Melodic metal between mythology, atmosphere and heaviness

Amorphis is a Finnish metal band that has been one of the defining acts of European metal since the early 1990s. Known for their stylistic development, the band combines death metal roots with melodic rock and atmospheric elements.

Musically, Amorphis move between melodic death metal, progressive metal and heavy rock. They are characterised by heavy guitar riffs, melodic leads, versatile vocals and the frequent use of clear vocals alongside growls. Their songs are often epic in structure and alternate between heaviness and quiet, atmospheric passages.
