AllMusic[1]

The album is named from Tuonela, the realm of the dead in Finnish mythology. The album also shares inspiration with many of the band's productions in the text and themes of the Kalevala, or Finnish Epic.

This album was the last release with original and long time bassist, Olli-Pekka Laine, until his return in 2017. Laine quit a year after this release in 2000, because of musical differences and to focus on his family.[2]
