 What do you play it on?

Another awesome album by Amorphis in similar vein to their two previous albums.They seem to get the growling/clean vocal balance recipe just right.I noticed that track 6:My Sun bears an uncanny resemblance to a track from one of Dark Tranquillity's albums.No sweat with that though because they're another great band too.
Something I noticed which other metal fans probably know already.This album sounded quite good on a portable device [minidisc player/stereo mode]but I played it on an old Pioneer stereo system with an old Sony full size cd player and a pair of new Athena bookshelf speakers.Boy,what a transformation in sound quality!I'm now thinking that perhaps the decline in the following of metal is caused by the portable audio phenomenon where you can no longer get to appreciate the richness of sound that you only seem to get with a home stereo system when listening to metal in particular.Forgive the digression from the album review. |

The best album I've heard in the last 10 years.

| I have been a long time fan of Amorphis since the early Death Metal days. I knew there was something very different about the band when I first heard Tales From The Thousand Lakes. I have watched Amorphis slowly grow artistically and prove that there is more to Heavy Metal than shock value and screaming. I was very excited when I heard that Amorphis was goig to release Skyforger as I have been more and more impressed with every album since the early '90s. I'm very pleased to say this is by far the best album I've heard in the last decade at least, maybe longer. I put the CD in my player and listened from beginning to end without skipping a single track. If I had to pick two favorites they would be Highest Star (I never thought a flute would fit with metal so perfectly) and Course Of Fate (It just rocks there's no other way to explain it). If you've never heard Amorphis before this is an AMAZING example of what Progressive Death & Folk Metal should be. Beautiful melody, raw power, real feeling, and pure love of music. |

Amorphis - Skyforger
Submitted on: 2009-07-30 |

| We're a little over the halfway point of 2009 and I'm going to guess that Skyforger will finish in my top 5, if not my top 3, of this year's best. I've listened to this album countless times over the past few months to digest it. With that said, I haven't grown tired of it at all! The melodies, along with the music, simply keeps my attention. Amorphis is a band that I feel like has "cross over" potential, unlike few bands within metal at the moment. To say, they're hard to pigeon hole, is an understatement! If you like metal that's moody, atmospheric, yet melodic, then buy this disc. There's not any one element that is overly used or over the top. With that said, Amorphis seems to be hitting on all cylinders and have found a perfect balance with their latest release. |
