The central character of the new songs is the iconic hero of Finnish mythology, Väinämöinen, whose tale has been masterfully retold by lyricist Pekka Kainulainen. Titled THE BEGINNING OF TIMES, the new album is Amorphis’ most challenging release so far in terms of both music and lyrics. It comprises 12 songs with a total length of 54 minutes. In addition, the first edition digipack will include the bonus track “Heart’s Song”.
THE BEGINNING OF TIMES was produced by the band; vocals were recorded under the guidance of Marco Hietala in his home studio in Kuopio. Like its predecessors, the album was mixed by Mikko Karmila. Its cover artwork shows Travis Smith’s magnificent interpretation of the mythological birth of the world from a goldeneye’s egg.
In June, Amorphis will embark on the extensive THE BEGINNING OF TIMES tour, which is scheduled to continue through 2012.

Sa vedem cum o sa fie. Ar merge parca o schimbare, ca ultimele albume sunt foarte misto dar parca prea asemanatoare.
