Memories. I was a freshmen in highschool (in the U.S. ... in OREGON, of all states) and this song still to this day, as a 30 year old man, gives me CHILLS. It is so amazing and inspiring!

I heard Black Winter Day on Headbangers Ball when the album first was released, and went out and bought it right away. I haven't regretted it since :)
I hope he didnt pay a fuckin dime for any songs off the other cds. In fact I hope if he did download the other cd's its because amorphis paid him and he just threw them away.
@Spikeshred Name a better album in history that combined the elements of gothic, doom and death. That is world renowned and influential. SURE THERE ARE BETTER THRASH ALBUMS AND DEATH METAL ALBUMS. BUT NAME ONE THAT EFFORTLESSLY COMBINES GOTH, DOOM AND DEATH. That is what was being said, dummy. (Also Sirrah)
@jinglebearr Ya sry I might have misunderstood the comment. Truth be told I've never heard a death metal album which has doom and goth in it, so its impossible for me to compare this to anything. But what bugged me in your comment is that should an album be world renowned and influential to be considered good? So if I happen to find a goth/doom/death album that hasn't risen to popularity it's automatically worse than this? Btw don't take shit so seriously, we all have our opinions, dummy ;)
@BroadwayRonMexico Sir, no. The correct answer is "The Day It All Came Down." Thanks for playing though, check out their new album. But Tales.. came out in 94. They paved the way for bands like Swallow the Sun, Be'lakor, and Insomnium.
Brother dear, I sought the sea-side, There to sport among the billows; With the stone of many colors Sank poor Aino to the bottom Of the deep and boundless blue-sea, Like a pretty song-bird perished. Never bring thy prancing war-horse, Never bring thy royal racer, Never bring thy steeds to water, To the borders of the blue-sea, Never during all thy life-time, As thou lovest sister Aino." Rune IV: The fate of Aino (Kalevala ofc.)
I found Amorphis when Tomi Joutsen became the singer, but these old ones are absolutely brilliant. I still think the vocals are better nowadays. But the riffs are better in old Amorphis..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yet another funeral worthy song from amorphis. lyricly this band is ahead ofthere time, buy exaimineing old fables and ryhms and what not. they can real put things into perspective.
this chourse makse me think of jesus standing in the water. for he is the earth and the water.
you know i think the second coming of jeues is that he will be symbolic in everyones harts and minds.
i think this also of the anti chirst.
seeing ass how we cant get together to pick one person for the third
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the reason you have no evidence he exists is because you choose to deny Him. if only you'd open your mind & heart, he'll reveal himself to you in such a way that would be more believable than anything worldy!
God bless you, i hope that YOU will wake up already :)
I quoted the Kalevala verses (in english) that give the basis for this song. I dont really understand your objection, the info I put up here is unquestionably relevant to the song.
I love this album. I´m not the guy who hear a lot of death metal or hard rock, but I remember this album when I heard it with a friend in 1994 and at this time I became a Amorphis Fan!!!
I remember getting a free copy of this cassette back in '94 from a friend of mine who DJ'd our college radio station, still one of my favorite albums!!!
I've gotta get this album, too bad they arn't popular over here. This has to be the best song I've heard that has the rawwr lyrics to em. Amazing...I've listened to this like 40 ttimes this week
Surely their best album and their best sound but I like how they evolved today as well. Music and moods of the creators change so does the sound. I am glad at least they aren't doing pop or rnb ;)
There's gotta be some kinda masturbatory innuendo in there somewhere... however u interpret this comment I agree whole-heartedly! The album is AWESOME!!!
