This song is Finnish mythology, about the character Ilmarinen. In Finnish mythology, he was a blacksmith, and crafted the dome of the sky, hence Skyforger...

Not all ppl understand one thing what is going on in with this band... is that its all from Finnish mythology, like the Bee, making castles in heads of kings and rise again to the light, the honey is :)!
Listen and learn, and so on :)
Amorphis - Amongst Stars is a must that is from their newest album. Features a guest vocalist as well! :)
Amorphis is great and what could be even better??? Join Anneke to it, simply beautiful
Queen Of Time is a masterpiece.
Indeed, what a great album
Thats realy a amazing song, but i rather recommend Daughter of Hate since that's my absolute favorite
While I do think Amongst Stars would be a great reaction video to watch, I really (I mean REALLY) would like Vin and Sori try to analyze the lyrics of The Bee.
Yeah some Amorphis! Just so you know. The band doesn't write their own lyrics, they have a lyricist write them. And nearly all of their lyrics are based upon the Finnish epic poem "The Kalevla "
Nicholas Lindsey Yes, the lyrics thing is correct from 2006’s Eclipse on. Amorphis is great!
Nicholas Lindsey Esa, guitarist, writes some of the lyrics but yes, there is another person that writes a lot for them.
🇫🇮
Raijin-ryu X24 Esa hasn't written any lyrics since Elegy I don't think.
Matti Fagerström Even before that it was either inspired by Finnish myths or the lyrics were just straightup lifted poems. Almost all of Thousand Lakes is traditional poems.
Amorphis are huge in Europe, been around for coming up on thirty years, like 15 very successful albums, headlining tons of huge festivals etc. Rightfully so, too. They're amazing.
Finally some epic tunes from the land of a thousand lakes. Amorphis' songs are often based on the Finnish national epic called Kalevala. This song tells the story of Ilmarinen, one of the heroes of Kalevala, griefing over his slain wife. Try songs like The Gathering, My Kantele, House of Sleep, The Smoke, Death of a King and Amongst Stars.
The Smoke it's a great song, please Review it
Don't forget The Bee or even Daughter of Hate. Man, are those songs amazing!
Death of a King is a definite winner, huge song, got me back into Amorphis
I thought France or Germany was the country of a thousand lakes. Finnland was more the country of woods to me just like Austria and Norway are the countries of cold mountains.
@@DarkturtleXthen u are wrong. Finland have so much more lakes that france and Germany together. Study lil bit 😂
Amorphis are some of the finest songwriters, simple yet perfect, mature, evocative, everything. You guys will also love The Bee lyrically.
ILMARINEN, metal-worker,
Wept one day, and then a second,
Wept the third from morn till evening,
O'er the death of his companion,
Once the Maiden of the Rainbow;
Did not swing his heavy hammer,
Did not touch its copper handle,
Made no sound within his smithy,
Made no blow upon his anvil,
Till three months had circled over;
Then the blacksmith spake as follows:
"Woe is me, unhappy hero!
Do not know how I can prosper;
Long the days, and cold, and dreary,
Longer still the nights, and colder;
I am weary in the evening,
In the morning still am weary,
Have no longing for the morning,
And the evening is unwelcome;
Have no pleasure in the future,
All my pleasures gone forever,
With my faithful life-companion
Slaughtered by the hand of witchcraft!
Often will my heart-strings quiver
When I rest within my chamber,
When I wake at dreamy midnight,
Half-unconscious, vainly searching
For my noble wife departed."
Wifeless lived the mourning blacksmith,
Altered in his form and features;
Wept one month and then another,
Wept three months in full succession.
Then the magic metal-worker
Gathered gold from deeps of ocean,
Gathered silver from the mountains,
Gathered many heaps of birch-wood.
Filled with faggots thirty sledges,
Burned the birch-wood into ashes,
Put the ashes in the furnace,
Laid the gold upon the embers,
Lengthwise laid a piece of silver
Of the size of lambs in autumn,
Or the fleet-foot hare in winter;
Places servants at the bellows,
Thus to melt the magic metals.
