EN For the 15th anniversary of their most melancholic piece of art, AMORPHIS finally reissue “Silent Waters†on vinyl After the great comeback success with new singer Tomi Joutsen and magnificient album "Eclipse" in 2006, AMORPHIS once more dug deep in the Finnish national epic Kalevala, creating another dark and beautiful masterpiece: "Silent Waters". "We have put a lot of energy and emotion into this album", says guitarist and band founder Esa Holopainen, "and hopefully it will reflect". Shining with exquisite vocals between clean melancholy and powerful growls – once more worked up with the help of Marko Hietala (NIGHTWISH, TAROT) – plus gorgeous folkloristic melodies embedded in straight Rock outfits, "Silent Waters" pleases with songs like the fleet-footed 'Towards And Against', the touching single 'Silent Waters' and the stirring 'Her Alone'. A strong and pithy, yet sensitive album, emphasizing AMORPHIS' status as one of the most outstanding Rock acts nowadays. Founded in Helsinki back in 1990, AMORPHIS constantly worked their way up, developing from a harsh Death Metal band into a serious Rock group. The big break-through came in 1994 with their last really extreme album "Tales From The Thousand Lakes“, scoring a big coup in the worldwide Metal scene. After intensive touring, AMORPHIS decided to discover new musical grounds and hired Pasi Koskinen, who additionally worked with clean vocals, as new singer, leaving guitarist and former singer Tomi Koivusaari the chance to focus more on his six string work. In 1996, AMORPHIS released "Elegy", a Progressive / Folk Metal masterpiece which even managed to climb to # 67 in the German album charts. Three years later, "Tuonela" showed up, combining Modern Rock music with Finnish character and psychedelic 70s influences. A highly successful mix that even topped the triumph of "Elegy", achieving a brilliant # 46 in the German charts again. "Am Universum" was added to the discography in 2001, opening up a new chapter in AMORPHIS' sound with featured electronic soundscapes and saxophone parts. Follow-up "Far From The Sun" eventually fascinated with a PINK FLOYD-esque touch and relaxed atmosphere, but also some more harder Metal elements back from the old days. Many fans hailed the album as the best since the legendary "Elegy". DE Zum 15. Jubiläum ihres melancholischen Kunstwerks veröffentlichen AMORPHIS “Silent Waters†endlich wieder auf Vinyl Nach dem Comeback-Erfolg mit dem neuen Sänger Tomi Joutsen und dem großartigen Album „Eclipse“ im Jahr 2006 gruben AMORPHIS erneut tief im finnischen Nationalepos Kalevala und erschufen ein weiteres düsteres und wunderschönes Meisterwerk: „Silent Waters“. „Wir haben viel Energie und Emotion in dieses Album gesteckt“, sagt Gitarrist und Bandgründer Esa Holopainen. „Silent Waters“ besticht mit herausragenden Clean-Vocals zwischen Melancholie und kraftvollen Growls – mal wieder aufgenommen mit Hilfe von Marko Hietala (NIGHTWISH, TAROT) – dazu wunderschöne folkloristische Melodien eingebettet in Rock-Momenten, begeistert „Silent Waters“ mit Songs wie dem leichtfüßigen 'Towards And Against“, die berührende Single „Silent Waters“ und das mitreißende „Her Alone“. Ein starkes und prägnantes, aber dennoch sensibles Album, das AMORPHIS' Status als einer der herausragendsten Rock-Acts unserer Zeit unterstreicht. 1990 in Helsinki gegründet, arbeiteten sich AMORPHIS stetig nach oben und entwickelten sich von einer harschen Death-Metal-Band zu einer weltberühmten Rock-Gruppe. Der große Durchbruch gelang 1994 mit ihrem letzten wirklich extremen Album „Tales From The Thousand Lakes“, das einen großen Coup in der weltweiten Metal-Szene landete. Nach intensiven Tourneen beschloss AMORPHIS, musikalisches Neuland zu betreten und engagierte Pasi Koskinen, der zusätzlich mit klaren Vocals arbeitete, als neuen Sänger, was dem Gitarristen und ehemaligen Säng
