Amorphis - Queen of Time [Red Vinyl]

It's been 3 decades since Amorphis changed the metal world forever with their second album Tales From The Thousand Lakes; an epic piece of work that paved the way for one of the most successful Finnish music careers of all time. Amorphis has brought us closer to the Finnish national epic, the "Kalevala", toured the world several times, received countless gold records and managed to achieve success after success with their unmistakable mix of metal, folklore and rock. With their fateful thirteenth studio album Queen Of Time, the band provided a ground-breaking epic about the rise and fall of civilization. Attentive listeners may have expected a further rise in the level of heaviness after the release of their last record (culminating in 2015 in the phenomenal and acclaimed Under The Red Cloud), but Amorphis has changed the game once more. The band, which in recent years has refined and improved it's iconic style, now opens a breathtaking new chapter. One thing is already certain: Amorphis has never before told their stories of the thousand lakes as complex, as enthralling, as inventive and monumental as on Queen Of Time. Guesting on the album is the likes of Chrigel Glanzmann (Eluveitie) on pipes, laryngeal singer Albert Kuvezin and saxophonist Jørgen Munkeby, plus an orchestra and a choir (a novelty for a band now in their 30th year)! These elements deliver a dramatic and cinematic depth to the sound, making everything even more epic, even deeper, and even more meaningful than ever before.
