ROADIE REACTIONS | "Amorphis - The Bee (Live-ish)" 

AMONGST STARS” Amorphis with ANNEKE VAN GIERSBERGEN pure gold

One interesting fun fact that might tickle you, Marco Hietala from Nightwish produced some of their albums (around the Skyforger era) and helped refine Tomi Jotusen's clean vocals for those albums and live performances

This is one of the most well written songs ever, in any genre.

First time I saw these guys live, I started to cry on the middle of this song. I wasn’t sad, he’s scream just pierced right through me. They are amazing live! 🤘🏼😊

I would absolutely recommend most songs from their live DVD Forging the Land of a Thousand Lakes: - Silver Bride - Black Winter Day - My Kantele - Majestic Beast

J.R.R. Tolkien took inspiration from Kalevala when writing Silmarillion, also the elves in LOTR speak ancient Finnish.

Tomi is legendary. I was once informed that Tomi is sometimes referred to by friends as "multakurkku" (mud throat), which is a word play on kultakurkku (gold throat, refers to a beautiful singing voice). Because his growling sound is straight from the gutter 😂 Glad to see you appreciate this band. It gets so easily overlooked despite being ridiculously talented.

Forging the land of the thousand lakes live in Oulu is the way to go with live Amorphis stuff! Any song from that show 🤘

"And when the tiny one, from heaven comes..." Non-stop goosebumps, man! Love this song

One of my favorite songs ever. Pure magic!

I think that with Nightwish wednesday we need Amorphis thursday?

I confess that I've never been a fan of harsh vocals, since my taste has always leaned toward power/symphonic/classic metal. But lately I've been slowly warming up to stuff like Arch Enemy, Immortal, and Dimmu Borgir. This is my first time listening to Amorphis, and it definitely sounds like something I could listen to every now and then!

Great song and reaction, but this time my main compliments go to Kultti - what an excellent job of marrying the music with the visuals!

Amorphis is one of those bands that has a completely unique and original sound, really amazing band and Tomi is an incredible vocalist. For some other kickass songs I recommend Sampo, Silent Waters or Silver Bride, all great songs

As you enjoyed this, may I recommend Amongst Stars, featuring another Dutch vocal Valkyrie

I love Amorphis. They have grown to become one of my favorite bands this year 😍

I was there! the whole day...and yes...my neck was brocken after that day. Especially after In Flames.

Those growls hit me right in the feels too,so you're not alone Tank!

And here we see Tank rocking an Amorphis custom video with Kultti audios... 😉 Well, everyone else seems to play custom stuff, so why not you too. This was a real treat, thank you!

Seen Amorphis multiple times and they are one of the few bands that actually sound live as good as in albums. The talent is phenomenal. And Tomi....well...the best growler EVER. And his clears are amazing too.

So good to see Amorphis back. "Into Hiding" + "Black Winter Day" still the best

One of my favorites! Here's more: -Daughter of Hate -Under the Red Cloud -Heart of a Giant -Bad Blood -We Accursed -Drowned Maid (2010 version)

i love it when people get emotional to this kind of music.. makes me feel like im not alone \m/

I started listen to Amorphis when I was arond 16... now I'm 37... and it's still one of my fav bands ever. Pasi Koskinen on vocals or Tomi Joutsen... love them both :)

After forever..... energize me....equally destructive

I love that Insomnium in the background. I'm hoping you react to Insomnium. Heart like a grave by Insomnium is amazing.

I can't get over this, but this band rises up, and get close to my heart. directly I LOVE this we need MOORE

I love love love love amorphis!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Been a fan since 1994 and ive seen them live 4 times in the past 4 years and they blow me away every single time... they deserve 10 times the success they have worked so hard for... thanks for giving them a platform for a whole new audience!!!!!

This reaction was sick! Excellent 👌🏽 Jinjer supported Amorphis on their 2019 European tour for a total of 30 shows. Good job with the editing kultti. Speaking of another studio audio over a live performance, the next time you visit Jinjer check out the video “Outlander” by failure .color you won’t be disappointed. This one was a treat 🤘🏽

Yeah the growls on this song are amazing. So damn pleasing to the ear!

@Kultti TANK you very much!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Claire!

I seriously hope these guys get even bigger. I love the personal, intimate bar shows. But god damn. They deserve a big stage like this, and a massive audience, because i'm not kidding when I say I have seen them 4 separate times and they are one of my favourite live performances. There's a certain beauty in their musicality, and the way they do things. Their writer is clearly ridiculously talented. Tomi's voice is so ridiculous, those deep as hell growls, and amazing soaring clean vocals. It would not be the same without both vocal types. Kultti, buddy. You killed it. Tank, this was a great reaction, and i'm looking forward to your next one. Black Winter Day is a fantastic recommendation, it is a HEAVY song from their old days.

