"Tuonela" is the fourth full-length album by Amorphis. It is named for Tuonela, the realm of the dead in Finnish mythology. It shares inspiration with many of their productions in the text and themes of the Kalevala or Finnish Epic. The style of the album is less progressive, like its predecessor, "Elegy", but rather a stoner/doom metal record, with progressive metal/progressive rock elements except few more progressive and rock-sounding songs including "Divinity", "The Way", "Summer's End", "Tuonela" and "Northern Lights". "Northern Lights" is a bonus track for the Japanese edition. The album was licensed to Nuclear Blast in Europe. A music video was made for the song "Divinity".
