281. Tales from the Thousand Lakes - Amorphis (Melodic Death Metal, 1994)
Art by Sylvain Bellemare
The lyrics originate from a translation of the "Kalevala" - a 19th-century work of epic poetry compiled by Elias Lönnrot from Karelian and Finnish oral folklore and mythology.
The Kalevala is regarded as the national epic of Karelia and Finland and is one of the most significant works of Finnish literature

⛧ my opinion & how I found about them:
They're my all-time favorite band. I discovered them in late May because my father wanted to see them live in June. I immersed myself in their first album and instantly fell in love. When June arrived, I finally saw them live! They were amazing, but the stage was way too small. If they had performed in a bigger hall, it might not have paid off because only about 50 people showed up, which is really sad considering they deserve a much larger audience. After the concert, I gradually started exploring their other albums and fell even more in love. Their thrash albums are incredibly good, these guys can really thrash! Even though I generally prefer thrash over groove/nu metal, their newer albums are great too. I can proudly say that there isn't a single song I hate. Sure, some songs are better and some are worse, but there isn't one that really sucks.
