Deffinitely Tuonela. It's were a new age of Amorphis began. Where the heavy metal age began.

Also Eclipse, but listen to it in teh last place. not because it's a bad album, because it's indeed a great album too, but because it's good to do a historic review of teh albums. Check first Tuonela, and continue in chronologic order. You'll notice a great evolution in the band

I don't recomend you the first ones because personally I'm not much into them. I prefer them from Tuonela till present.

@ +{Cat Eyes}+ : thanks for the recommendation. I'll search for those albums with priority.

Dude, I think you would prefer their first album, The Karelian Isthmus. The other albums are either boring or not death metal. Knowing your tastes, I think you might like that one better.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I'd certainly prefer Death metal first, but I don't know much about the band, so I follow others in listening to this band.
Could you describe their death metal to me? I mean, if they are similar to any bands, and their music..

PS. which of their albums are Death metal? only that one?

@Paganblood - The Karelian Isthmas is a melodic death metal album, kinda similar to Amon Amarth. It's real melodic death metal, not the watered-down Gothenburg "melodeath" bullshit. The vocals are low and powerful, and the music is very structured. I'm not saying that their other albums are bad, but I'm almost positive that you would like that album the most.

Thanks for the description; if so, I might like this album more than the others, I'll try downloading this one first then

You should like Tales too, a bit more melodic, but still really death metal.

Personally, I voted for Elegy (the only vote for now), but Tales is a close second.
For me Elegy is the perfect blend of all amorphis influences.

I didn't listen to Amorphis albums so much but I think the Tales From a Thousand Lakes is the best album I've heard...melodic death is fine for me

It's Tales From A Thousand Lakes vs Eclipse, for me. From those to albums, I enjoy "Eclipse" the most, so my vote goes to "Eclipse", although TFATL is a classic too!

Yes, their 'Tales...' is really great, I voted for that one.. their 'the karelian..' is also nice but the atmosphere is really dull-sounding.

Tales From A Thousand Lakes is an absolute clasics.

yeah it is classic and i think Silent Watters would eb awesome album too

I hope it will be awesome, because I'm really looking forward to the album. From what I've heard from the single, it will be really good, but we still have to wait a little longer.

Had to go with TFTTL. Compared to their other material, it's the only album that really stuck with me.

I heard some other songs from the "Silent Waters" record. They are awesome, I won't say much more. Just wait until you hear them yourselfs!

bad boy, well i heard album too but no coment till ačlbums officialy out

I prefer the voice of the new singer.

yeah he have great voice, pasi did too but in last hes labum Far From The Sun he wasn't so good maybe that reason why they change singer

Just heard new album (thanx to Hanna Of Steel!), and I really like it, maybe candidate for my all time favorite, although I didn't listen to other albums enough to be sure in such question, I didn't vote too

so go and listen them, start with Tales and Eclipse and etc..... im sure u'll love them

Their performance on Wacken was just great. Too bad they didn't play any songs of the new record.

well i heard they played very good show at wacked, but some dude also said they sucked i don't trust him, hmmm i think i saw Silent Watters on setlist

Eclipse without doubt. Amorphis is not one of my favourite bands and will be less favourite if they have not released such piece of fine metal art. "Elegy" and "Far from the Sun" are also smashing. I do not like Tuonela and despite public surveys I do not find "Tales of 1000 lakes" so "so".

Tales from the Thousand Lakes for me! I love that release. So much in fact, that it is the only Amorphis album I currently own lol.

No Silent Waters?... Its a great album.

I chose Elegy because it captures that groovy guitar and jam sound that Amorphis is so good at. On Rich and Poor is a classic for me and Relief is one of my favorite instrumentals...:D

I chose Tales, then felt like i should have chosen Elegy, then Tuonela...
very hard to decide!

Any news on Amorphis' first live DVD release?

Anyone have this bootleg of Amorphis?