I seen these guys play live on Oct. 5, 2019 with Delain and Anneke van Giersbergen. I even participated with the meet and greet with everyone. This was at Venue in Vancouver, BC. These guys were a great group to talk to, and not many people were rushing them. So I got to talk to each person. That was awesome. Also, on that NA Tour, until that day, Delain’s drummer Joey had been missing because he didn’t have his paperwork done properly to enter Canada. So Jan from Amorphis was filling in for Delains’ set. That very night, 3/4 through the concert, Joey made it!!!! Charlotte Wessels (Delain) told us Joey’s story of a week of HELL of staying at hostel’s, airports, taking multiple flights, fighting his way to catch up with the tour, and everyone got the news mid show that he was there! He walked out, and the crowd went insane! Anyways, it was a good show, and the last one I went to before everything has shut down.

That was a great edit and lining everything up! Very nice job!!!

Growing up in the 70s and listening to the classic rock bands back then, I've got to say Amorphis are one of the best bands I've heard in the past 20 years. First heard Eclipse back in 2006 and some of the most catchiest, melodic metal I'd ever heard. Some would probably say that was a departure from the 90s material but they've kept the quality up over the years.

Dude I want to run out and get that stage artwork tattooed on my body like right now!

Oh my God, I'm stoked you did a reaction to this song, I only just found it about a week ago and its banger for sure, looking forward to other songs by them

Loved the reaction, sweet Tank, and great job Kultti!

Thanks Tank! And I raise also my hat to Kultti. Great editing.

On The Dark Waters, Wrong Direction, The Four Wise ones, The Moon, give those a listen. They are great live, saw them a few days ago.

I listened and the turkey started headbanging on the table. Happy Thanksgiving Tank. Another amazing song.

Yessss you finally checked it out. This was a popular request for a good reason! Tomi's vocals are incredible. Glad to see your reaction and an awesome audio sync to boot. What a treat.

Kultti You are great. You do fantastic work (almost perfect mix music and video). Tank this reaction was awesome. I love this song.🙂

Woooow!!! That was a big leap of faith from you, Tank. A true portrayal of bravery and devotion to your Discord friends/comunity. Hats off to you, bro 👌

Those vocals always go to my soul and touch something deep in there, both the clean and the growls. Thank you for getting back to Amorphis! "Forging a Land of Thousand Lakes" DVD (Oulu) has nice audio. I especially recommend Silver Bride and Majestic Beast.

Amongst Stars by Amorphis is one of my favs. Such a cool contrast with Anneke van Giersbergen (of The Gathering and Devin Townsend fame) on guest vocals. Video is dope too. Kultti did a great job with this video. What a legend.

Wow! Awesome editing job!! Great song too! And one thing I wanted to comment for ages now: it's always so funny to see your super stoked, smiling "let's goooooo" and then cut to your face super honest, super concentrated! 😅 Always makes laugh... 😊

Months before i realized how equal our taste in music is. It's approved again. These guys are fantastic, i saw them live 5 times. Together with nightwish, savatage and queensryche they are my favorite band. I love them - as much as your reaction. Tank : You're my man! 😂 Greetings from germany, as always Next one should be silver bride from forging the land of thousand lakes DVD

Great reaction. And such an epic song that takes you to another world. It’s become one of my all time favourites. A few months ago I hadn’t heard of Amorphis or Nightwish, but channels like yours and Chase’s have really opened my eyes to loads of new stuff and I’m hooked! Agree about his voice it’s incredible and hard to believe it’s the same guy on cleans and growling.

I always forget how well they sound - both with the harsh and the clean vocals ^^' Kudos, to whomever did do the edit on the vid, the life footage and the studio audio mesh really well 🥰

Awesome reaction and info, ty broski!

I really like your videos Tank. You seem honest, well-informed, and an overall good person. And remember, we all have different tastes when it comes to music, don't forget that! And we are all here to watch your reactions/analysis of different bands. It would be almost imo\possivle to like EVERYTHING, and every band the same amount. Love from Norway Ps, this band was GREAT!

This song is an instant classic. The album is incredible

Tank maby next from Finland ?????? BATTLE BEAST NOORA LOUHIMO. Straight to the Heart. Noora amazing voice.

Sorry to be on a vid from ages ago. Amorphis is amazing. I finally got a chance to see them on the Halo tour. Awesome job as always tank

My absolute favorite song of theirs. ❤️

Going to see them next month in London.Cannot to wait.I will cry for sure.

Man, your reactions bring so much joy to my life. I always smile so fuckin' hard while listening to these that it hurts

This was awesome. Never heard of these guys, im a fan now. ❤️ from TX

Daaamn, this reaction is multiple levels above all the other reactions (of The Bee) for the unique combination of studio music with the live video. Good job Kultti & Tank :)

Haven't watched this yet, but you can't go wrong with this song. It is a masterpiece Also, because I can copy and paste form my last comment (I can be lazy if I want to lol) Apocalypse Orchestra - The Garden of Earthly Delights (sorta a medieval folk rock/metal) ГРАЙ - В объятиях Мары (Russian folk metal/rock. I clicked on this because RU-vid algorithms, it is a really beautiful song that I have had on repeat) Stratovarius - Dreamweaver (can also check out Destiny) Ningen Isu - Heartless Scat (Japanese hardrock, by guys that are older) Wolfheart - Everlasting Fall (has a really awesome intro)

Seen these guys live here twice in the states. Really great show. Last show had them, dark tranquility, moonspell, and omnium gatherum in louisville. Was a great night.

