I think I've been growing it for twelve years or something, pretty long. What kind of music, metal or not, have you been listening recently?

Let talk a bit about Amorphis material of the last 2 years. The deluxe edition of Forging The Land of a Thousand Lake was a fantastic package, which made me discover Amorphis, actually. Was this a band decision or a label decision? Is Finland the land of the thousands lakes? Yes, there are thousands and thousands lakes and also forests. A lot of suicide also.

I was living an hour away from Helsinki by that point, so when I started going I really got to see the scene for the first time. It was really fucking cool, like being in a secret club. Before that I had been the drummer in a speed metal band in high school, but I was the only guy with the guts to take on singing, because growling was a very new thing and nobody really knew how to do it.
