Amorphis

A Finnish English-language metal group. The group was founded in 1990 by Jan Rechberger and Esa Holopainen. The group's first albums were characterized by a combination of Finnish folk music and death-doom metal. On later recordings, the influence of progressive rock appeared; starting with the album Elegy, in addition to Tomi Koivusaari's growling, the clean vocals of Pasi Koskinen appeared. Amorphis's lyrics use motifs of folk Finnish poetry, including the Kalevala epic.
