a Metallica junkie for years in the 90s. They are one of those bands that, once you get a feel for them, you can hear just a few bars and know who it is. They have a huge back catalog since they've been around forever, and many well-known metal bands from Europe will list them as an influence. In my opinion, they should be a much bigger band but they just never took off as much as others. The line-up changes probably didn't help, especially now being on their third singer, but I definitely enjoy their current singer the most. Since he joined, they've moved back to their heavier style. They've certainly earned the name Amorphis though, going from death metal to a lighter synth-heavy metal in the Elegy years, then to an almost bluesy-rock sound and back to a folk-influenced death metal sound. For live, I would recommend Majestic Beast or Elegy Medley (mashup of the Elegy album) from the Forging the Land of Thousand Lakes (Oulo) show. The audio quality for this one is the best of all their live shows. For some reason their sound doesn't come across well in a lot of live recordings, even from Wacken, but having been to see them live more than once I can say they certainly do sound great in-person.

Amorphis is in my Top 3 only behind Epica and Nightwish. Love this band and everything they've done since Tomi Joutsen joined the band. He is my favorite metal vocalist. I always love a singer who can do both grows and cleans and do it equally good, live or on the record. Can't wait for you to deep into the rabbit hole with this band. Silver Bride, Amongst Stars, Bad Blood would be my 3 recommendations for the next song.

Guess you're totally hooked on European metal now ey? 😆 My favourite song of Amorphis is Amongst Stars, but secretly that's partly because of the guest singer. And it wasn't just a one of collab, they also played together during their American tour last year. Amongst Stars was also one of the songs of the featured singer her 25 years double concert celebration last year 🤘

I’ve been going theyre show’s since early nineteens,bands been evolving and have become one of the greatest from Finland;Enjoy

This band was on my list to check out. They are moving way up the list now. Highly impressed and great reaction Tank, it's always great when the hat comes off and the hair goes flying.

Next: Amorphis - Bee !!

The band has gone through some wildly different styles over the years, but have always been consistently good. I feel like they *really* blossomed after Tomi Joutsen came aboard though, he's a tremendously good vocalist. And on the last couple albums they've really done some great work at knitting all those different sounds and styles - early death metal heaviness, mid era prog influences, and the beautiful melodies of the "Joutsen-era" - into one cohesive whole. They're definitely one of those bands that, while I might not count them as one of my personal favourites, I feel like they're objectively speaking one of the best metal bands active today.

I've been watching your videos for a while and you finally came to my territory :D I love Amorphis so much that I've seen them live three times just during 2019, one of them evenwas in Finland, Helsinki, and it was one of the best shows I've seen! Honestly, Tomi Joutsen is male analogue of Floor Jansen. He is very talented and very skilled singer with huge range of both clean and harsh vocals. He just sings in a genre not famous for their singers, so he's not such a mainstream. Also, since release of this video they changed bass player (or, more precisely, original bass player of the band came back, he's Gibson Thunderbird player). Death of a King is wonderful song, but IMO, not the best to start Amorphis journey. If you'd like to see all the band skills - you can listen to The Bee from their recent album up to date. If you enjoy faster songs, you can listen to The Daughter of Hate and Amongst Stars (last one features Anneke van Giersbergen, also very good singer). They have lighter, almost MTV caliber songs, like House of Sleep (also, House of Sleep is their most famous song and they play it probably on every show since its release). They have wonderful close-to-be-acoustic songs like Silent Waters from the album with the same title, this one is my personal favourite. And last, but not least, make sure to listen to Black Winter Day and, more importantly, My Kantele. These two songs made a name for this band, and there's a popular opinion that if you'll visit Amorphis concert and they won't play My Kantele - you're going to be sad =| And as a small suggestion. You had problems finding their live performance - they have Hellfest 2018 Live officially recorded and released on youtube, since it was a show during "Queen of Time" cd support tour, they played mostly songs from latest two albums, but half of the songs I mentioned were played, by the way, including Death of a King. Like I said, it was officially recorded, so sound quality is great (except for having backtrack problem during intro, so they had to restart their show). I hope you'll listen to this band more, these guys are truly worth it.

Ohhh yess! They're a great band indeed. They will tour with Nightwish next spring

Their entire library is excellent. They are one of the best metal bands around.

Just in case nobody did mention it yet: The flutes and whistles that you hear in the background have been played by Chrigel Glanzmann from Eluveitie. he has been a guest musician for at least their latest two albums, I think. oh and just for the record: This is my absolute favorite metal band that has basically dethroned Nightwish from being pole position. Not only being ridiculously talented, they are also one of the most consistent bands I know of, and since Tomi became their singer, they have started to even get better and better with every new album.