Eagerly the servants labor,
Gloveless, hatless, do the workmen
Fan the flames within the furnace.
Ilmarinen, magic blacksmith,
Works unceasing at his forging,
Thus to mould a golden image,
Mould a bride from gold and silver;
But the workmen fail their master,
Faithless stand they at the bellows.
Wow the artist, Ilmarinen,
Fans the flame with force of magic,
Blows one day, and then a second,
Blows the third from morn till even;
Then he looks within the furnace,
Looks around the oven-border,
Hoping there to see an image
Rising from the molten metals.
Comes a lambkin from the furnace,
Rising from the fire of magic,
Wearing hair of gold and copper,
Laced with many threads of silver;
All rejoice but Ilmarinen
At the beauty of the image.
This the language of the blacksmith:
"May the wolf admire thy graces;
I desire a bride of beauty
Born from molten gold and silver!"
Ilmarinen, the magician,
To the furnace threw the lambkin;
Added gold in great abundance,
And increased the mass of silver,
Added other magic metals,
Set the workmen at the bellows;
Zealously the servants labor,
Gloveless, hatless, do the workmen
Fan the flames within the furnace.
Ilmarinen, wizard-forgeman,
Works unceasing with his metals,
Moulding well a golden image,
Wife of molten gold and silver;
But the workmen fail their master,
Faithless do they ply the bellows.
Now the artist, Ilmarinen,
Fans the flames by force of magic;
Blows one day, and then a second,
Blows a third from morn till evening,
When he looks within the furnace,
Looks around the oven-border,
Hoping there, to see an image
Rising from the molten metals.
From the flames a colt arises,
Golden-maned and silver-headed,
Hoofs are formed of shining copper.
All rejoice but Ilmarinen
At the wonderful creation;
This the language of the blacksmith;
"Let the bears admire thy graces;
I desire a bride of beauty
Born of many magic metals."
Thereupon the wonder-forger
Drives the colt back to the furnace,
Adds a greater mass of silver,
And of gold the rightful measure,
Sets the workmen at the bellows.
Eagerly the servants labor,
Gloveless, hatless, do the workmen
Fan the flames within the furnace.
Ilmarinen, the magician,
Works unceasing at his witchcraft,
Moulding well a golden maiden,
Bride of molten gold and silver;
But the workmen fail their master,
Faithlessly they ply the bellows.
Now the blacksmith, Ilmarinen,
Fans the flames with magic powers,
Blows one day, and then a second,
Blows a third from morn till even;
Then he looks within his furnace,
Looks around the oven-border,
Trusting there to see a maiden
Coming from the molten metals.
From the fire a virgin rises,
Golden-haired and silver-headed,
Beautiful in form and feature.
All are filled with awe and wonder,
But the artist and magician.
Ilmarinen, metal-worker,
Forges nights and days unceasing,
On the bride of his creation;
Feet he forges for the maiden,
Hands and arms, of gold and silver;
But her feet are not for walking,
Neither can her arms embrace him.
Ears he forges for the virgin,
But her ears are not for hearing;
Forges her a mouth of beauty,
Eyes he forges bright and sparkling;
But the magic mouth is speechless,
And the eyes are not for seeing.
Spake the artist, Ilmarinen:
"This, indeed, a priceless maiden,
Could she only speak in wisdom,
Could she breathe the breath of Ukko!"
Thereupon he lays the virgin
On his silken couch of slumber,
On his downy place of resting.
Ilmarinen heats his bath-room,
Makes it ready for his service,
Binds together silken brushes,
Brings three cans of crystal water,
Wherewithal to lave the image,
Lave the golden maid of beauty.
When this task had been completed,
Ilmarinen, hoping, trusting,
Laid his golden bride to slumber,
On his downy couch of resting;
Ordered many silken wrappings,
Ordered bear-skins, three in number,
Ordered seven lambs-wool blankets,
Thus to keep him warm in slumber,
Sleeping by the golden image
Re had forged from magic metals.
