Amorphis Survivor 2013 - The Karelian Isthmus ROUND 1
« on: August 17, 2013, 01:28:47 AM »
Here we go:

The Karelian Isthmus



I left out Vulgar Necrolatry since it's a cover song.

Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Karelian_Isthmus
The Karelian Isthmus is the debut album of Finnish metal band Amorphis, released in 1993.
Although The Karelian Isthmus took its name from a historic Finnish battleground, Karelian Isthmus, its lyrics focus on Amorphis's well known epic themes from the history of Finnish warfare and religion, but drawing more from celtic mythology rather than the later traditions of Amorphis's own native land. The epic side is sometimes broken up by the occult lyrical themes in tracks including "Pilgrimage", "Misery Path" and "Black Embrace". 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.

Not sure yet, have to listen to it again later today.

It was also a bonus track for the CD edition of the album when it came out, so you did the right thing.

I vote for Misery Path; such a forgettable and boring song.

I was thinking the Lost Name of God, but I fine with Misery Path.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.