I've only found your channel recently, but what a treat it is to see your first reactions to some of my favorite bands (Amorphis, Orbit Culture, Evergrey, Insomnium, Eluveitie, etc.). I know you've said you used to listen to a ton of Dark Tranquillity. They're still amazing, and I'd love to see some reactions to their newer stuff one day. \m/ \m/

Yessssss..... AMORPHIS.... One more of.my lovely Finland bands....

Everything about them is so unique, absolutely love these guys and it's one of the few bands that changed their sound over the years but just got better and better

Nightwish guitarist Emppu Vuorinen played also in Brother Firetribe (when Nightwish was not on tour). You should check out their songs "Indelible heroes" or "For better or for worse"

You will LOVE their latest album; Queen of Time and the opener The Bee

Amorphis is my favourite band since 1995. Love ALL their albums, they're pretty different by sound. You have a lot of suggestions from their recent stuff, but I'd like to tell how great their early albums! You can check these ones for a start: Exile Of The Sons Of Uisliu, In the Beginning, On Rich and Poor, Sign from the North Side, Drowned Maid, Better Unborn.

Cool reactions Tank! And an ice hockey madman as I am too... Way to go pal

Meshuggah in the outro 😁 Btw another Finnish Melodeath you need to check out is Insomnium. I suggest While We Sleep or One For Sorrow because you can see their gear in the MV. Another one is Mors Subita, they sound like Amon Amarth sans the Viking theme. As Humanity Weeps is a dopeass song to introduce you to the band.

hello tank, another great finnish band! they are special. tomis clear and brutal voice are both so excellent and impressive. love amorphis. thank you for this professional, genuine and passionate reaction.

I have never heard Amorphis...never even heard of them. But that was really good!! That sort of middle-eastern(ish) vibe really takes a great song up another notch. Thanks for showing this. Like it!!

His cleans sound JUST like Trivium....great combination with his deep, guttural growls. Totally into this shit.

Amorphis! I like their vibe, and Tomi has such a rich voice.

And today you have one of my favorite Soilwork songs playing in the background. You and I share the same brain when it comes to musical taste.

I would say my favorite bands at the moment are Nightwish, Wintersun, Amorphis and Insomnium. Of course, this may vary according to time and mood ... Also interesting are the support bands for Nightwish’s upcoming European Tour 2021 (which was supposed to be this year). The evening begins with Turmion Kätilöt, then continues with Amorphis and the evening ends with Nightwish. I would say, at that gig ticket price you can get good music indeed!

Amorphis will be joining Nightwish in their next(because of Covid prosponed) European tour. Cant wait to see both bands in Ziggo Dome Amsterdam in 2021. 😀 Keep up the good work and music Tank! Very much appreciated. Greetz from Holland.

Yay! I'll see them with Nightwish next year on their tour in Frankfurt!! Can't wait, this will be so great!

Wow, such a very documented reaction !! I liked it

Oh man you really upped your game, by far the best reaction so far.

Amorphis was my first encounter with metal. A black winter day.

I'm so happy to see you check out Amorphis, and even happier that it was this, my favorite song of theirs! Fantastic! :D If you want more Amorphis, I would absolutely have to go with Bad Blood from the same album--very different feel, but I linked this song to a friend once and they bought the album on the basis of that song alone.

Thank you Tank 😍🤘🏻 Amongst Stars for a suggestion of the next song

Amorphis is awesome. Very under-rated. Tomi is one of the best vocalists out today. Cool video ;) Amorphisgasm lool

Amorphis is amazing. They are activ from the early 90 and every song they wrote are fucking good. You can try the bee, amongst stars, from the heaven of my heart, silent waters, nightbirds song, or older staff against windows, drowned maid, the castaway and so many more...

I’m discovering metal with you. This band rocks!

This is interesting. Really looking forward to your reaction. I like this one alot.

Watching the music video and a good quality live song is pretty much the same thing. They sound so much like their recorded songs live.

Super excited about this reaction. Esa is one of my favorite guitarists all time. That's just my opinion. I know others might not rank him as much as I do but that's ok. I love how they have grown over their long career. They are awesome people too. Super humble. Let's gooo!

Another great european metal band formed in the 90's is Hypocrisy from Sweden. I think you would like them. Roswell 47 or eraser are great songs

That was great. I have their Tuonela album and it's never really clicked with me but I enjoyed that a lot more.