Warm the side of Ilmarinen
That was wrapped in furs and blankets;
Chill the parts beside the maiden,
By his bride of gold and silver;
One side warm, the other lifeless,
Turning into ice from coldness.
Spake the artist, Ilmarinen:
"Not for me was born this virgin
From the magic molten metals;
I shall take her to Wainola,
Give her to old Wainamoinen,
As a bride and life-companion,
Comfort to him in his dotage."
Ilmarinen, much disheartened,
Takes the virgin to Wainola,
To the plains of Kalevala,
To his brother speaks as follows:
"O, thou ancient Wainamoinen,
Look with favor on this image;
Make the maiden fair and lovely,
Beautiful in form and feature,
Suited to thy years declining!"
Wainamoinen, old and truthful,
Looked in wonder on the virgin,
On the golden bride of beauty,
Spake these words to Ilmarinen:
"Wherefore dost thou bring this maiden,
Wherefore bring to Wainamoinen
Bride of molten gold and silver?
Spake in answer Ilmarinen:
"Wherefore should I bring this image,
But for purposes the noblest?
I have brought her as companion
To thy life in years declining,
As a joy and consolation,
When thy days are full of trouble!"
Spake the good, old Wainamoinen:
"Magic brother, wonder-forger,
Throw the virgin to the furnace,
To the flames, thy golden image,
Forge from her a thousand trinkets.
Take the image into Ehstland,
Take her to the plains of Pohya,
That for her the mighty powers
May engage in deadly contest,
Worthy trophy for the victor;
Not for me this bride of wonder,
Neither for my worthy people.
I shall never wed an image
Born from many magic metals,
Never wed a silver maiden,
Never wed a golden virgin."
Then the hero of the waters
Called together all his people,
Spake these words of ancient wisdom:
"Every child of Northland, listen,
Whether poor, or fortune-favored:
Never bow before an image
Born of molten gold and silver:
Never while the sunlight brightens,
Never while the moonlight glimmers,
Choose a maiden of the metals,
Choose a bride from gold created
Cold the lips of golden maiden,
Silver breathes the breath of sorrow."
That's the English part that talks about the Blacksmith Ilmarinen's golden bride. Of our national epic in English, the Kalevala www.jrbooksonline.com/PDF_Books_added2009-2/Kalevala.pdf
Btw I jam with the Amorphis - The Bee, you guys should check it out :)
I'm seeing Amorphis live tomorrow, with Dark Tranquility. Super pumped.
Patrick Tracy they play my area October 6th
I hate you so much haha
Saw them in Detroit last year. They killed it! Loved them for 20-some years and was the first time I saw them live.
Brendo I have had a super fortunate year in terms of tons of metal acts coming through my town. Almost too many for me to get to all the shows. I hope you have the opportunity to catch your favorite bands live!
Patrick Tracy I live in very rural part of Australia, so bands never come within 400 miles or so. I travel one or two times a year to a show
But my Facebook group is my way to discuss/share bands
Yes! We finally arrive at Amorphis, one of my favourite Finnish bands! Love this album and especially this song. One of their best without a doubt. This song/album is based on the Finnish epic book Kalevala and some stories from its characters. It's brilliant stuff, really. This one is based on Ilmarinen, a blacksmith that forged the "sky". Amorphis is incredible like this but the lyrics are english translation of the Finnish poems of the Kalevala and were not translated and written by the band members but another person. You should check The Bee from their 2018 album. Arguably my song of the year :D
My suggestion: Pain of Salvation - A Trace of Blood
Pain Of Salvation is a must!
My favorites from them are Reconciliation and Idioglossia
Pain Of Salvation's singer is one of the best rock/metal singers of all-time, no joke. I'd love to see Vin and Sori do a PoS reaction :)
Paavo Savola Yes, PoS is a must for them :) And the song I chose will give Vin and Sori a lot, and I mean a LOT to talk about.
sopwithsnoopy Yeah, me too! Been suggesting them in the videos I watch for a while. I admit I don't watch every single video or been in any fireside chat but on every video I watch I like to give a comment on the song they're reviewing and then suggest A Trace of Blood :)
Amorphis . Black winter day. Best song
U guys are gonna enjoy life even more now that you've found Amorphis! No joke. Grew up loving their old stuff, now love their new stuff! They create an atmosphere better than any band. You've found a gem to be sure!
