One of my favourite bands! Also the band that got me into extreme metal.
I'd recommend:  Tales From the Thousand Lakes (1994) It's got seriously guttural death vocals and VERY catchy tunes, I just can't help gargling along with "Drowned Maid" & "In the Beginning"  Elegy (1996) Half death / half AMAZING 70S INSPIRED PROG! This is probably the album to start with.  Am Universum (2001) A strange album! Kind of like The Doors if they were a metal band (???) their most psychedelic album, layers and layers of effects-heavy guitars, awesome Hammond organ and saxophone sprayed liberally over the top.  Silent Waters (2007) Their second album with Tomi Joutsen singing. More folky than "Eclipse" it tells the story of Lemminkainen from The Kalevala. (Also I quite like the one with the big pike on the cover)
