>From the Fall/Winter issue of Progression magazine, in an article about
prog-metal bands:
"Amorphis, Elegy.  Once a standard death metal band, Amorphis has become one
of the most adventurous and smart metal bands working today.  On Elegy, they
took their inspiration from the 19th century book of Finnish lore, the
Kanteletar.  In these 10 too-short songs, electric and acoustic guitars meld
seamlessly with sitars and tambourines to create a folk-metal sound unlike
any other.
   Amorphis is a metal band that plays absolutely no heed to genre
traditions and trends.  For instance, the keyboard player lists
Parliament/Funkadelic as his chief influence, and the song "Cares" has a
polka interlude, for god sakes!
   Another point of interest: the follow-up disc, the My Kantele EP, sports
a fantastic cover of Hawkwind's "Levitation" and sees the band developing a
knack for space rock."