Alright, now an actual comment.... what I love about Amorphis is that I can like, place their last 7 albums on "shuffle" and just randomly listen to their songs, and i'd be entertained and enjoy it. Although i'd say 1 of those albums is weaker (and then place the others in 2 tiers at a high level of quality), their stuff is just consistently good.
The music is just enjoyable, it's not extreme, it's very melodic, it's very "friendly" in my opinion... just good stuff. But like that's not "impressive" enough, before all of this, they had some albums playing a somewhat different style, and 1 of them in particular, "Tales from a Thousand Lakes" is a classic in MeloDeath as well.
And this leads me to say, there are a few other scandinavian Bands you need to listen to, because Scandinavian Metal is awesome (even if you don't like Opeth, haha). Katatonia comes to mind (a different Vibe, but also a very consistent band.. who played a totally different style at the start of their career), but you haven't even listened to Dark Tranquillity, Insomnium, etc..
Shit, I'd suggest you have a "Scandinavian week", like you had the Ladies Week and such.
Scandinavian week! Yes please!!
Yes Scandinavian Metal Week!!!!
I agree entirely
Fennoskandia,so we get also Finland in the mix. 😊
YES for Scandinavian week, For Dark Tranquility I suggest Insanity's Crescendo
I am really happy to see you review Amorphis, this was one of the first metal bands that I felt in love, 24 years ago. Most of their albuns songs are based on Kalevala, the Finnish epic poetry book compilation of oral folklore an mythology. This particular song is based on one of the main characters, named Ilmarinen. He was a skillful blacksmith that created objects of great power. This is an amazing album, give a listen to 'House of Sleep', and for a even sadder song, 'Silent Waters'.
Since I am here on the comment section, I'd like to also suggest a band to review, I don't think you have done a video of them yet. Check out the band Paradise Lost, I love the song 'One Second' or the beautiful oldie "Enchantment", also fitting for the chanel 'Faith Divide Us - Death Units Us".
Oh my god, I'm a huge PL fan, that would be fucking awesome!
House of Sleep or Paradise Lost reaction will be incredible!!!
WOW
Finally somebody requested Paradise Lost!
I've never seen anyone reacting to them, which would be so cool
Nossa! Alguém que curte Paradise Lost e Amorphis? 😨 Duas excelentes bandas.
(Brasileira ou portuguesa?)
@@vicenteraira Portuguesa ^^
MY DYING BRIDE "The Cry of Mankind"
"She is the Dark", "My Hope, the Destroyer"
"The Sexuality of Bereavement"
"Your Shameful Heaven", "Your River"
PARADISE LOST "Embers Fire"
"Christendom", "No Hope In Sight"
"The Longest Winter", "Gothic"
"Shattered", "Mortals Watch the Day", "As I Die"
Cobra Commander Embers Fire or Shades of god.
They are a Finnish band that started in the 90’s and most of their songs are written based from the Kalevala.
I’m not one who requested this song but I have on several occasions requested this band. Esa, the guitarist writes some of the lyrics and another artist named Pekka Kainulainen write some of the lyrics as well. Pekka does all kinds of art, paintings, sculptures etc. He’s not technically a member of the band but has written a lot of the lyrics.
Next song, the Bee, it’s from their 2018 album Queen of Time. Thanks
More Amorphis!
We need more Amorphis!
