My love of this band stops at 'tales from the thousand lakes', which is their absolute masterpiece. I don't really like the orientation of the later albums.
Up to 'tales from the thousand lakes', they were melodic death metal. Then they turned, erm pop ? (elegy sounded pop to my ears, the first time I heard it, I don't know the albums that followed).

Great, Tuonela and Am Universum get definitely more prog (space-rock) vibes going, but the thing about Elegy is to see it in it's context, it doesn't sound spectacularly prog today but 15 years ago this was a milestone.


I can imagine. That is the problem with borderline releases. Some prog BR prog bands were rejected mostle because they weren't as proggy as their European peers, but were absolutely revolutionary in the way of mixing Brazilian music and rock. Some of them are very influential to this day.

You were probably considered to young to bear the responsibility in case it would turn out bad. Tongue

Exactly this, except for the 9379281 tries that is.
And I would also add Am Universum to that list, many Amorphis fans don't like it but I consider it their most space-proggy, be it less "progressive" then the preceding two.

Besides, at the end of the 90s, they were always referred to as progressive metal, everywhere.

I think they'd fit in prog metal, also. They're in prog metal at MMA.

they were rejected more than once by previous progressive metal teams.

Personally, I believe they are a great band, but progressive? IDK.
