They were going to bring Nordic sorrow to their legions in Europe and North America, but in the waning winter months of last year, their plans were indefinitely put on ice due to the pandemic. \"We were supposed to play anniversary shows in Europe and North America,\" vocalist Mikko Kotamäki recalls. \"We started our European tour in Finland in February 2020 and played 10 gigs. Everything got canceled two weeks after that. Luckily, we filmed and recorded our gig in Helsinki. Now, everyone can see it. At the time, we didn't know the footage or recordings would be used for this purpose.\" The traits that set \"20 Years of Gloom Beauty and Despair Live in Helsinki\" apart from almost any live album out there were the acoustic performance (with a string quartet) of \"Songs from the North II\" and a fan-voted setlist that featured not only some of the group's most-performed songs (\"Swallow (Horror, Part 1),\" \"Cathedral Walls\") to date but also a bevy of live rarities (\"Empires of Loneliness,\" \"Plague of Butterflies,\" and \"Here on the Black Earth\"). \"I can't wait for our fans to hear it,\" grins singer Mikko Kotamäki. \"We were going to spread doom and gloom over Europe and North America in the flesh, but that couldn't be, so we've got the next best thing, our first-ever live album.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWomb of Winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeart of a Cold White Land\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePray for the Winds to Come\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSongs From the North\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e66°50'N, 28°40'E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutumn Fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBefore the Summer Dies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLost ; Catatonic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpires of Loneliness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFalling World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCathedral Walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaque of Butterflies, Pt.
