Esa in Iceland

Amorphis is from Finland, but they are partly responsible for my obsession with Iceland. That’s because I got super into their music, which at the time drew on the Kalevala for lyrical content. Being me, I had to read the Kalevala. Once I read the Kalevala, the Eddas and the Icelandic sagas were an inevitable next step, and the rest, as they say, is history.

I dreamed of seeing them play in Iceland. Despite the geographic proximity of Finland and Iceland, Amorphis had never, in their 20+ year history, played that country. Until Eistnaflug 2016. Well, I flew to LA to see them once. This one was a no-brainer. I wanted to go to Eistnaflug anyway.
