AMORPHIS Performs Acoustically On Finland's YleX Studio B Live

April 17, 2012

Earlier today (Tuesday, April 17),Finnish melancholic dark rock/metal icons AMORPHIS played a special acoustic set at YleX Studio B Live in Helsinki, Finland. The complete show can now be streamed at this location.

AMORPHIS's setlist for the performance was as follows:

01.Empty Opening
02. I Of Crimson Blood
03. Enigma
04. Sign From The North Side
05. Rusty Moon

AMORPHIS is in the middle of a tour of special concert halls in their homeland where they are performiing rarely heard material and special acoustic versions of their classics.

AMORPHIS' latest album, "The Beginning Of Times", entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 16 — the best chart position ever scored by an AMORPHIS album in that country. The CD also landed at position No. 1 on the Finnish chart.

Released on May 27, 2011 via Nuclear Blast Records, "The Beginning Of Times" is described as "the most challenging AMORPHIS album so far in terms of both music and lyrics." Its central character is the iconic hero of Finnish mythology, Väinämöinen, whose tale has been masterfully retold by lyricist Pekka Kainulainen.

"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.
