Soundi[2]

L'amourha is the third album of Sielun Veljet. It was their breakthrough album, gaining much of its success from the hit single "Peltirumpu".[3] It is the only Sielun Veljet album to come close to the sales figures of Ismo Alanko's previous group, Hassisen Kone, and remains one of Alanko's most popular works.[4][5] The album was named the fourth greatest Finnish rock album by Soundi magazine in 2005.[6]

"Peltirumpu" has been covered by Maija Vilkkumaa (on the 2000 re-release of Pitkä ihana leikki) and SubUrban Tribe (on Säkenöivää voimaa - tribuutti Sielun Veljille, 2002).

The name of the album is a portmanteau of the French word "l'amour" (love) and the Finnish word "murha" (murder). The band began later using the name L'amourder as their alias in English language projects.
