EN Being in the game for more than 30 years, successful melancholic dark rock/metal masters AMORPHIS still manage to surprise, to delight and to step up to their status. With their tenth studio album »The Beginning Of Times« these Finns prove once more that there is no other band if it comes to amazing, natural sounding melodies, deep emotions and a bit of unique sonic darkness - powerfully performed with some more really heavy parts this time around. This album will be your soundtrack for both cosy summer nights as well as the following fall and winter season! The central character of the new songs is the iconic hero of Finnish mythology, Väinämöinen, whose tale has been masterfully retold by lyricist Pekka Kainulainen. The new album definitely marks AMORPHIS' most challenging release of both music and lyrics. It comprises 12 songs with a total length of 54 minutes and the bonus track ‘Heart’s Song’. „The Beginning Of Times“ was produced by the band; vocals were recorded under the guidance of Marco Hietala (NIGHTWISH, TAROT) in his home studio in Kuopio. Like its predecessors, the album was mixed by Mikko Karmila. Its cover artwork shows Travis Smith's magnificent interpretation of the mythological birth of the world from a goldeneye's egg. DE Die Melancholic Dark Rock/Metal-Meister AMORPHIS sind seit mehr als 30 Jahren in der Szene dabei und schaffen es immer noch, zu überraschen, zu begeistern und ihren Status zu steigern. Mit ihrem zehnten Studioalbum »The Beginning Of Times«, das 2011 erschien, bewiesen die Finnen einmal mehr, dass es keine andere Band gibt, wenn es um beeindruckende, natürlich klingende Melodien, tiefe Emotionen und klangliche Dunkelheit geht – kraftvoll vorgetragen mit zahlreichen Heavy Parts. Dieses Album ist ein Soundtrack sowohl für gemütliche Sommernächte als auch für die Herbst- und Wintersaison! Die zentrale Figur der neuen Songs ist der Legenden-Held der finnischen Mythologie, Väinämöinen, dessen Geschichte vom Texter Pekka Kainulainen meisterhaft neu erzählt wurde. Das Album markiert definitiv AMORPHIS' herausforderndste Veröffentlichung in Sachen Musik und Texte. Es umfasst 12 Songs mit einer Gesamtlänge von 54 Minuten und zudem de Bonustrack „Heart’s Song“. „The Beginning Of Times“ wurde von der Band selbst produziert; Die Vocals wurden unter der Leitung von Marco Hietala (NIGHTWISH, TAROT) in seinem Heimstudio in Kuopio aufgenommen. Wie bereits die Vorgänger wurde das Album von Mikko Karmila gemischt. Das Cover-Artwork zeigt Travis Smiths grandiose Interpretation der mythologischen Geburt der Welt aus einem Ei.
