Did not make it in time for Omnium.. Very unfortunate. Atlanta traffic sucks. MoonSpell and Amorphis were my main interests and both groups performed greatly! Cheers to Dark Tranquility as well. A show I could not miss.

About
Amorphis in Concert
These Finnish heavy metallers create expansive music best described as death-flavored prog folk. And with songs inspired by the Kalevala – a 19th-century epic poem of Finnish folklore and mythology – one could say they truly require a big arsenal of sounds. Founded in 1990 out of the embers of thrash band Violent Solution, Amorphis rose from the ashes and released demo ‘Disment of Soul' the following year. Relapse Records took notice and offered them a deal. And the rest was history. Their debut LP, ‘The Karelian Isthmus,' came out in 1992, starting up an aggressive drive of records that would continue to the present day.
1996's ‘Elegy' was their first to chart in Finland, reaching No. 8; it also charted in Germany and Japan. Gaining steam, Amorphis would go on to top the charts in 2001 with ‘Am Universum,' an album that featured No. 1 hit single "Alone." They would release two more No. 1 singles in 2006's "House of Sleep" and 2009's "Silver Bride." In 2006, the group scored their first certified No. 1 album in Finland with ‘Eclipse,' an album with a unified and anthemic rock/heavy-metal sound. Most of their albums going forward would reach No. 1 in their own country. Then 2009's ‘Skyforger' saw them chart in North America for the first time, where they reached No. 33 on Billboard's U.S. Heatseekers. They went on to reach No. 3 in North America again with their 2018 album ‘Queen of Time.'?
As one would expect of any band that's been rocking for almost 30 years, Amorphis has seen a number of personnel changes, but founders Esa Holopainen (lead guitar) and Tomi Koivusaari (rhythm guitar, backing vocals) have been jamming since day one; a few other early members left and returned.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Best concert I've ever been to
by sashkello on 12/18/13Factory Theatre - SydneyThese guys are really great live! The vocalist was like a living demon with unimaginable energy bursting out of him through his voice and the whole quality of playing was very high. Sound quality was far above average for a metal concert - I'm quite frustrated about some artists just wanting to jam up the volume to the max and whatever you play will just sound like noise wall. Amorphis is a different story - the riffs, the rythm and the vocals all in harmony! Amazing! The only complaint of mine is that they played a bit too much of the newer stuff which is not that great, but on the other hand they did play some of their early songs which I was excited to hear live (Against Widows, Black Winter Day, Into Hiding and my favourite Drowned Maid). I respect these guys for this commitment to their roots... the diversity of setlist was pretty cool. All in all, highly recommended!
