To all who have responded to this album, I salute you all!! Especially those of you of my generation, who had this in their disc player in 1996. It is a wonderful thing, the metal community, who have never met each other, but have that same connection. Nobody will ever know what it feels like to have that bond like the metal brothers and sisters of my generation. Stand tall and know that no matter what life brings, this community stands together in solidarity! Hail to you all!!!!

I haven't listened to this album in decades. I'd forgotten how much I love it. I purchased Karellian Isthmus, 1,000 lakes, Elegy and Tunella within a few days of their release dates. I still have the CD's in a box filled with thousands of CD's in my storage loft. 😅

There's no 90's without Amorphis - Elegy

It was the year 1996 and my first ever summer festival in Nummirock, Finland. I was there with my friend and my also first ever girlfriend. We had so great time there with Deep Purple, Sepultura, Amorphis... At one point I noticed a spoiled c-cassette on the ground when wandering around that huge area. I picked it up(as an old hoarder 🙄) and read: Amorphis Elegy. When I was back home I meticulously rolled the out-ripped tape and placed it into firm frame. And it sounded so great💜🇫🇮 Later in my life I made friends with Pasi 'Öhe' Koskinen (doing clean vocs here ) when he played and sang in Ajattara. After all this our country Finland is small and packed with great music and artists...

Elegy (Amorphis), Draconian Times (Paradise Lost), Wolfheart (Moonspell), and even 1993's Turn Loose the Swans (My Dying Bride) were constantly in my CD player! 1996 marked a very bad and depressing year for me, and these albums got me through some very rough times!

Truly a moment in metal.

Today's music is all about being active on social media. This wasn't the fact in the late 90's and early 00's. That's what made this music so fucking good.

25 Years of Elegy! Surely the most psychedelic metal album I've heard!

Aaaahhhh... this brought back memories of the time I had difficulties sleeping because the songs of this album would play on infinite loop in my head... Amorphis are unique.

This album is so mesmerizing, it is a real masterpiece.

Mine too, same feeling about this music. Half lifetime and the music feels like I´m just 16.

I used to spend summer holidays with my brother back in the late 1990s. We stayed at our grandma up in the attic - a little cosy room with a cassette player. Guess what I discovered there... You are right. If you ask me about a perfect holiday of a lifetime, it'll surely be the same attic 20 years later, LSD, and the very same cassette that I still cherish until this day. TRUE MASTERPIECE.

The whole album is a masterpiece. When I got it, I loved it from first spin.

Wonderful album! Very creative songs,nice melodies,awesome lyrics! This work has an unique styel,combining elements of Death Metal,Melodic Metal,Progressive Rock keyboards,ethnic music,etc..Great band! A classic form the 90`s! 10!!!

This is a magic album, my favorite, unique, unlike anything else, thanks for that, gentlemen

Dude '95 was the dark ages. Priest, Maiden, Sabbath and many more broken up, 'tullica and Megadeth going down the shitter... Clawfinger, Dog Eat Dog and Faith no More on Magazine covers. Ew. There were some bands coming up under the radar though like Nevermore, Opeth and the whole Black Metal Scene...

This and my kantelle will always be pertinent. Written in stone, yet this music must roam.

Fuuuuuuuuck. After I found this album again after 15 years, I cant stop listening to it. 2 months gone not missing one day.

This is Amorphis best album..Kanteletar.

A collection of excellent track. Not a single filler. True magic.

Wowww!An unforgettable album since 1996.I listened very much...master of all amorphis albums.....\m/

My favorite metal album of all time, and that's saying a lot...

438 likes is a tragedy, this album (and it's predecessor) is legendary.

Such great use of the double harmonic Major scale on the first track.

The only album I never skip a single moment. Each song is extraordinary on it's own, even the acoustic My Kantele has different vibes than the original one. Best album of all times!!

Better now than back in the day, for me at least... I remember appreciating the band's musicianship, but not being fully won over by this album. Obviously it was me who wasn't ready for this. Now I enjoy every single note of it, masterpiece!
