Exactly 30 years after the original release of the AMORPHIS cult album „Tales From The Thousand Lakes“, the Finnish metal icons are honouring the work with a unique live recording that belongs in every AMORPHIS fan’s collection. Powerful, passionate and unforgettable: the band is in top form with this live album/concert film and transports the magic of this classic from the Tavastia Club (Helsinki, Finland) to living rooms around the world. „Tales From The Thousand Lakes (Live At Tavastia)“ can be ordered here from today as a CD+Blu-ray digipak or coloured 2LP in gatefold and can also be purchased and streamed digitally: https://amorphis.rpm.link/taleslivePR
To celebrate the day, a third excerpt from the album is now available on YouTube in the form of ‚Into Hiding‘. Celebrate the release with AMORPHIS here:
„‚Into Hiding‘ had the working title ‚Rintamäkeläiset‘, as its opening melody is somewhat reminiscent of that old Finnish TV series,“ smiles lead guitarist Esa Holopainen. „The song itself was hugely popular back then and still regularly finds its way onto our setlist today. Who can resist such a mix of old Finnish film music, death metal, Arabic sounds and BLACK SABBATH? And the bass solo, which should not be overlooked, does the rest!“
Bringing an entire album to the stage in chronological order is not an everyday occurrence. Such an event revives old times and brings unforgettable experiences back into focus. Who hasn’t been influenced by the breathtaking spiritual splendour of „Tales From The Thousand Lakes“ in the long term? With their second studio album, AMORPHIS created an eternal monument to Finnish mythology, nature and music, which is still surrounded by a touching, inspiring and lasting aura today.
„Tales From The Thousand Lakes (Live At Tavastia)“ underpins AMORPHIS‘ unrivalled dynamism and artistic uniqueness, because rarely has the raw energy and emotional depth of a live performance been captured as tangibly as with this special concert film.
