They are also doing second US tour on spring 2008, see their site for more info.

So, if you haven't ever heard of them and can go to check the show - and of course, you like melodic metal music - , do it. :-) You won't regret that. Sonata Arctica is perhaps one of the best Finnish bands ever.

 

Amorphis's newest release is soon here :-)

Amorphis is a Finnish band playing melodic metal, for those of you who don't know it, one of my favorites. They play kind of death metal too (some grunts here and there) however I don't count that since it's 99% melodic. :-) They find lyrics to their songs from Finnish Kalevala, the national epic.

They are releasing new record "Silent Waters" in August. In case you know other Finnish bands / high quality of Finnish metal music, you know, that this is gonna be great, and I assure, it is. The single from Silent Waters is great. Their previous record, Eclipse was great too.

Check out the band at: http://www.amorphis.net

EDIT: I forgot to add that you'll find their videos at: http://www.kingfooentertainment.fi/subsites/amorphis/download.php
