1994, cassette, walkman, teenage girl walking to take the bus to school, and this amazing album in the ears!!!!! Amorphis literally made me fall in love with black metal 😍 and this was their best album period.
perfect words!
Steady
It's not a black metal album at all but it's a great one for sure. Defintely agreed tho, I think this is their best.
@@RetroDeathReviews666 Yes, I agreed
But in the 90s, the peak of the black metal season began, especially in the Scandinavian region
2024 and 47 years old, 30 years passed away and listened this album again and again, this makes me adolescent in ever song.
Forgive me, I'm old and just love the "old" of Amorphis.
Make it 2!!
There is no thing to forgive. They're timeless.
The older the berry the better Amorphis sounds. I effed up that saying didn't i
I like this 👌
You are forgiven! 🙃 Very understandable
Best melodic/death album ever. Every track is an immortal masterpiece.
Exactly what I wanted to write 🤘
True
At the Heart of Winter is Immortal masterpiece :)
It's a doom-metal
@@sergeyklimenkov Are we that much caring about the actual designation tho.. idk, might be right.
In nineteens of last century was a gold time of doom metal bands, such as:Paradise Lost "Gothic"(1991),Tiamat "Clouds"(1992)/"Wild honey"1994, Crematory "Just Dreaming..."(1994), Amorphis "Tales from the thousand lakes"(1994),Septic flesh "Mystic places of down"(1994)/"Future belongs to the brave"(1997),Lake of Tears"Headstones"(1995),Cemetary of scream"Melancholy"(1995),Anathema "Pentecost III"(1993),Theater of tragedy"Theater of tragedy" (1995),My dying Bride - "Turn loose the swans"(1993),Type O'Negative"Bloody kisses"(1991)/"October rust"(1996), Edge of Sanity "Crimson"(1996)/CrimsonII"(1997) Therion "Theli"(1996),In the woods" Heart of the Ages" (1995),Katatonia - "Brave Murder Day"- (1996).All are they were a masterpieces albums of that time till our days and forever...
List of all my earliest influences.
THANKS, THANKS TO YOU AN UNKNOWN MAN FROM THE INTERNET, YOU OPENED FOR ME ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS WHICH I EVER LISTEN TO
Great list, man!
@@user-bo1cx5rb7v Which one?
@@nathanbrown9908 All of them!
I still remember hearing this for the first time back in 96 on my local late night college radio station. I had no idea who they were so I called in asking the DJ who this band was and when I explained the highly melodic death metal band that had prominent keyboards playing with a few clean sung croons added in. The DJ tried to tell me it was Morbid Angel. I argued with him because I knew it was not Morbid Angel and because of a fledgling internet with next to no sources for heavy metal info at the time it took me another year before I was able to find out that it was Black Winter Day by Amorphis that I had heard that one late night......
Nice story man, I respect that
Arsis Fan took half a year to get the dial up to work 😂
That's a good story man. Legit. I met the boys last year and they're good dudes. Love Amorphis forever.
Definitely one of the best feelings when you find out the name of the song you heard and had in your head for a long time.
Good story. Though kids today have more ways to get to good music, I keep asking myself is there as much good new music to find at all? Internet did make stuff more accessible but also has helped those that create brainwashing garbage music. I hope I do not sound too old for saying this. I bet there were older people having a similar argument in the nineties :D
Black Winter Day is such a masterpiece!!! Almost 30 years have passed and it's still lovely!
THOSE DRUMS, THOSE RIFFS, THOSE VOCALS, THOSE COMPOSITION STRUCTURES.... UNBELIEVABLE
One of the greatest albums of the 1990s and of all time!
Brian Reddish of all time meng
Easily top 10 of metal albums period !!!!!
Which others were such great like these? Bathory? Dissection first? Was a good release. But to me there's only two albuns, later more 30 years listening Metal, albums considerable so great, a really masterpiece to me are To Mega Therion and Tales...
@@johanmauritzvannassau-sieg7878 you mean - Theli
@@johanmauritzvannassau-sieg7878 Dissection - Storm of Lights Bane
Amon Amarth - Sorrow Throughout The Nine Worlds
Paradise Lost - Draconian Times
Tiamat - A Deeper Kind of Slumber
Old Amorphis ruled. This album is a masterpiece.
agree
Luckily I got to see them in Phoenix open for entombed on this tour, I was shocked at both bands, both were transforming
This album changed/shaped Finnish metal music in a way no album has ever changed it since. Absolute classic and still sounds great.
Masterpiece!!
met
Still their best album too I reckon Stonedead1991
True!
PURE MASTERPIECE 100%
I was in my second year of college in November 1994 where my staple diet consisted of Kreator, Sodom, Metallica and Slayer. One Thursday night when a few friends and I were too broke to go out we scooped together whatever coins we could muster and bought a few cans. After a couple of hours one of the group produced a cassette recording which included Black Winter Day and Drowned Maid. I was bowled over as I'd heard nothing remotely like this in my life. Over a quarter of a century later I've their entire discography on CD and have caught them six times in concert. Little did I realise that cold night in Limerick this would be one of the greatest albums I'd ever have the privilege of listening to. Untouchable then. Untouchable now. Cheers for the upload and the trip down Memory Lane.
The intro is incredibly beautiful. Takes me back to 90s. Miss that time.
Very subtle and deep
The keyboard in Black Winter Day blows me away, even to this today. Incredible.
the best Amorphis' album EVER
Super crot crot crot crot cret wet pussy
Yes it is :0)
as well as elegy
Heard this album for the first time in the 90s. 3 years ago I met the band at the airport in Helsinki. Had a little talk to one of the band members. Those guys were just 17 / 18 years when they record this masterpiece. Incredible.
Про Amorphis впервые услышал в шикарной ночной программе Севы Боронина: Рок-интенсив!Передачи Севы были как глоток свежего воздуха,почти 30 лет прошло,а как-будто вчера было?Спасибо тебе огромное-Боронин!Где он сейчас и чем занимается?А финны просто классная банда!
The second that first note hits on the piano i am transported back to the 90's when i was a teenager discovering some great metal music.
best amorphis album ever ! pure magic !
from beginning to end, 666 percent right
I was 14 when I bought this album and now 40 still listening to this masterpiece. This album shaped me immensely as a person.
Same here !
Exactly same story
Exactly the same
I'll join the club, was '94 when I 1st heard it - now I'm 43 and still listening it monthly.
Amorphis may sound different now, but this is one of the best metal albums from any band
they sound amazing and always did...I can't really say any of their albums sound like another, they all have their quirks. Skyforger, Circle and Under the red Cloud all blasted me away when they realeased. Such great combinations of different styles mixed with melancholic deathmetal. Every album told a story about something with the songs being poems in metal disguise. For example "Shades of Grey" has to be the most beautiful description of a sunset anyone ever has made
Yeah I agree but this is real Amorphis and this album is top10 alltime albums ever made.
U should check Pasi's new band. Its called Ajattara and its awesome too :P My all time favourite song is Yhdeksäs and Verivalta
@@AgeofJP A downside to that is that they have never written their own lyrics. NEVER. The lyrics to their first 3 albums are taken from Kalevala (a finnish national epic) and for the rest they have had a writer called Pekka Kainulainen. That for me takes away a lot.
@@schade80 Pasi did pen lyrics for three entire albums, following Elegy - (and one by Antti Litmanen, is he another well-known Finnish writer?). I think Amorphis went back to Kalevala material due to the success of Tales and Elegy - good from a marketing perspective. Don't let it bum you out though, the music utterly dominates!
I remember this album when it came out, a Kid in San Jose, CA. imagining the wild wilderness of Finland. Changed my life.
:D We were a young metal band in Hollywood. Totally dug this. Then went to Finland and shot a video there! :)
Schola Catilina what band were you in?
Dude I think I went to high school w you
In san jose, ca
Did you came out of closet or wake up for metal? Whatever its great and thumbs for that.
That sound of the intro... Pure magic!
The intro should be a Korg M1. It sounds to me (as owner of it) as Piano, Universe and Tubular Bells sounds of it
It still sounds as good as it did in 1994 :-)
DJ Doc's Videos for me it sounds even better now
...your :-) is also from 90`s :D
Drowned Maid still hits the spot after all these years🤘
True metal classic, still holds up really well
you member anathema first ep 1992?i have still vinyl..........
