Amorphis is a band renowned for their seamless melding of metal genres, hailing from Helsinki, Finland, and founded in 1990. Initially emerging as a death metal band, Amorphis has evolved over the years, incorporating elements of progressive, folk, and symphonic metal into their sound, creating a unique and dynamic style that defies easy categorization. With lyrics often inspired by Finnish folklore, particularly the Kalevala, which is a treasure trove of their country's myths and legends, they have carved a niche for themselves within the metal community.

Throughout their career, Amorphis has released a substantial body of work, with "Queen of Time" and "Halo" among their most recent and acclaimed albums. Their versatility is showcased through both powerful studio recordings and captivating live performances, as evident in releases like "Live At Helsinki Ice Hall" and "An Evening with Friends at Huvila (Live)." The band's ability to connect with their audience through storytelling, coupled with their musical prowess, has consistently solidified their status as a significant force in the metal scene. Their live recordings, such as "Queen Of Time (Live At Tavastia 2021)," capture the energy and finesse that have become the hallmark of Amorphis's enduring legacy.
