“Tales From the Thousand Lakes (Live at Tavastia)” will be released on July 12th, 2024, via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM), this release manifests Amorphis’ unparalleled dynamism and artistic uniqueness. Rarely has the raw power and emotional depth of a live performance been captured so authentically as on this sonic memento and extraordinary concert film.
Get in the mood for the upcoming “Tales…” celebrations with the band’s “Drowned Maid” live video, which is also part of the forthcoming Blu-ray.
“‘Drowned Maid’ is classic 90s crossover Amorphis. Retrospectively, sporting primitive keyboards and sound effects, the marriage of doomy death metal and folk-prog somehow does the trick”, recalls bassist Olli-Pekka Laine. “This song was a live favorite back then, and it’s still a pleasure to play it to this day”!

“Tales From the Thousand Lakes (Live at Tavastia)” will be available in the following formats:
