Musicians react to hearing AMORPHIS for the first time! 

Tomi Joutsen has a magnificent voice. And yes, he does both, growls and cleans

"The bee is a prominent character in the Kalevala and features in moments of birth and resurrection. Once the world has been created we are informed: ‘“from the clouds dripped honey.’ The women of the north are coveted, not just for their beauty, but also for their culinary skills with honey: ‘she may bake honey bread, know how to brew beer.’ Shortly afterwards, ‘smith Ilmarinen was born’ and a ‘bee rose up from the ground… O bee, lightweight man, bring mead on your wing, carry honey on your tongue, from six flowery tips, from seven grass tops, for steel things to be made, for iron to be wrought… spill honey on the earth.’ Apparently, the bee is essential to the forging of the world. Lemminkäinen’s mother resurrects her son using honey-based potions and spells, collected from the underworld with the assistance of a bee. Her concoction includes a drop of mead brought to anoint the weary one, to tend the ill-befallen… O bee, bird of ours, king of the forest flowers, go now to fetch some honey and to find some mead… to heal the ill.’ The resurrection ritual continues: So it (the bee) comes panting, travels doubled up, all its wings drenched in mead, its feathers in melted honey. She, Lemminkäinen’s mother, took the ointments and anointed the weary one, tended the ill-befallen; but no help came from them, no words came to the man. Lemminkäinen’s mother’s does not despair: Bee, my little bird, fly that other way, right over nine seas to an island on the main, a honey mainland, to Tuuri’s new cabin, the Worshipful boundless one. There is pleasant honey there and good ointment there, which will suit sinews and be good for limbs. The bee obeyed: The honey was being cooked… in tiny cauldrons, in beautiful pans that would hold a thumb, fit a fingertip. The bee, slight man, got some of those ointments. Next, we learn: The Creator sang charms and the pure God talked, the lord anointed his brood inured by an evil power. Dip your wings in mead, and your feathers in melted honey. The bee laments its chances of completing the task and is told: You will get there easily, trip there handsomely, over the moon, underneath the sun, between heaven’s stars. For one day you will flutter to the moon’s brow-bones, for another you will whizz to the Great Bear’s shoulder blades, for a third you will soar up to the Seven Stars’ back; then ‘tis a mite of a way a tiny circuit to where God the holy lives to the blessed one’s dwellings. And so the bee flies to the ‘Almighty’s chamber’ and returns with the ointment that allows Lemminkäinen’s mother to successfully complete her son’s resurrection."

The world needs more Amorphis🤘🏽🔥

I think you'll enjoy their Death of a King, official music video, it has an oriental vibe to it and you see the whole band and it's anyway a cool video. Amongst Stars is super melodic, and with collab with a Dutch female vocalist Anneke van Ginsberg

Been listening this for years, "they build their castles..." section still gets me singing along every time 😅

❤ Saw them live at Wacken Open Air in Germany a few weeks ago. I was absolutely blown away...Best live performance I've seen in a long time. 🎉🎉🎉

Amorphis Silent Waters, Silent Bride and You I need are well worth the listen

Amorphis, Death of a King - music video

"Into Hiding", "Black winter day" their older stuff and "Daughter of hate", "On the dark waters" their later stuff.

How great to see this, Amorphis is one of my top 3 bands! Forging the Land of Thousand Lakes is a good live concert to check out, and you've already gotten a ton of great suggestions, so the only one I would add is The Moon from their most recent album. I'll be seeing these guys live in the autumn for the second time and I can't wait!

Towards and against live forging the lands of a thousand lakes Oulu. Great song

about the sound: recorded and mixed at finvox studios helsinki by mikko karmilla and mika jusilla. the same guys, who worked with nightwish, children of bodom, HIM, stratovarius, wintersun, Tiamat, apocalyptica, many more and ... lovebites. and tomi joutsen does both the harshs and the cleans. great reaction.

More Amorphis please! My favorite band with Nightwish ❤ Highly recommend to see them live if you ever got change! 👍🏻 By the way, it's hard to find good live recordings from them... I recommend those official videos.

great song!

I recommend: Amorphis - Towards And Against - Forgin a land of Thousand (live) or Amorphis - The Four Wise Ones And Death of a King.

The singer is Tomi Joutsen and he does all the vocals.

Best band from Finland 🇫🇮

Amorphis is a really great band. Here's a few more recommendations on their older stuff. I'm sure there are people here to recommend some newer songs as well.

I would like to hear your thoughts of some of the older songs, like Silent Waters (personal favorite) and Silver Bride. Also Shades of grey is really good.

Brother and sister... From Amorphis.. Enjoy.. ;)

Insomnium - Godforsaken

Same singer!!

Amorphis is one of the bedrocks of Finnish metal and had influenced countless of younger bands, which when it comes to harder Finnish metal means pretty much all of them. In 1990 there were not that many bands around in Finland doing more extreme forms of metal and Amorphis sound and guitar work has always been superb. The final piece landed in 2005 when Tomi Joutsen joined for vocals and for the first time they had a single singer who could do both cleans and growls to a very high standard and still retain the hallmark Amorhis sound on cleans. On live setting they are majestic; it's not a band, the Finnish bedrock itself is vibrating to bring you these emotions. They have a long an glorious backlog of released music, so it's hard to pick that to do next, but Among Stars features Anneke van Giersbergen (ex- the Gathering) and is a safe bet.

It's same person

Great band👌💪!

More Amorphis please❤🤘

Amorphis have never released a bad album!

I highly recommend Amongst Stars, You I Need, Death Of A King, and On Rich & Poor

IT is the same singer, the only Tomi Joutsen!

Thanks! 🤟🇫🇮

Hi from Finland 👋🏼 Yep Tomi Joutsen does them both ..one singer. Just saw them live! Amazing. You could make a reaction video for the moon or wrong direction from them

Bad blood or On the dark waters 🤟🤟

So you guys missed the premiere of Lovebites "Hammer of Wrath" live from their comeback concert. Show opener!!! You should react to it!!! Soon!!!!

Great review guys... Amongst Stars is excellent

Greetings from Finland!!! You should check out Amorphis - you i need and silver bride they have many good songs and as the metal country of the world we ofc have more bands you guys should check out!!! "i'll be back" 😎

Death of a king or Amongst stars next!

Cheack out Stam1na and the song Valtiaan Uudet Vaateet.

My alltime favourite song from them is "house of sleep" i heard it as a kid from my friends dad, thats how i got introduced to metal!

Beast in Black is Finnish power metal band founded 2015. You definately need to react to their great official video song "Blind And Frozen" . The vocalist Yiannis Papadopoulis is originally from Greece and his amazing vocal range is out of the world. After this you'd be graving for moore.

During your intro when you read from Wikipedia I thought I was going to hate this but I have to admit I liked it a lot. Not what I expected at all. Will be checking out more from them for sure.

Great reaction!! „Death of a king“; would love you to react to the song😃

Best and most legendary Amorphis tunes are found from the first 3 albums: The Karelian Isthmus (pre-keyboards album, more Conan / medieval themed melodeath) Tales of the Thousand Lakes (top-10 influential Melodic Death Metal albums of all time) Elegy (Continuing the Kalevala story, introducing new singer Pasi Koskinen (Ajattara))

"Let us know if you love Amorphis" I love this album exclusively. Never heard anything else by them. This album is pure gold.

🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🤘🤘🤘💪💪💪

Amorphis alone the Oulu show next🤘

Please react Randy dongseu she sings on the Ome of more than 20 countries .randy dongseu from indonesia great talent and accent. thank
