-'''''Tales from the Thousand Lakes''''' is the second studio album by Finnish heavy metal band [[Amorphis]]. It is a concept album, the lyrics are based on the Finnish national epic, ''Kalevala''. It was their first departure from the [[death metal]] sound of their debut album to a more [[melodic death metal|melodic death]]/[[doom metal]] sound, with more influence from early bands influential to doom metal like [[Black Sabbath]] and [[Pentagram]]. This album features a greater use of synthesizers and clean vocals than their previous release, which was devoid of both.
