Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing the conceptual focus on the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala, the band crafted a beautifully melancholic narrative centered around the tragic character of Lemmink盲inen. The album elegantly balances Tomi Joutsen's dual clean and harsh vocal deliveries with sweeping, folk-infused progressive metal instrumentation.
