Amorphis will release their new live album Live At Helsinki Ice Hall on May 21 and are now streaming their performance of "House Of Sleep", off their 2006 album Eclipse.
"Helsinki Ice Hall, what can I say… the very same venue where we used to see bands like Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Metallica and many many more back in the 80’s when we were kids”, said guitarist and vocalist Tomi Koivusaari. “I’m sure we all dreamed about playing there someday. In our hometown Helsinki, where it all started with Amorphis 30 years ago. So I’d say we had a special feeling at that gig, the last one of the tour in Finland for that year.
"I guess this recording is a very honest picture of us playing live, nothing is fixed afterwards, except mightily mixed and mastered of course. When I listened to it a while ago, I realized how much I miss playing live. And yet we have no idea when it will be possible next, in this crazy situation with Covid and all… So, stay healthy, take care and shine on you all, see you hopefully soon on tour. We will."
Live At Helsinki Ice Hall is available for pre-order on CD and as a download. The vinyl version is only available through the Vinyl Collection 2006 – 2020 box set.
