Amorphis - Sampo

[puddinbustra]

Shampoo is cool

[Schwuntz]

3:30 - 4:30 perhaps the most epic minute of my life.

I've had quite a fucking life.

[vaxkors95]

This is my favourite amorphis song, and it's the favourite of Tomi Joutsen, he told us yesterday in Portugal...

I love the keyboard solo...

[Klikkitse]

Wut. I found this band/song through a circulating FB status challenge: "Write your second name on Youtube and share the first hit." So this is what I found... :D

[RuiGranja903]

This song reminds me of Moonshield by In Flames. But still pretty good song :)

[vaxkors95]

@RuiGranja903 In Flames is a good band too...

[turican500]

I'll always compare them to the "Tales From The Thousand Lakes" album. And they'll always keep up!

[LordVicRattlehead]

They remind me a lot of savatage. If you guys love this sound then definitely hear Savatage- Edge of Thorns

[cilibinarii]

Skyforger is teh most awesome album (:

[6BlackRavens]

pretty kool song

[notmrbill]

5:29 till the end...incredible, well the whole song is awesome but I love that part so much. Awesome band, older and newer!

[TheJeba98]

my name is sampo=)

[zampo28]

@TheJeba98 ME2 ;DD

I love this song

[blo0dy0wn4g3]

It made me so sick when my sister's boyfriend said to me "he's not singing". Fuck off and listen to Coldplay then.

[SSAJacobsen]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!! From 3:32 to 4:56 is one of the most epic things i have ever heard. That part COMPLETELY blew my mind. This band now officially has a well deserved spot among my favourites. \m/

[M4n1Acal1]

Honestly who the hell could dislike this song? 166 against 2. Haha why even bother making such a pointless stand? lol. Probably another one of those Hardcore and nothing but Hardcore kids

[vaxkors95]

It's my favourite song from amorphis.

At 4:33 it smells like Emerson, lake and palmer.

It's very cool, all the music

[ironaaguirre]

hermoso piano, lastima que ya me e dedicado a la guitarra.

[TheZaniken]

MY friends name is Sampo :) I just found this thanks to him

[Serdaroth]

The days, they blend into the nights

The moon, the sun unite

Order of stars expires

A wonder is born

[Violent666Death]

PEACE & LOVE! D:

[Podfamily]

Their last two albums have been my favorites, apart from Elegy.

[seriousrod]

i saw this song live, i almost cried man!!! EPIC!!!

[Doddus]

I love it how no one here is making a comparison to Opeth.

I love you guys.

And of course, I love this band.

[alexgatos78]

@Doddus to compare the genius that is Opeth to the wonder that is Amorphis is to compare the beauty of a sunny day and that of a full moon night. Each to their own majesty. I, personally, enjoy both but i would not compare them. Just a thought.

[habitatnoah11]

one dumbass missed the like button in shock that real metal bands can play piano lol

[ozzyfanatic92]

@habitatnoah11 his frind did to

[habitatnoah11]

@ozzyfanatic92 he prolly just went to the library computer just to dislike it again lol

[philcreek74]

Epic song! No other way to describe it...

Amporphis over the years have re-invented themselves but still remain true to their roots even if they have mellowed a bit. Tomi's Vocals just get better and better. I can't wait to see them in November :o)

[BALDURAN70]

Masterpeace

[Heemsah1]

The keyboard makes me think of Nightwish

[MrCrazyBash]

the new album is so epic!!!! i love this this so much

[burner81]

great music, i hope to see them in november in Utrecht with orphaned land.

[ArmenianAssassin]

the chorus is amazing



[harvesterofsorrow111]

uhmmm how come I've never heard of these guys before? I would think I have a good taste in underrated bands but never heard of them, I'm slightly ashamed ahh well its not too late to start

[BlazingCheerio]

@harvesterofsorrow111 yeah most mainstream just sounds the same



[LeoSynapse]

@harvesterofsorrow111 - You might be from the USA. Though, I am from the USA and I have listened to them for years.

[DarkWolfen]

Great album by a great band

[hemuli122]

@iwillcommitdeicide

Yes, it is the same

[iwillcommitdeicide]

is this the same band whos album were 'The Karelian Isthmus' also ??????

[DeadChampis]

Omg why nobody knows about this band? it's so damn good course :o

[hoopodi]

Well, here in Finland everyone knows Amorphis.

[DeadChampis]

@hoopodi In Swedish there i live there are not many knows this band i think..

[Wraithdegothia]

When he sings "From roaring flames the shapes emerge" I can't help but hear "the shit emerge". Sorry, I know that's bad but now I just can't unhear it hahaha.

Either way, this is a good song and a great album. I hadn't listened to Amorphis in a long time but this album got me into them again.

[NymphetamineGirl777]

Haha, I hear 'the shitting urge'. Oh dear...

Best band ever though!

[copilasatanista]

i can't wait to see them for the 2nd time on 29 :P \m/

[ngaunt]

The music itself sounds like a Thyrfing song, anyone knows which it could be?

[kristiina05]

I've been listening their new album countless times and it's just getting better and better and better....