Tank, your reaction is unique, thanks dude :)

Would love to see you do Amongst Stars! There are no good live videos of it RU-vid but the music video is beautiful, including Finnish summer and the lovely Anneke van Giersbergen.

ty and big up for Kultti also

Great! These folks are pioneers in nordic metal scene. Keep in mind their song Among Stars for a future reaction. They have Anneke from The Gathering, and it's wonderful

Amorphis is amazing. One of my favorite folk metal bands. You should definitely do more of them.

I was there at this performance in wacken and i saw them 3 more times. This was the only time that i saw the singer without the big microphone.

Greetings from Finland & thanks for your reaction / analysis of yet another great Finnish metal band with their great male vocalist Tomi Joutsen (last name translates as "Swan" in English).

I'm so glad you had the same reaction as me to that chorus, I have no idea what it is about it but that sound and the lyrics just sets me off emotionally every time. I get that ASMR thing going on.

this is such a great song and the live version is so badass good too

Holy shit. Sync on this one is so perfect.

I don’t think there’s a music video for it or even a live version that does it justice but Brother Moon was the song that introduced me to Amorohis and I still love it 14 years later

You gotta love Amorphis! Quality through and through.

Add-on!!!!! Your t-shirt remind me the band Enforce... Early prog metal with some very interesting songs. Enforce was a band from Baltimore that was formed by Nick Ellingson and Cliff Saunders back in 1987. The line up consisted of Lonnie Fletcher - vocals, Nick Ellingson - Guitar, Jody Lewis - Bass, Charles Parker - Keys, and Cliff Saunders - Drums. The band played the east coast and opened for acts like Dream Theater, Pat Travers, and headlined several A clubs. The band recorded 2 demo tapes and were included in the CD compilation "Metal Molten Monsters 1" created by Keith Menser of Seigen records. Their original music was compared to Queensryche, Dream Theater, and Fates Warning. The band finally disbanded in 1993 after Heavy Metal music diminished with rap and grunge taking the front.

One of my all time favourite bands and songs. ❤️

Awesome mix by Kultti :)

watch them live.. perfect sound and a lot of energy..

Oooooh this is one of my favourite songs! Never seen a video of it... don't have time to watch now, will have to wait a few hours but looking forward to a first-time-watch with your reaction.. Edit: still haven't seen it but want to like it again already.

I've seen them live twice in Lithuania and the vocalist used the double mic both times. They are great!

Awesome! And ffs finaly! 💪🥰 You got to get blueray version from concert in tampere!

YES, they are amazing❤️❤️🇫🇮!!

Awsome what a great voise. Loved IT. Totale insane 🤟🤟

yessss.... this is the studio audio...

what a banger, great reaction!!! If you'll go to see NW next year you'll see them too, they tour together

Nice job Tank. Love it Tanks for tho loke tho us

Amazing!!!🤘🤘🤘

I don't watch alot of metal but I have to admit it was nice. I was especially impressed with his singing voice. THAT surprised me!!! The musical arrangement was excellent. This is one of the reasons I keep watching is the music you bring out, along with your intelligent comments (of course), adds to my knowledge and musical experiences. Keep up the good work and have a Happy Thanksgiving. Eat well and laugh hard!

Thanks Tank, kiitos Kultti.

I haven't really listened to Amorphis since the 90's. A black winter day was the very first metal song I heard. But the love is definitely starting to come back. So in a way it's thanks to Amorphis, that I'm sitting here right now, watching your videos. I've always loved a rich, full growl and this definitely delivers. Also it's very rare to find a singer with both a good growl, and a gorgeous regular voice. And to finish it off, I would absolutely pay to see an Amorphis/the Hu collaboration.

I love that you did this, one of my favorite bands. Would also really really love it if you did one with "Mercenary - From the ashes of the fallen"

Iconic song Iconic band love both thankyou.

Oh my, I really hope I'll see them together with Nightwish in May *fingerscrossed* My heart will be broken if Covid won't make it possible again!

First, thanks for reacting to one of my favourites. Very happy to see you mentioned Kalevala, it's such a big source of inspiration for Amorphis. And also because I'm into mythologies, and unsurprisingly the Finnish one is especially dear to me 😁 P.S. If anyone unfamiliar with Kalevala wants to know what the bee did, you'll find out if you read about Lemminkäinen 😊

Thank you for paying attention to Amorphis. This band is so underrated. More people should know about them. 🤘

the feels man they get you

This was so good. Have to se then live one day

I was there 2018! It was freakin hot- like a meltin pot full of metalheads. 🥵Awesome show and Tomi is my facourite singer (growls and clean voice) in the metal genre. Loooved your reaction! 🤘🏻

Amorphis is a great yet underrated band so don't hesitate to dive deeper into their discography, they're just amazing !
