My Kantele

Amorphis

A transitionary EP where Finnish mythology meets 70s prog. Earthy acoustic kantele melodies paired with warm Hammond organs and baritone storytelling.

March 14, 1997 · Relapse Records

A warm, autumnal reflection that balances the weight of ancient myths with the airiness of psychedelic rock.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the earthy acoustic strumming into the swirling, psychedelic Hammond organ solo during the title track's folk reimagining.
The eerie, weightless vocal delivery on Levitation that mimics the feeling of rising off the floor.
The sudden, heavy rhythmic shift in The Lost Son that bridges the gap between their death metal roots and their prog-rock future.
