Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus album cover | |||||||||||||||
The Karelian Isthmus is the debut album by Amorphis. It features death grunts, and is a predominantly death metal album with heavy doom metal influence and Celtic-folk melodies.
Although The Karelian Isthmus took its name from a historic Finnish battleground, its lyrics focus on themes of warfare and religion, drawing from Celtic mythology rather than the traditions of Amorphis' own native land. In recent years, songs from this album have been receiving more play during Amorphis' live performances, despite being of a different style than their later works. It was re-released in 2003 with all the songs from the "Privilege of Evil" EP added as bonus tracks. Track listing: 1. "Karelia" (Holopainen, Koivusaari) – 0:44 2.
