Tales from the Thousand Lakes is the second studio album by Finnish heavy metal band Amorphis.
It is a concept album based on the Finnish national epic, Kalevala.
This showcases a more melodic sound for the band, with hints at their later, more progressive direction.
The album also introduced synthesizers and clean vocals to the band's sound, though the latter was used sparingly.
The original limited version (on digipack) had a cover of "Light My Fire" by The Doors added as a bonus track.