I discovered Amorphis 3 months ago when Jinjer announced that they were touring with them in 2019. Amorphis is a great band that churn out awesome tunes. Every know and then I get excited when I discover new bands that are above in talent from the rest and Amorphis is one of them. I very much enjoyed every second of this reaction while of course sitting on my comfy couch man spreading and all. Awesome song choice, keep them coming. Thanks V&S 🤟🏼
Finally! An awesome Finnish band! You also need to listen to hallatar, Swallow The Sun, Hanging Garden, Katatonia, Paradise Lost, Insomnium, Ghost Brigade, Trees of Eternity 😁
Yes to all of those :) I'd especially like to see them do Trees Of Eternity as long as Vin and Sori know that the singer was dying of cancer while they were making the album. It just adds another level of sadness to those songs :(
@@sopwithsnoopy8779 definitely! Also with Hallatar, how Juha wrote that album using the poetry Aleah Starbridge wrote as it's lyrics! Not to mention Tomi (Amorphis) sings on this record. Vin and Sori should listen to My Mistake or Mirrors 😊
I would add Be'lakor to this list too!!!
Great choice of bands there. The Giant by StS is one of my all-time favourite songs.
My first time seeing yalls reactiom channel, and yall earned a sub from me. I've known about and listened to Silver Bride since it first premiered. Been a huge fan of Amorphis since Tomi Joutsen became their lead vocalist. Loved y'alls reaction to this. So heartbreaking and raw, especially his roaring growls at the ending.
Please react this same band's song "The bee"
Amorphis isso awesome. They use legends of Finland in theirs lyrics, but theirs instruments and the voice was the main point. You should try as soon as possible the songs The Bee or Death of a King
Oooh! Finally someone covering one of my favorite bands! I'm so glad you guys did Amorphis, and part of one of their best albums. If you can check out Sampo off the same album later on I'd bet y'all would enjoy it.
Finland man, i told you, it's an endless pool of metal mastery :)
About the woman who was pouring bleach on people in the subway - I say do what you have to do, but accept the consequences. Pouring caustic chemicals on people is assault.
Greetings from Finland! - The land of melancholy & lakes. Great that you picked our boys Amorphis and this song! Great one to start your love with them! Knew instantly when I saw what video was up that Sori will get tears in her eyes :'D
Whoever suggested this Band and song, good work! Great song!
LOVE AMORPHIS!!! One of my favorite bands. Great live!!!
Tiamat - Whatever That Hurts
Bathory - Oden's Ride Over Nordland/A Fine Day to Die
(the former one is a little instrumental piece that plays before the latter on the album and they really ought to be enjoyed together!)
Yes!! Finally Amorphis, thank you so much for this! If you do more Amorphis, I recommed 'The Bee' from the latest album. That lyric video is awesome and the sound is pure eargasm.
Another great band. Thanks guys....!
Amorphis is soooo melodic. The music video to this song is also beautiful.
Seeing Amorphis for the 2nd time live here in Florida on october 5th. Super excited! 🖤
Amorphis: The Bee, Amongst Stars. You gonna like these and many others.
Amorphis still surprises me how consistently good their quality and creativity is after nearly 30 years of being together. The Bee blew easily to my Top5 songs ever by this band.
Love your format, i like your in-depth discussions about how you felt and what you think about songs and lyrics. Only reactions channel worth following in RUclips, just for this.
Obligatorily, 666th like on the video ;)
Amorphis 💜
I agree. ❤
Thank you Vin & Sori, I am a long time listener and subscriber, and really enjoy your reviews. I had never heard Amorphis before, but really enjoyed this, thank you for introducing me to them, and all your hard work to produce both quality and quantity of content. Very happy subscriber and fan.
Thank you !!
Enjoy their lengthy and very varied discography!
Please do Amorphis - Silent Waters - Live at Huvila!
I love how vin plays down what he really thinks!lol💜Sori is always lovely🦋💫
You two are sooo cool!
Do The All Finnish Week!! Finnish people are quite hard working, silent but very emotional. And I say that it's also heard in finnish metal. The best place to hear finnish metal, alone in the forest, enjoying nature, just watching the view...
Yes! More Amorphis!
"That's some sad shit man..." hahahahahah I always laugh my ass off when vin says it.