@@MATIKAINEN100 nice!
An absolute classic.
Old Amorphis is just awesome! This is indeed their finest album!
This masterpiece turns 25 Years Old Today!! Has to be my favorite Doom Metal album ever.
26 today !!
@@luKaz895 nope, it was released the 12th of July of 1994, so it turned 26 some time ago
@ spotify says 11/9 !!
but you are right !!
One of the greatest albums ever made. Absolutely perfect.
TheVinylCorner ]]FLOW
I agree!
Black Winter days.. can not beat it... Writning this from dark autumn days in Poland... absolutely beautiful.... one of the best metal songs of any genre ever
and one of the best albums - just to be clear
Top 10 metal album of all time. From all styles of metal.
Какие еще, дружище?
Sin dudas esta dentro de mi top!!

Cant describe in words what this album makes me feel, it's part of my life story not just music. I bought it at random cause it looked "metal" from the cover. I was literally blown away and it's my no1 ever since
My favourite album of all time.
arguably for me too, though its hard to call one album my "favorite"
An masterpiece that forever will be at my top 10 of all time records!! Music from the Gods!!!
That piano is so pretty.
My very first metal cassette. Liked the cover art, bought it and changed my life...
I heard itfirst time in 1995...
so melodic... so fantastic ... I was 14 years old...
and I had just kasetteplayer...
but I dreamed always about Karelia and Finland...
Hungarian respect from Transsylvania...
Nota bene:
The melody of the song: "Drowned Maid" is like the same with a Hungarian folksong: "Kocsmára nyílik az utcaajtó..."
Respect...
I am listening it since 24 years along ...
It is fresh and new now also...
to fathers cabin...
My shelter....
thank you...

@@uriimre8360 great story! so, how is it - live in Transylvania?
@@grand_vizier_of_chaos like in a dungeon...😀
Well, will today kids remember their first itunes download? Not to mention any cover art...
The solo in Forgotten Sunrise is still as amazing as it was back in 94
Man! That song came in the comp death just in the beginning 3, i bought the cd by relapse catalog after hearing that solo. That was in 96. Lots memories of my youth
Great memories with this record. Coming from thrash metal, this (and Edge of Sanity) was the first death metal band I discovered. Still loving it, 51 years old and still grunting along :D
Considering the era this was written in, its gotta be one of the greatest melodic death metal albums of all time. It formed my music taste in the 90's and kept it there. Love it
For me it is a classic. Will always love this album ❤. Will always be in my top 2or3 of all time.
I love how high the bass is in the mix. Clear as a bell.
I like that Olli can stand out, he adds a bounce to the rhythm
6000Watt RMS in the Car and Black Winter day on the CD ...... miss that times....
Old school Amorphis, Kalmah, and Moonsorrow reignited my passion for metal. Thank you, sirs.
This Is100% Real Amorphis
Every riff on this album is simply perfect! Alltime classic!
This album!!!!always have a spot for in my heart been a fan since 17 I'm 43 now..
My favourite Amorphis album by far
Back in '95 I was listening to everything extreme metal I could find, I was searching for something but with no idea what it was, then when I heard this album I knew I had found it. Amorphis kept making music (and some of it is good) but Thousand Lakes and the accompanying Black Winter Day EP are a perfect moment in time, like they are both a maiden flight and swan song, there'll never be anything like them again. I don't know how but somehow I felt that at the time, it made me so happy and so sad at the same time.
But in my opinion Elegy is just as great in atmosphere as Thousand Lakes. Great melodies and Nordic folklore combined. After that the albums are good too, but no longer create a cold-dark-moody atmosphere
I believe that I bought this album back in 1998. This album was introduced in Korea at comparatively price, amazingly. The dark melody, touching deep down abyss of my soul was....floating around in my head all days long. Now I am listening to this song, taking myself back to 20 years back to the past. Thanks for the posting!
My first growling vocals ever heard, founded my love for metal...........nice memories........🥰
They're very humble dudes. When I met Esa I told him he's my fkn hero and he was like "what?!", he seriously gushed like he was so embarrassed. I told them all they're legends and they just shyly brushed it off and smiled politely. Like come on I'm sure they're aware of how influential they are and how many people love them. Esa imo is one of the greatest riff makers and metal songwriters of all time vastly underrated but to me he is a huge influence. And they only get better with time! \,,/
wade wilson I wish Pasi Koskinen was still with them
Thats Finnish attitude. We dont make noise ourselves. We hide in shadows……...
