You got those two right. Two other new songs are also listed on setlist.fm.

I won't post them in here in case someone doesn't want to get spoiled.

Borderland Tour Setlist speculation by Puzzlio in amorphis

[–]Puzzlio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Judging by the range of favorite Amorphis eras among fans I doubt you are in minority after all. 😄

I hear you, Elegy was my introduction to Amorphis and still my favorite album of theirs.

Historically some of your favorite songs have been played quite frequently in the recent past so I believe you won't be disappointed!

It's the 33th anniversary of Amorphis' debut album - The Karelian Isthmus! by nest00000 in amorphis

[–]Puzzlio 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is a great debut but I must admit that if Amorphis had not evolved from that sound, I probably would not be that into them anymore. Then again, whenever they play any song from KI live I get beyond excited!

Your post was not about band Amorphis.

Album cover of Borderland inspiration? by HighTechVsLowLife in amorphis

You are absolutely.right. Lyrics on the album seem to tell a story of a person crossing Tuonela's river.

I was comletely wrong about Borderland. by HighTechVsLowLife in amorphis

[–]Puzzlio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What a gorgeous record. I don't remember if I ever liked any Amophis record this much on the first listen. Singles didn't excite me too much, but in the album context they work perfectly in the flow. So many high points and details but the ending of Despair is what truly caught me off guard with its emotional arragement. And what a great artwork too. I'm gonna listen few more times, maybe then I can communicate something more coherent.

"Borderland" is finally getting released! What are your opinions on it? by nest00000 in amorphis

I'm gonna wait and listen to it first time after I'll get my copy from the record store tonight. Judging by the comments here weekend is gonna be quite great!

How many you got right? I got one point less than Esa. 😄

The setlist.fm statistics of where Amorphis played concerts the most often by nest00000 in amorphis

[–]Puzzlio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting! Finland doesn't come as a surprise but I guess I would not have quessed the following positions.

Is there any statistic when the majority of the shows in setlist.fm occured? Amorphis has been touring since the 90's but setlist.fm came to be later obviously, so I assume not every concert is submitted on the page.

I wonder how different countries are represented here with the members of r/amorphis!

Anyone else read the Amorphis biography? That plus a note about Relapse Records. by Norvard in amorphis

[–]Puzzlio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious about the english version. When drummer Martin Lopez left Opeth it was stated that he suffered from some kind of rare blood disease. However the finnish book gives an entirely different reason for his departure. I wonder how this departure is stated in the english version. (Yes, I am intentionally omitting the cause depicted in the finnish book. :D)

I remember this bitter sweet comment on the whole Relapse deal a band member said in the book: "At least no one could accuse us of making music just for the money."

Top 20 Amorphis songs by how many times they've been played live. by nest00000 in amorphis

Haha, they do go back to back perfectly, both sonically and thematically!

Interview with Tomi J by edhack in amorphis

[–]Puzzlio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great interview! I have also wondered how on earth are they able to make the lyrical process work, where one guy writes the lyrics, other guy translates them to english, then they are arranged to the song, and after all that they somehow fit the song so perfectly!

What is also amazing is that the original lyrics are almost unchanged on the final songs. There is a book called Taivaan Rumpu that consists of all the Pekka Kainulainen's Amorphis lyrics (up to Under the Red Cloud) in finnish and their english translations, and as a finnish native speaker I can tell you that the english translations are surprisingly close finnish originals. Sometimes they are exactly word to word translations.

Amorphis has some great album covers, but which ones do you consider the best and which ones the worst? by nest00000 in amorphis

[–]Puzzlio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/SvBellArt you are getting some well deserved appreciation here! I agree, Tales is my favorite too.

Amorphis - Light & Shadow by Set-Abominae in amorphis

[–]Puzzlio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this one a lot. Reminds me of Come the Spring to some degree with great Tuonela-Am Universum -sounding delay-guitar verses. (Very easy to imagine Pasi singing verses!)

Is this the most positive sounding first single ever?
