AMORPHIS

VINYL COLLECTION 2006-2020 NUCLEAR BLAST/EMP

£209.99

IF EVER A band’s back catalogue demanded to be resurrected on lovely, lushsounding vinyl, it’s Finland’s masters of folk-fuelled, prog-centric melodeath. Amorphis have been extraordinarily consistent over the years, and this lavish box set is the shiny proof. Comprising everything from vocalist Tomi Joutsen’s first album with the band, 2006’s Eclipse, to early-years retrospective Magic & Mayhem and the widescreen melodrama of 2018’s acclaimed Queen Of Time, this 17-disc extravaganza is available exclusively on grey vinyl via those stand-up folk at EMP. The whole thing weighs a ton and will definitely kill you if it falls on your head from any significant height. But what a way to go! tinyurl.com/amorphis-boxset
