The new album is the most challenging Amorphis album so far in terms
of both music and lyrics. Its central character is the iconic hero of
Finnish mythology, Väinämöinen, whose tale has been masterfully retold
by lyricist Pekka Kainulainen. The Beginning Of Times was
produced by the band; vocals were recorded under the guidance of Marco
Hietala in his home studio in Kuopio. Like its predecessors, the album
was mixed by Mikko Karmila. Its cover artwork shows Travis Smith’s
magnificent interpretation of the mythological birth of the world from a goldeneye’s egg.

In June, Amorphis will embark on the extensive The Beginning Of Times tour, which is scheduled to continue through 2012.
