{"product_id":"diskheaven-166600536","title":"Amorphis \/ Halo (2CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCatalog number: GQCS-91139\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmorphis is a heavy metal band from Finland. Formed in 1990. At the time, they were playing death metal inspired by Morbid Angel, Carcass, Paradise Lost, etc. After getting a contract with America's prestigious Relapse Records, they made their debut album in 1992 with ``The Karelian Isthmus''. Their second album, ``Tales from the Thousand Lakes'' (1994), which featured organ and Minimoog, is a timeless masterpiece that is still talked about to this day. After their third album ``Elegy'' in 1996, they were influenced by progressive rock bands such as Kingston Wall and Piirpauke from their hometown, and boldly introduced elements of not only Finnish but also oriental folk music. They have grown into an extremely popular band that is supported not only by heavy metal fans but also by rock fans. Since then, they have continued to consistently release high-quality albums every few years. 2018's ``Queen of Time'' was a heavy, progressive masterpiece that entertained both old and new Amorphis fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey are releasing their first new album in three years, ``Halo.'' Regarding this album, guitarist Esa Holopainen says, ``It's a typical Amorphis piece from start to finish, but it's a little heavier and more progressive than the previous album.'' Vocalist Tomi Joosten, on the other hand, said, ``There are parts of the arrangement that are simpler than the previous album.'' By making the simple parts simpler, the big arrangements are made to stand out even more. Heavy, progressive, and sometimes exotic. Tomi's use of growl and clean is also wonderful. And of course, it's full of melancholy melodies typical of Amorphis. This is definitely Amorphis, a perfect finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mix and production was of course done by Jens Bogren, who knows everything about Amorphis. The Japanese version comes with a live CD containing 10 live songs!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e[CD] [2022\/2\/11]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MochiobaseCD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67831371727152,"sku":"GQCS-91139","price":47.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0820\/6585\/0672\/files\/166600536.jpg?v=1790125686","url":"https:\/\/mochiobasecd.com\/products\/diskheaven-166600536","provider":"MochiobaseCD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