Esa is a very kind man :) I met him yesterday!
probably the fact that they don't see themselves as influential is what keeps them pushing their boundaries :)
@@carliiuxiiz yes that humbleness makes them more comfortable to let loose and experiment- Queen of Time is fantastic. Im meeting them again in October. Cant wait to meet Anneke, hope she does more collabs with them!
I think they know how much they influenced both Folk Metal and Melodic Death Metal, but in the typical Finnish fashion they want to see themselves as having done nothing special. Finnish culture heavily condemns narcissism, so people sort of downplay their achievements in the hopes that it'll prevent their successes from going to their heads. But I think it's for the best, otherwise they'd stop experimenting and trying to improve.
Tales From The Thousand Lakes (1994) is without question one of the coolest and most ground breaking Albums/CDs of all time! Even though it was the second studio Album by the Finnish Death metal band AMORPHIS this Album based on the classic Finnish national epic 'Kalevala' from the opening instrumental intro then to such classics as Into Hiding, The Castaway, Black Winters Day etc. There is not one bad song on the whole Album and to me it is what makes it so wonderful even in 2020 . Up until this time death metal was mostly Napalm Death, Death, Obituary etc. which is still very cool, BUT this New Finnish death metal sound was completely new and unique, and AMORPHIS has continued to put out the coolest best Progressive Death metal even to this day. i.e. 'Queen of Time' RESPECT
I've been listening to this album for almost 25 years and it still sounds great. It never gets old. A true masterpiece.
I`ve been listening this when i was 13 and now i`m 44. Still one of the best albums ever made. I`m from Finland and i`ve never seem them live. Yes please shoot me.
@@jannehalinen1826 This album came out in 1994, which is 25 years ago. If you were listening to this when you were 13, you can be 38 now, not 44.
This album is so huge you can't even describe it. Game changer from the start to the end. You can just say thank you to the musicians that gifted us this. It's one of those albums so perfect you don't even need any more of it. It's perfect.
greatest music album of all modern times, i dare say!
One of my favorite albums since 1994, Tiamat´s wildhoney, Cemetary´s Black Vanity.... as well from 94, miss the 90´s, great era...
Cemetary are so underrated. Godless beauty is in my top 3
My heart broke down when I saw this upload. This album never gets old. I love the oriental touches and the beauty of melodies. Just another musical world

welcome to the club, I know it from the 90's
Лучший альбом группы!!! Слушаю его уже больше двадцати лет!!! ;)
Самое атмосферное - это слушать этот альбом в Норильске (да и в любом заполярном городе) долгой зимней Полярной, мать её, Ночью! )))
Лично проверял! )))
@@boogabootoo Аморфис про мокрую Карелию) Беспросветное заполярье это какой-нибудь Moonsorrow)
Поддерживаю! Удачи, брат!!!
😎👍👍👍
В своё время я дал его послушать одному мэну, а он мне подогнал пласт со старым Tiamat "Clouds" 1992 г и так я начал гонять сначала его, а потом Wildhoney итд. Но вот в 1994 году мне дали Anathema Pentecost III и с анатема я больше не расстаюсь по сей день. И ещё мне подогнали кассетку с Gathering "Always" и он мне тоже зашёл, ибо полностью пропитан духом и атмосферой doom 90 годов.
Amazing classic. One of those capable to shape a genre.
And oh boy did it do exactly that. We got bands like Ensiferum, Moonsorrow, Finntroll, Turisas and Korpiklaani right after this album was released, the "big 5" of Folk metal, all formed in Finland in the mid-90's. All of it ushered in by this single album..
@@wardeni4806 if there's a genre that Tales.. was determinant for, that would be 90s melodic doom/death and not folk metal. If there's a folk reference in Tales, it's limited within a few eastern scales which were very common among melodic doom death bands from the 90s (Septic Flesh, Tiamat, Therion, Katatonia, My Dying Bride etc). Nothing to do with the post 00s happy fest from Finland.
