Amorphis started out as a pure death metal band but soon steered away from the genre s underground scene and have since created their own unique and highly successful blend of heavy metal progressive rock and folk. I am giving this album 4 stars only because the previous release to this the amazing elegy was a groundbreaker in terms of the integration of death doom metal with classic folky melodies. The name amorphis was derived from the word amorphous which means no determinate form or shape. Where amorphis s previous album 1997 s phenomenal elegy found the band with one foot in progressive territory and the other in death metal tuonela is a bigger step into the more atmospheric progressive sound.
