The Karelian Isthmus
''The Karelian Isthmus'' is the title of the first full-length studio LP album of Finnish metal band Amorphis, released in 1992. Although ''The Karelian Isthmus'' took its name from a historic Finnish battleground, Karelian Isthmus, its lyrics focus on Amorphis's well known epic themes from the history of Finnish warfare and religion, but drawing more from Celtic mythology rather than the later traditions of Amorphis's own native land. The epic side is sometimes broken up by the occult lyrical themes in tracks including "Pilgrimage", "Misery Path" and "Black Embrace". In recent years, songs from this album have been receiving more play during Amorphis' live performances, despite being of a different style than their later works. This release was the last recorded release to have the original lineup of the band as later on the band would have either additional members or original members quitting. ''Privilege of Evil'' was the last release with the original lineup, but it was re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Karelia (band)
Karelia is a French heavy metal band created in 2000 by Lionel Vest and Matthieu Kleiber. Biography Karelia first released a self-titled demo in 2000. Their first full-length album ''Usual Tragedy'' was released in 2004 on the German label Drakkar Records. The orchestral arrangements give it its symphonic heavy metal (or simply symphonic metal) tag. Lyricwise, ''Usual Tragedy'' is a concept album about a man who crossed both World Wars, lost his father during the first one, lost his beloved one during the second one, witnessed the violence and the madness of men, eventually lost his own sanity and died alone and anonymous in an hospital. Their second studio album, ''Raise'', released in 2005 on Drakkar Records as well, is not as orchestral as ''Usual Tragedy'' but has dark, melancholic atmospheres that could already be heard on the first album as well and that seem to be the band's trademark; that's why Karelia's music is also sometimes called gothic metal.

The Karelia
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things already mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with pronouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of pronoun ''thee'') when followed by a ...

Karelia Suite
''Karelia Suite'', Op. 11 is a subset of pieces from the longer ''Karelia Music'' (named after the region of Karelia) written by Jean Sibelius in 1893 for the Viipuri Students' Association and premiered, with Sibelius conducting, at the Imperial Alexander University in Helsinki, Grand Duchy of Finland, on 23 November of that year. Sibelius first conducted the shorter ''Suite'' ten days later; it remains one of his most popular works. ''Karelia Music'' was written in the beginning of Sibelius's compositional career, and the complete ''Music'' consists of an Overture, 8 Tableaux, and 2 Intermezzi; it runs for about 44 minutes, whereas the ''Suite'' lasts about 12 minutes. The rough-hewn character of the ''Music'' was deliberate – the aesthetic intention was not to dazzle with technique but to capture the quality of naive, folk-based authenticity. Historical comments have noted the nationalistic character of the music. Orchestration The piece is orchestrated for three flutes ...
