To celebrate their ten-year anniversary Amorphis decided to release a compilation album containing only their classic hits. “Chapters” contains 17 songs(!!!) with far over 70 minutes of typical melodic heavy metal from Finland. And this compilation gives a perfect account of the evolution of Amorphis. From “Warrior`s Trail”, “The Exile Of The Sons Of Uisliu” and “The Lost Name Of God” from their debut “The Karelian Isthmus” to “Alone” and “Drifting Memories” from their most current “Am Umniversum”. Also classics like “Black Winter Day” and “The Castaway” from “Tales Of The Thousand Lakes” are there.

And of course my personal Amorphis favourite “Better Unborn” could not be left untouched. As I said, Amorphis always have evolved in their own way, and lost fans in the past but certainly have gotten many other fans back instead. Interested? Food for the die hard Amorphis fan. And if you have never heard of this band don’t hesitate and get acquainted. And then the dessert: There even is a bonus DVD coming with all that. With quality video clips of “Alone”, “Divinity”, “My Kantele”, “Against Widows” and “Black Winter Day”. Great compilation.
