AMORPHIS “Tales From The Thousand Lakes” LP

Amorphis – Tales From The Thousand Lakes LP Vinyl

Amorphis is one of the most important Finnish metal bands, having developed a distinctive blend of heavy sound, melody, and influences from Finnish musical tradition over the years. The band gained international acclaim by skillfully combining death metal aggression with atmosphere and motifs drawn from Finnish culture.

*Tales From The Thousand Lakes* is Amorphis’s groundbreaking second album, originally released in 1994. The record stands as a prime example of the early fusion of death metal with folk metal elements. Inspirations drawn from Finnish folklore and the **”Kalevala”**—Finland’s national epic—play a significant role in the music.

This reissue was released by **Relapse Records** on striking clear vinyl with a blue marble pattern (*Clear With Blue Marble*). An excellent choice for both fans of classic Amorphis and collectors of key European metal albums from the 90s.
