just bought their last album (and my first by them), and to me one of the best melodic symph metal albums i have heard so far, it furfills my absolutt taste for metal, and have all the things I crave for in metal, melody, edge, symphonic structure, melancholy and vocal harmonisatisation
they are from Suomi/Finland, and are awesome
this is the last album (the one I gott)
this album is clearly symphonic progressive metal, with melodic focus also edgy
 they are on MMA but they should fit here as well -------------

Amorphis you say, well well, where have I seen that name before... They've been rejected and there is no unanimity as to there proggyness so the best we could do is Prog-related. If you know of any progmetal bands influenced by Amorphis you're welcome. |

so you say this is NOT progressive metal, for me they are in every note they play and they are good to not sound like another DT wannaby/soundalike, they are a bit lighter then Opeth, more progressive then In Flames, and more folksy
this is prog metal to me, much like Threshold is progressive metal and ACT are progressive rock/metal so are Amorphis. melodic, but also growling ,and the synth work and atmospheres are to me progressive indluenced, sounds like Genesis influenced and 80s influenced

I said that not everyone thinks they are prog metal and that they have been rejected because of that. For me, they are definitely Prog Metal, mainly because of their '95-'00 albums, but certainly not because of Skyforger which is a melodic death album with folk elements, not Prog. |

These guys fit into progressive metal for me. I just started listening to them, and they satisfy my progressive ears. Metal Music Archives calls them Progressive Metal as well. I think this should be reexamined as they now have more albums. |

^ MMA allows multiple genre tags. Amorphis started as a death metal band so those albums have that tag. Some of their albums are prog-ish. I get it why they've been rejected before.

No point in resurrecting a dead case and thread. I cannot recall Amorhpis playing progressive metal, even in their best days of Elegy. If there are some samples post-2011 that you really think are worth our time please post here, thanks.
