Amorphis - The Beginning Of Times CD

Released in 2011, The Beginning Of Times marks a powerful chapter in the evolution of Finnish metal legends Amorphis. Following the highly successful Skyforger, the band answered critics who longed for a heavier edge by reintroducing a stronger presence of Tomi Joutsen’s expressive growls, while maintaining the band’s trademark melodic and progressive identity.

Without reverting to their early death metal roots, Amorphis skillfully expand their sonic palette. Roughly two thirds of the album feature harsh vocals alongside clean passages, creating a dynamic and emotionally rich listening experience. Unusual rhythmic breaks, progressive structures and the addition of female guest vocals give the album depth and variety, ensuring it stands as more than just a continuation of its predecessor.

Musically, The Beginning Of Times is a masterful fusion of Nordic folk influences, warm 70s-inspired progressive rock atmospheres and gothic metal elegance. Piano-driven passages, layered instrumentation and carefully crafted melodies give the album a distinctly Finnish character, praised by critics as one of the band’s most harmonious and immersive works.

Widely acclaimed by press and fans alike, the album was hailed as another masterpiece in Amorphis’ discography, powerful, emotional and refined. The Beginning Of Times proves once again that Amorphis continue to evolve while staying true to the melancholic spirit and artistic depth that made them one of the most respected bands in metal music.
