Amorphis – Far From The Sun – Review

April 4, 2005

Enigmatic lead singer Pasi Koskinen’s swansong is an interesting, not altogether successful, return to heaviness, although it’s more la trip to a new heaviness.

Death Is Just The Beginning: Vol. 7 – Review

Amorphis – My Kantele – Review

September 1, 1997
