Sunlight’s founder, Tomas Skogsberg, understood. He produced the album Karelian Isthmus, which was released in 1992. The record is classified as death metal, but something inside Amorphis was already changing. The band members had begun listening to Pink Floyd, Camel, Jethro Tull, King Crimson and other ‘70s prog-rock bands.
“Until we were 16, we thought everything except death metal was crap. In those days we used to throw good records off the balcony, or drill holes in them. Then it just suddenly changed. One day when I was playin
