专辑介绍
by Vincent Jeffries
Death metal isn't for everyone -- especially first-wave Scandinavian death metal as practiced by Amorphis during the band's early years. Some love it, others don't know how seriously to take it, but everyone agrees that the folks who make such an extremely singular noise deserve a little credit for valuing an artistic construct more than the potential commercial value of more "acceptable" music. That same respect isn't usually extended to artists who make the kind of moderate rock that's perpetually heard on the radio. When artists make a break from the heavier side of this spectrum, a special kind of hatefulness is extended, and cries of "sellout" are heard emitting from the jilted voices in the heavy metal peanut gallery. As an automatic response, these accusations are short-sighted and reactionary. Years spent trying to make a living by playing death metal must have its frustrations, and nobody should be criticized for trying something new. When the results are as stifling as Tuonela , however, certain artistic "freedoms" shouldn't exactly be encouraged, either. While the record's generic hard rock turned out to be a commercial boon, it's an artistic flop. Except for a grumbling vocal on "Greed," all remnants of the group's death metal roots had vanished by this, the band's fifth release. It's hard to think that many fans of Amorphis' early work could stomach the barely metallic alt-rock on tracks like "Shining" and "Morning Star." Even without Amorphis' history, Tuonela is still a frustrating record. The guitars are shapeless and barely present, the extra instrumentation is forced, and the vocals are wooden. It all adds up to a kind of simple, lightweight prog that's kind of unnerving. This second take on metal began for Amorphis on Elegy , and that record along with everything after (including Tuonela ) should only be approached with extreme caution.

- @Kya(Modo corvo n...)：Tuonela是《卡勒瓦拉》中的冥界，而这张专辑的封面为何是一桠树枝，不免让人觉得有些蹊跷。据我猜测专辑封面上的是“金枝”，正如《埃涅伊德》中的爱涅阿斯在前往冥界前也折下了一枝金枝，而金枝实际上就是槲寄生。 Earendel 2012-01-13 20:09 这张专辑是标题党，我们都被骗了……歌词全是是歌特金属那种的，标题党害人啊…… Earendel 2012-02-05 16:08 哪儿说的这植物是：桠树？ Earendel 2012-02-07 16:13 说： 植物个头。
- @Kya(Modo corvo n...)：Tuonela也是Kalevala史诗中的一处地名。可见这乐队在某种程度上是一个芬兰民族主义乐队。 paoe (\m/) 2014-06-09 02:49 芬兰民族主义意识相当明显，并且一直在作品中出现，特别是92那张，和俄罗斯之间都战争叙述 来自iPhone客户端 Kya (Modo corvo n...) 2014-06-09 09:17 paoe说： 很多人喜欢把芬兰乐队一股脑儿归入维金金属，我觉得其实不是很妥当。他们能够被如此归入，有时只是从演奏技巧方面考虑的，而非主题。Korpiklaani、Amorphis等都是最为典型的芬兰民族主义乐队，可惜真正能够静下心来深入了解一些的听众很少。 paoe (\m/) 2014-11-27 01:17 Kya说： 大神，Skyforger，拉脱维亚那个团，Kurbads专辑，封面故事和内容，等大神详述 来自iPhone客户端 Kya (Modo corvo n...) 2014-11-28 23:10 paoe说： 那个我不熟… 来自iPhone客户端