Amorphis has been MA SHIT for more than 10 years now. Cheers from Brazil ♥ 🇧🇷
Yes!!! More Amorphis
SEPTICFLESH🤘SEPTICFLESH🤘SEPTICFLESH
Portrait of a headless man (official video)
Anubis
Vampire from Nazareth
Prometheus
Martyr
Virtues of the beast
Sangreal
🤘PLEASE!🤘
Been listening to Amorphis since early 90s. Saw them live 2 weeks ago. One of the greatest bands and singers that stands the test of time
Dissection - The Somberlain
Watain - Sworn to the Dark / Devil’s Blood
The Devil’s Blood - She
The Somberlain.. classic. I would recommend Night's Blood.
This is the song that made me get into Amorphis. This entire album is amazing. Great melodies, great instrumentation. Try "Skyforger" or "The Sky is Mine" off the same album. Great reaction!
lol, i literally just got back from seeing amorphis live and come home to this.
MOONSPELL "Tenebrarum Oratorium [ Andamento I ]" & "Tenebrarum Oratorium [ Andamento II ]"
from 1994 EP "UNDER THE MOONSPELL"
(not to be confused with the re-recorded versions featuring in 2007 compilation "Under Satanae").
Amorphis is such a consistent band that you can pretty much start anywhere and hear something good. Excellent mix of melody and just enough aggression at the right moments to put an exclamation to a certain part.
Finnish bands in general that use melody use it really well. It seems to be a trademark of the Finnish sound to use melodic leads as a focus rather than a guitar riff. You see it in a band like Insomnium as well.
I see them live OMG they are soooooo fucking amazing they sound just like the studio 🤘🤘 amorphis best band ever!!!!
I love this song.
I attended the Amorphis concert together with Children Of Bodom here in Brazil in 2009. I did not know the band and I was impressed. Whenever I listen to this song and Leaves Scar I remember this show and I miss that day haha
Dang RUclips is messed up again - no notifications! Not your fault I know guys. Keep up the great work!
Epica - Consign to Oblivion (Live at the Zenith)
Northward - While Love Died
Death - Spiritcrusher
...more Fear Factory!!
The Bee. THE BEE! React to THE BEE from Amorphis and breakdown that song. That would be interesting.
Ah yes Amorphis is such a good band. Also their lyrics are pretty close to a translation of the Kalevala which is an epic Finnish poem so sometimes they don't make too much sense as lyrics when it comes to rhyming bug pretty interesting lyrics nonetheless.
161: EPICA - Consign to Oblivion (Live at the Zenith)
LINDEMANN - Praise Abort (Official Video)
Yesss finally some Amorphis!!
I would recommend:
My Kantele
Majestic Beast
Silent Waters
The Smoke
Love you guys
Relatively small or relatively big. Your channel always give me a gig. You are such a lovely couple
I absolutely love this band. I discovered them a long time ago but somewhere down the line forgot about them. Last year however, my love for this band came back hard and I saw them live 4 times. Bought tickets for 4 of their januari/februari tour. Once I was in a wheelchair for a short while after a silly accident and we went to a show. Esa came and gave me one of his picks afterwards, amazing show. I like their song Under the red cloud a lot, it has everything that makes this band great. Keep it up!
Amorphis - "The Way" or "Alone"
Katatonia - Journey Through Pressure
Saw this band in Toronto last year, it was amazing.
This is one of my favorite songs ever, I'm glad to see you both listen to it!
I think you should do "In The Dark" by The Birthday Massacre, I do think Sori will love this one.
Moonsorrow - Raunioilla
Surprised I haven't seen any other calls for Moonsorrow tracks on here to be honest - they are awesome. Quite similar to Amorphis in a lot of ways (both are Finnish for one...)
Amorphis is one of my fav of all time.
Check out their early work - absolute classic.
Amorphis was one on the first live-concerts for me in the year 1994, started as a melodic Death Metal Band. I still love them
WOW ! Love it. Never heard of them. Very epic sounding like maiden ish in a way. I want to check out more of these guys.
Good call . Impressive
Amorphis are one of my favourite bands. Got to see them here in Oz a couple years ago...so good
Just took my 8 year old girl to see them a few weeks ago. Her favourite band.
Black winter day will remain Amorphis greatest song ever
Amorphis - Amongst Stars, its such a beautiful and epic song!
Another great concept album telling the story of Kullervo.