Oh man, gear rundown. Looking forward to seeing these guys open for Nightwish in May

Amorphis is one of my favourites! ❤️ I think I've seen them play about dozen times already. Last time was in December. They were touring with Soilwork then. 😊

Yes bro, Finland have many great bands!!!!

One of my favourite bands ever. It's their 30th anniversary this year and they've changed a bit over the years, both in sound and band members. Started off death metal and morphed into a more prog sound before getting a bit heavier again. It's all good! Only band I've heard playing what sounds like an electric sitar. For something a little different try their An Evening With Friends At Huvila live recording. Really shows off the beauty of their songs and the singer's rich voice. Another thing - a lot of their tracks are based in Finnish mythology and folk stories. Altogether an awesome band. Oh yes - Marco from Nightwish produced some of their albums and did backing vocals on a few tracks.

Tomi Joutsen is also the vocalist for the Band Hallatar. Check out the Song Mirrors.

Sacrifice, Wrong Direction, Dark Path, You I need, The wanderer these guys are awsome !!

The next reaction should definitely be live! I've seen them about three times and they're amazing live

Hell yesss. Amorphis is incredible. I've seen them live once with Dark Tranquility and they're fucking amazing live. Check out "The Bee", "Among Stars" (featuring the amazing Anneke), and "Silver Bride" for more goodness.

Parts of this song reminded me of Kingston Wall, which was a Finnish prog rock band in the late 80s - early 90s.

Hey Tank, what about Amorphis?! Tomi Joutsen, the singer is a humble family guy from city Lohja, where i lived almost 30 years. I love the stuff they are playing, and your comments are diamond as ever.

Very good and detailed videos so new subscriber🤟

Glad to see you've enjoyed this one! Man, I love that guitar solo. This is from an album before the last one. The last one, Queen of Time, came out in 2018 and it's SO GOOD. There is not a mediocre or boring song on that album IMO. I heard some reactors mention it was the best metal album of the year (ofc this is subjective but I don't blame them 😁). It's one of the albums I play in my car over and over 😄😄

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands ever. I enjoyed your reaction and I recommend bad blood or silver bride if you haven't done so already.

Amorphis with Tomi on the vocals is my favorite band. Their old stuff is also really good, but very different. They are super melodic, but heavy when they need to be.

Glad to see you reacting to Amorphis! Thanks for sharing :) If you want to continue the journey in the Finish Melodic-Death area, may I suggest Insomnium (While we sleep) or my personal favourite Mors Principium Est (We are the sleep). Songs are just suggestions, pretty much any material is good :)

The Bee, hands down one of the best ones.

Amorphis, Brother and Sister, silent waters, Under the red cloud, Daughter of hate, amongst stars...

I saw Amorphis in Kansas City about 4 years ago and their encoure was, Death of a King. Hands down, in the top 5 concerts I have ever been to. Swallow the Sun opened for them. YEAAH!!

Pretty much all of their albums are based, more or less, of Kalevala. The Kalevala is a 19th-century work of epic poetry compiled by Elias Lönnrot from Karelian and Finnish oral folklore and mythology. It is regarded as the national epic of Karelia and Finland and is one of the most significant works of Finnish literature. The Kalevala was instrumental in the development of the Finnish national identity, the intensification of Finland's language strife and the growing sense of nationality that ultimately led to Finland's independence from Russia in 1917 Their vocalist Tomi sings also in SINISTHRA and HALLATAR, bassist O. P. Laine plays in BARREN EARTH and their another guitarist Tomi plays in old school death metal band ABHORRENCE So maybe Barren Earth next? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ft-CocloqNG3qX0.html Their (new) vocalist (Barren Earth) Jon Aldera is from HAMFERD, a doom band from Faroe Islands

Nice reaction man! Just to throw a few of my favourite Amorphis tracks into the mix: "Daughter of Hate" from the Queen of Time album is possibly top of the list for me, but you can't go wrong with "The Bee", "The Golden Elk" or "Amongst Stars" from the same album. For a more Celtic vibe, "Tree of Ages" from the same album as "Death of a King", is phenomenal.

Great video!! Amorphis is a really great band i got to know because of my keyboard player and fell in love with them. If I can suggest a really great song to react to is The Raven Child by Avantasia with Hansi from Blind Guardian and Jorn Lande. Probably one of the best songs of 2019.

Time to get into the Kalmah, check out Kalmah - 12 Gauge (music video). Or if you need Live, Moon Of My Nights filmed at Vernissa this year seems to be decent quality in KZfaq.

