Great show at Huvila-tent on last Saturday! I loved that atmospheric acoustic part with some ethnic and progressive vibes. Pekko Käppi played the jouhikko, which certainly brought intriguing, unique "ancient sound" to the music. And Sakari Kukko's original style for playing sax and flute is...

A photo of a familiar vocalist got some Photoshopping... :p For an example:

Amorphis came to a hometown-gig again last Saturday and once again I enjoyed it. The live versions of the new songs worked in a powerful way in my opinion (especially Death of A King), the audience was quite a lively - and it was great to see Koippari singing in Drowned Maid, too! (There was...

Good stuff in the new album :) I like that there are additions like female vocals, flutes and church organs, while it's nice to hear how Tomi's singing has developed even to "black metal growls". The Skull is one of my favourites because it's fine progressive-metal song with the beautiful...

Photos from the Tuska gig; it indeed was interesting to witness one of these Tales-anniversary shows. :) They also got a guest to announce Black Winter Day as a next song to be played:

Also the partial eclipse of the sun yesterday was an interesting natural phenomenon to see. Managed to take this through a welding glass (for protecting not only eyes, but also the camera lens from insolation).

The northern lights yesterday evening were actually the first ones I have seen in my life. Finally, as I have wanted to witness them for a really long time... Must say it indeed was a beautiful nature-experience (despite that they looked more pale-coloured here), especially when starry sky was...

I'd like to show the band's musical versatility as well, so the song choices would represent the different musical eras and also vocalists. Drowned Maid (old heavy stuff with Koippari's growls) The Way (progressive rock with Pasi's vocals and delay guitar effect) Skyforger (representing the...

Must admit that this song in question is rather a new one to me (friend gave Story-collection album to me, so there were couple of tracks that I haven't listened before), but nevertheless I like those 70's-vibes in this one.

Loved the gig last night! It wasn't planned that I would go to yet another Amo-gig in this autumn - but right after the gig in Lahti I found out that there will be another hometown-gig (or rather in the "countryside" than in the town centrum itself) during this year. So it was an unexpected, but...

^ Thanks! :)

Something more autumnal:

To me the last night at Finlandia-klubi was easily the best Amo-gig during the latest two years, somehow the entire atmosphere just took a grasp of me. It's always a moment of joy when Brother Moon is played (after all that doesn't happen every time), but the intro played with an authentic...

Looks like a really nice setlist to me; hope that they will play similar kind of thing later in Lahti (chose this particular venue also because the gig date happens to be closest to my birthday, too ;)) At least there are changes in the set, finally! Yet it would be great to see also one of...

I went to explore this place with my friend. There was a high rocky hill by a forest lake; quite a beautiful views and of course lots of caves as well. Chilling out :p Lichen and moss have patterned rocks: And a day before I went to see the morning mist...

Have moved recently; yet there are also a couple of obvious decorations in the new apartment. ;)

Actually I have thought about doing a bear-themed one, I guess that some day I'm going to do something of this kind. ;) More recently done works, too, quite a heavily mythology-inspired ones indeed:

Newest one :)

After a little break Elegy does sound one kick ass-album again. But after all it's my favourite album along with Skyforger... :)

Made another page for my creative works; also kind of "best of-collection" of my Amorphis photos (taken from the gigs during 2009-2014) can be found among them.
