Format: CD Condition: New Year of Release: 2011 Cat. No.: 126742 Label: Nuclear Blast (USA)
2011 release from the Finnish Metal band.
With their 10th studio album, these Finns prove once more that they have no equal when it comes to amazing, natural sounding melodies, deep emotions and a unique sonic darkness. Amorphis took the power of their earlier albums and injected 'The Beginning'... with a massive dose of heavy: the perfect mixture between new and old, dark and light, good and evil.
'The Beginning Of Times' is described as "the most challenging AMORPHIS album so far in terms of both music and lyrics. Its central character is the iconic hero of Finnish mythology, Väinämöinen, whose tale has been masterfully retold by lyricist Pekka Kainulainen.
'The Beginning Of Times' was produced by the band; vocals were recorded under the guidance of Marco Hietala (NIGHTWISH, TAROT) in his home studio in Kuopio. Like its predecessors, the album was mixed by Mikko Karmila. Its cover artwork shows Travis Smith's magnificent interpretation of the mythological birth of the world from a goldeneye's egg.