What an exceptional song - WOW! What I found really special were the "eastern feelings/influences" in the song. Haven't heard much from Amorphis earlier - the only one I actually remember is the Bee (a Wacken live performance).

Great reaction! I was this close to buying a tin whistle too when I first saw Eluveitie :) Amorphis is great! They have a song called Amongst Stars that features the amazing Anneke van Giersbergen - she’s been a part of tons of projects over the years, including some of Devin Townsend’s albums. Or, if you want a different side to the lead singer’s growls could check out the side project/band Tomi Joutsen was part of called Hallatar, especially their song My Mistake. The backstory to Hallatar’s formation is tragic and adds an extra layer of emotion and meaning to all their songs.

First song I heard by them was Black Winter Day back in '94. I absolutely loved it and have been a fan ever since. If you do this song do the studio version, PLEASE!!!

Amorphis is definately those metal bands that I might not listen to all the time but I will always check out any new songs they release

I have been an Amorphis fan for 25 years. I knew you would dig them! I recommend Black Winter Day from their early days and The Bee from the latest album. And suprised you did not comment on his mic. 😅

Oh man, I couldn't believe it when I saw this notification, hell yeah Amorphis!

Amorphis is a golden fountain of music. From their early stuff up until now they never stopped evolving and leveling up. As for Tomi, leaving outside Bruce Dickinson, he might be the BEST vocal replacement in the history of metal.

Kingston wall - shine on me Sentenced - killing me killing you diablo - preacher

That's some damn tasty guitar work

They have gotten more folk as time has gone on. Early records are straight death metal. Check out The Smoke their hit from the middle period. This is good example of their current sound. Vocals sound the same live. Nice guys too.

Loving the reactions man! If you want to keep the Finnish bands coming, I think you'd quite enjoy Brymir - "Wings of Fire" or "Gloria in Regum". They're a very cool band that I would love to see get some more love!

Yes, more please!! Amorphis is super cool to see live so if you get a chance to see them, you must go. I saw them on tour with Dark Tranquility (one of my favorite live bands), Omnium Gatherum and Moonspell and it is still ranked as a best top 5 shows. Speaking of which... :) Moonspell - Alma Mater Omnium Gatherum - The Unknowing Insomnium - While We Sleep or Heart Like a Grave

The Bee, silent water or house of sleep are all awsome tracks to continue your trip with Amorphis. Great reaction 🤘

Have listened to a ton of music on this channel, that i never heard before. And many of then are killer bands. My play list are growing

One of my favorite bands at the moment! Got a chance to see them live twice so far (once in 2012 with Nightwish, and again in 2018 with Dark Tranquillity, Moonspell and Omnium Gatherum) and I really want to see them again when I can. Their last album "Queen Of Time" was my favorite album of 2018! Some of my favorite songs of theirs are "Silver Bride", "Battle For Light", "My Kantele (Live - Forging A Land Of A Thousand Lakes)", "Amongst Stars", "The Smoke", and "Under The Red Cloud". But they have so many great songs to discover! They have certainly changed over the years with their different vocalists. I am biased toward the current sound of Amorphis just because i discovered the band after seeing the music video for "The Smoke" on Music Choice: Metal On Demand around the year the album Eclipse (2006) came out and I went out and bought it at a local Borders Store. Small bit of trivia is alot of their lyrics are themed around stories from The Kalevala, a collection of tales/poems of Finnish mythology about gods and heroes from their culture, which is part of the reason I love their music so much.

Another "Finnish Essential": While We Sleep by Insomnium, then Heart Like a Grave, Mortal Share, Ephemereal, Weather the Storm, In The Grove of Death, The Promethean Song, Lay of Autumn (for something different) and my personal favorite: Into the Halls of Awaiting. Enjoy!

"Misery's Crown" by Dark Tranquility! If you have not heard of them, they have outstanding live and studio songs out there!

Other Amorphis songs you should take a loot at: Sky is mine Bee House of sleep The wanderer Sacrifice Silver bride Shades of grey

Just for some laughes and giggles. Check out Lordi with Hard Rock Halleluja. The finish song for the Eurovision Song Contest 2006. The live version from the contest hasn't the best sound. The original video is good.

wow great great reaction and amorphis what a band and vocalist and that melody :) hey your brothers in nightwish, nightwish crew have make music and they first song is in youtube,the sleeping sun. i think you know already and i really waiting what you say your co workers cover song :) crewish day there tank :)