And there's no "big 5" of folk metal without the very originators of folk metal.. Skyclad.
Crazy that back when they made this they were still kid's in high school. The talent they had for their age was incredible.
I love to come back to this album around winter solistice.
I'm 29 now and I love them since 19!
A black winter day, one of the best songs of all metal.
I do my top20 album lists ever from time to time. This one and Elegy never miss the top20. It's easy to skip songs these days when listening to albums, you dont do it with these masterpieces.
This and Sentenced got me through '90s
Tales was album of the year on the Berlin radio station "Fritz" in the program "Stahlwerk" in 1994. It blew me away the first time I heard it. It's unbelievable what magic these young musicians have created.
You can hear Pink Floyd and Mile Oldfield, you can recognize the seafaring of the old Finns through the oriental sounds. Every note is well thought out, every riff is a work of art. Every good band makes an album where everything fits. Tales is such an album.It's not just music, it's a complete work of art, a truly masterpiece.
Highschool years. I had this on a copied tape and I would play it every night over and over again. No other album had such an impact on me back then, only maybe The Gathering's Always and Paradise Lost's Icon.
same for me, and Tiamat also
I just found this, because my dad told me to hear it. I'm speechless, it did something positive to me. I can't discribe it but I love it....
I am guilty of only recently finding Amorphis ... Super glad I did though!! Amazing sounds
Been listening to metal a very long time, yet my very first thought discovering this album was : "I absolutely would have needed to hear this as a teenager." Drowned Maid felt like wings grew on my back, precisely the kind of effect that places this in Exceptionally Good category.
Also, here's an unprompted, but related recommendation: Obsequiae.
I discovered this album just this year... (sorry, metalheads...) Unbelievable, that there can be something soooo beautiful, sooo powerful, sooo perfect... Thanks, Amorphis! This is no doubt one of my TOP3 metal albums now, and will be for long time.
Noo parempi myöhään kun ei milloinkaan. Itse kuuntelin 30 vuotta sitten tätä ja olin myyty. Ei kiinnostanut enää Mötley Crue tai muut purkka hevit. Tilalle tuli Carcasit, Entombedit yms.
@@jannehalinen1826 paitsi että levyn julkaisusta on 25v. Turhaa pilkun nussimista tämäkin mutta pitipähän mainita :D
Sori. En tarkoittanut kyseistä levyä vaan Amorphista bändinä. Kuuntelin myös Xysmaa ja CMX:ää n. 30 vuotta sitten. Ei haittaa.
@@jannehalinen1826 Nojuu sittenhän käy järkeen. Olispa itekki ollu elossa noihin aikoihin haha...
Noo olen vasta 45. Olin onneksi elossa kun Suomessa oli vielä hyviä bändejä eikä mitään wannabe next idol tyrkky bändejä/artisteja. Yrittänyt lapsilleni tuoda esiin musiikkia laidasta laitaan huonolla menestyksellä. Justin Bieber yms. ovat tärkeämpiä kuin vaikka Black Sabbath, YUP, CMX, Carcass, Kingston Wall. Onneksi nuorin 13v. fanittaa Queeniä.
Crazy nostalgia glad I came back to this … black winter day still hits different 💯
that clean voice that appears..
This is pure Magic!
Just EPIC!!! One of the best metal albums of 90's! The winter is coming....
This takes me back to my high school years. What a beast of an album.
This album is awesome and still sounds great after all these years! I'm 51 years old and listened to metal from grade school. Yeah I like certain bands that sound good and Amorphis stands out. Aside from the synthesizer and folklore there are heavy and brutal guitar parts that makes this album awesome. For example the last three songs-To Father's Cabin.
Same like me at 47. Almost 48
The synths are so epic on this album! Every time i listen to this album and hear the synths it makes me smile :)
Вы обогнули время, я помню вашу музыку года с 98-го, и мне было просто прикольно, сейчас мне 34, я случайно наткнулся на этот ролик, и я в восторге!! Парни вы обвели время сквозь пальцы, вы очень актуальны, и первичны сейчас спустя 20 лет, спасибо, это восхитительно, буду слушать вашу музыку ещё 20 лет \0/
Tendi foi nada!
From México 🇲🇽 old age 48
Please old amorphis came back.we need you.we need this.
