GALLERY: 7.12.2019 The Ocean, Leprous, Soilwork & Amorphis @ Jäähalli, Helsinki

A bit over a year after their first headlining show at Helsinki’s Jäähalli, AMORPHIS comes back for more with an impressive line-up of international bands to support them. It is worth mentioning that 2020 will be the 30^th anniversary of AMORPHIS and that their latest studio effort “Queen of Time” recently received gold album status in their home country. This is quite an achievement for a non-commercial metal band in the Spotify era and gives you a good idea of their reputation and popularity. Regardless of the harsh weather and the long evening program, the crowd started slowly filling the venue for the first opening band.
