To celebrate the 30th anniversary of their landmark album Tales From The Thousand Lakes, Amorphis is releasing a live recording that sets new standards in brilliance and intensity. Set for release on July 12th via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM) on CD+Blu-ray and vinyl, the performance was shot at the iconic Tavastia club in Helsinki, Finland.
Performing the legendary album in its entirety, Amorphis captures a pivotal moment in time, evoking the breathtaking and spiritual beauty of Tales From The Thousand Lakes. This album, a monument to Finnish mythology and nature, remains as touching and inspiring today as it was in 1994.
In advance of the release, the band has revealed “Black Winter Day” from the forthcoming Blu-ray.
Bassist Olli-Pekka Laine shared the following:
Back in 1994, ‘Black Winter Day’ was a somewhat different song among the other Tales… material,” reminisces AMORPHIS bassist Olli-Pekka Laine. “Being probably the first death metal song with a waltz time signature and a Moog synthesizer, it truly stood out at the time. Three decades later, ‘Black Winter Day’ still resonates with metal audiences around the globe and plays a crucial role in the saga of AMORPHIS!
