Exactly thirty years after its original release, Finnish metal icons Amorphis are proud to celebrate the anniversary of their milestone release “Tales From The Thousand Lakes” with a unique live edition of the record, which represents an essential collector’s item for every Amorphis connoisseur. The magic of this work, grandly transferred onto the stage of Helsinki, Finland’s Tavastia Club, displays the band in their full glory: powerful, passionate, and unforgettable.
With “Into Hiding,” a third chapter of this captivating live testimony has been launched to accompany the release.
“‘Into Hiding’ had a working title, ‘Rintamäkeläiset,’ as its opening melody reminds one of an old Finnish TV series,” recalls lead guitarist Esa Holopainen. “The song itself became very popular and is still a crucial part of our setlist. No wonder as it’s a great mixture of an old Finnish TV score, death metal, Arabic vibes, and Black Sabbath. And you can’t go wrong with a song that includes a bass guitar solo!”
This unique release, available on Blu-ray+CD and vinyl, was recorded at the iconic Tavastia club in Helsinki, Finland, in chronological order.
“Tales From The Thousand Lakes (Live At Tavastia)” manifests Amorphis‘s unparalleled dynamism and artistic uniqueness. Rarely has the raw power and emotional depth of a live performance been captured so authentically as on this sonic memento and extraordinary concert film. It can be ordered HERE.