[Lesko1234]

Sampo on alunperin tarkoittanut todennäköisesti maailmanpylvästä, joka seisoo kiinni taivaannaulassa ja kiertää taivaankantta myllyn lailla. Lönnrot kehitteli Sammosta "pelkän" myllyn, joka tekee rahaa, suolaa yms. alkuperäiset kansanrunot kertovat kuitenkin enemmän kuin Kalevala.

[superpoopotion]

Its a shame that not many know this band...

[amorphisman]

yes, but those who know are truly blessed :D

the first metal song i listened to when i got my computer was The Castaway, some 7 years ago, and i can say i just can't get enough of it till this day

[Rydia20]

Keep it that way. This song is too beautiful, let alone this band. Keep it sacred.

[PanagosGr33kG134EVER]

@superpoopotion no its not a shame. if they became very popular they would sell out and become one of the many shitty mainstream rock/metal bands.

And they are not uknown. For the metal scene, they are a very succesful band

[mancubius]

@superpoopotion I know this comment of yours has been posted a year ago ,but I couldn't help but point out that most people I know who have a decent metal background knowledge know about Amorphis... I believe that any metalhead who respects himself should know about this band

[raykiller545]

@superpoopotion But I'm Proud Cuz We Know This Amazing Band.

[sbernhardsson]

@superpoopotion

But we who know...We few, we happy few. We band of brothers. For he today that rocks with me shall be my brother... ;)

[bjerre93]

lolwut, I thought it said Shampo.

[likineuropeanbands]

just heard of these guys a few days ago..great f-ing music...no air play here in the states

[BCGFAN101]

awesome chorus

[Nodrico]

ermm, A Sampo was a Magical Artifact in Finnish Mythology was it not?! But No-one quite new what it was or looked like, only that it blessed good fortune upon the holder.

I Have no idea what Your on about xD, Brilliant Song though (:

[huni54]

i read somewhere that it was some kind of mill or somethuing like that..........................­....

today ive started to read the kaevala but at the begining its not mentioned

[Nodrico]

No-one really knew what it looked liyke.

Just that it was an artifact, some people beleive it was one thing, others beleive it was somethign else.

[Metalperse]

Sampo was a magical mill that created wheat, salt, and gold, from thin air

[kristiina05]

Perfect music once again from this awesome band. I just cannot wait to see them live. Lucky you who saw them in Sauna!

[XysmicExecration]

Nothing quite beats the original two Death metal albums and the early EP and demo stuff, but I must say, Amorphis has actually gotten better album by album since "Far from the Sun".

HAILS TO AMORPHIS

AND PRAISED BE UKKO and AKKA \m/

[zogdor]

continuation of the lyrics : From roaring flames the shapes emerge

Come forth they do with vile charms

Their poisoned core hides in beauty

But I see and perceive their deceit, I see

Into the blaze I shove them back

To lose their forms to the hungry fire

Again and yet again

I start my work anew

Again and again

I start my work again

[hoopodi]

Simply epic!

[pitacachorrita]

great!

[Tsuyu92]

Finnish people, like me can be proud of a band like Amorphis. Simply awesome.

[perkele29]

The days they blend into the nights

The moon, the sun unite

Order of stars expires

A wonder is born...

[Tangakkai]

Amazing! Feel the ghoosepumps I got with listening to my kantele times ago

[mat2984]

Jotun?

[Itseton]

This song has everything in it. Catchy chorus, prog messing, great riffs, and the overall songwriting keeps the song together very well.

One of my favourites from Amorphis ever.

[SellingBlackberries]

an amazing song. I don`t know how they do it but each album is better than the last.

has someone got its lyrics?

[BlackDamnman3]

i agree, this album is better than eclypse and silent waters!! :) let's buy this artistic

[drasdew]

Silent waters.. man... no..

this album is too much melodic...

silent waters is melodic and aggressive in the same time...

i'm not agree...

[Alcarie]

Don't kill me for this but Silent waters reminded me of old Paradise Lost, especially 1-2 songs. I love that album, but this one is also nice. I have to listen to it more

[ChunkyPirate]

It's all good, Paradise Lost is a great band!

[zogdor]

the lyrics : Sparks sent flying, my mind thundering The room of my heart flashing to the sky The flaring of fumes fill my senses Pervade this room and this space The days they blend into the nights The moon, the sun unite Order of stars expires A wonder is born I listen and aim, I observe I use all the forces and let it transpire I confront the darkness absolute And blinding, dazzling brilliance

[Unholae]

As expected, Amorphis didn't disappoint. 8)

[ardanell4686]

Wow, what a song! I love it!!! :)))

[leodickle]

amazing song!

refrain is godlike!

one of the best songs of the new album!

[nadxxm]

awesome song! amorphis is great

[perkele29]

3:35 - 4:55 --> AWESOME...!!!!!

[Pellefaren]

2:58 > is the best thing I have ever heard..

[Photis]

This is an amazing song!!!Amazing....!!!!

[RuhtinasJorma]

finally we got some synth solos! esa's solo isn't that great but at least it doesn't sound so annoying..

[Zorglubb]

Holy Moly!! This opener on Skyforger is probably my favorite track by Amorphis ever! Bloody marvelous!!!

[uncjjb24]

Thanks for posting!
