'''''Tuonela''''' is the fourth studio album by Finnish heavy metal band [[Amorphis]].  
 
The album is named from Tuonela, the realm of the dead in Finnish mythology.  The album also shares inspiration with many of the band's productions in the text and themes of the Kalevala, or Finnish Epic.
 
 
The style is less progressive, like its predecessor, ''[[Elegy (Amorphis album)|Elegy]]'', but rather a [[stoner metal|stoner]]/[[doom metal]] record, with [[progressive metal]]/progressive rock elements, except few more progressive and rock-sounding songs including "Divinity" (which has a music video), "The Way", "Summer's End", "Tuonela" and "Northern Lights".
 
 
This album was the last release with original and long time bassist, [[Olli-Pekka Laine]], who quit a year after this release in 2000, because of musical differences and to focus on his family.<ref>http://vampster.com/artikel.php?id=1077</ref>