F*** yeah! Love Amorphis! These guys, Opeth , Katatonia, and Meshuggah are the sh**.
Finally Amorphis! Please react to song called Silent Waters or The Bee. You love it. The vocalist, Tomi Joutsen is a master in clean vocals and growling. The melodies from the lead guitarist, Esa Holopainen are simple but brilliant.
Always good to see an Amorphis reaction. Death of a King is probably one of the best to review, it has all the elements that make this such a great band
Amorphis is an astonishing band, I love them a lot.
I totally recommend "Sky is Mine" by them.
It is an all time favorite song of mine, especially when I need to be uplifted.
This song is about Ilmarinen, one the three main heros of the Finnish Epos, Kalevala, and the griefing over his slain wife.
Ilmarinen married the oldest daughter of Louhi, mistress of the Northland. One day he buys a slave, Kullervo, as aid on his farm. His wife manages to provoke and anger Kullervo, and he kills her.
Ilmarinen is in deep grief, and decides to forge himself a subsitute from gold and silver, but this golden bride is lifeless and cold, so he casts her away again.
Amorphis is an awesome band. I saw them live twice here in Europe. Now they are touring in U.S. with three bands. Moonspell .from my neighbour Portugal and Dark Tranquillity from Sweeden. I don't know Omnium Gatherum. But, Amorphis, Moonspell and Dark Tranquillity are really really good. Search Sky is mine of Amorphis from live dvd.
AMORPHIS - Silent Waters (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)
To watch the singer Tomi Joutsen's expressions in this video is unbelievable. It's a close up on his face the most part. So much emotion and power. You can even see the tears in his eyes near the end of the video.
This song has my feelings running all over the place.
Not a single F... was given...
Just seen them with dark tranquility and moonspell. Great show
once i was in their concert, they are gods. They have songs where they use Finnish folk music, sounds so good, very beautiful
You need more amorphis songs like now
If you wanna see them live, they're playing with Ne Obliviscaris and Wintersun on Oct 13 if you can get to Massachusetts. Also playing with some other bands I don't think you've gotten to yet, Dark Tranquility, Moonspell, Omnium Gatherum, and Sarah Longfield. I'd be there forsure if I wasn't on the other side of the country. But you guys are a bit closer than I am. If you can't make it to that though they're still touring with Dark Tranquility, Moonspell, and Omnium Gatherum all over North America right now - October, just without NeO, Wintersun, and Sarah Longfield. Hope you guys can make it to a show
Yes, finally! Now give me som Be'lakor! Sori, I love that you really feel the music, you have great taste!
this song was awesome! thanks to you guys I found a new band to listen to! by the way, I really enjoy the conversations about relationships. I've been with my wife for over 10 years and we do literally everything together. I can't imagine losing my best friend. thank you guys for another video! by the way, my wife has to deal with my crazy music while im in the shower too lmao
great react again vin and sori. i always like this band and this song but im never really thinking whats this songs about,thanx u do it for me,im too lazy. very great react like always.great day there both.
If you do another Amorphis song, you should do Amongst Stars with Anneke van Giersbergen on guest vocals! One of the best songs of 2018 for sure! ;) And if you do, you should do the official video, which is equally awesome! Horns up!
Excellent. Amorphis, about time. Please input more Scandinavian Metal!
The lyrics remind me of the Black Mirror episode where the woman's boyfriend dies, and she orders a cyborg that looks and acts like him. But of course, a robot cannot replace a person, something will always be off. The episode is called "Be Right Back."
Please listen to Summoning - Land of the Dead.
I'm one who requested this band :) If you have the time, make an album reaction to the album in question, "Skyforge"....
" I who have forged the heavens
I also have my king
To northland I was sent
I was cast to distant Pohjola
Enforced by my king's spells
His orders undenied
From the small crumbs of earth
From a fleece of summer ewe
From a memory of a single seed
From the flair of a swan's feather
I let the milk come seeping from the heaven
Heaven of my heart... "
Good pick guys, Amorphis has some great tunes, based on Finnish lores.
Yesssss please react to more amorphis!
