About
Elegy is the third full-length album by Finnish band Amorphi. The album is their first to feature a majority of clean vocal, sung by new vocalist Pasi Koskinen. The music and lyrics are inspired by the traditional Finnish ballads and poems compiled in the Kanteletar by Elias Lönnrot in 1840. The primary genre of the album is progressive metal, with strong folk influence, as well as elements of melodic death metal and New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Many of the albums track, e.g. "Against Widows", have become fan favorites and have been performed in concerts since Elegy's release. In 2004, Relapse Records reissued Elegy as a digipak, featuring four live bonus track. Pasi Koskinen – vocals Tomi Koivusaari – vocal, rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar, tambourine Esa Holopainen – lead guitar, acoustic guitar, electric sitar Olli-Pekka Laine – bass guitar Kim Rantala – keyboard, accordion .
