"From The Heaven Of My Heart", the new video from AMORPHIS, can be viewed below. The clip was directed by Owe Lingwall of Sweden's Village Road Film and was filmed at various locations throughout Finland. The track can be found on AMORPHIS' new CD, "Skyforger", which was honored in the "Metal Album Of The Year" category at this year's Emma Gaala (Finnish Grammy equivalent).



AMORPHIS was nominated in two categories at this year's Emma Gaala — "Metal Album Of The Year" and "Domestic Artist Of The Year".



"Skyforger" sold around 1,300 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 33 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.



"Skyforger" entered the official chart in the band's home country at position No. 1. Released on May 29, 2009 via Nuclear Blast Records (May 27 in Finland), the follow-up to the "Eclipse" and "Silent Waters" LPs, both of which were certified gold in the band's native Finland, was recorded at Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki.

ok, well then lets get some pasi-era material up in that bitch



we all know it exists, there were goddamn 3 tracks' worth of it on the elegy rerelease that came out like 7 years ago



i guess now that they have this new fella and they're making gold records in their homeland they can just refuse to acknowledge their heritage and all that



I SEE HOW IT IS

[TamPron]

3 tracks worth? um, pasi was the singer for that album.

[Mesarthim]
