When Amorphis’ opening song on Silent Waters began with a roar and continued by displaying the best of the band’s prog and metal sides, it set the tone for an album that ended up being near flawless. So, when Skyforger started with a simple piano melody before segueing into laid-back prog, it caused a little concern. The band had tried their hand at minimalist prog before on Far From the Sun, failing miserably, and it seemed that the band were poised to repeat those mistakes. Fortunately, a complete run-through of Skyforger alleviated concerns of another Far From the Sun fiasco, but initial listens can be deceiving. Preliminary listens confirmed that the band was trying their hand at a more prog-oriented album, but it also appeared that they had pulled it off. It seemed that they had learned from their past mistakes and had retained the strong melodies, death growls and stylish keyboard accompaniment of the past but had integrated those elements into prog rock structures that pushed the clean vocals and choruses to the forefront. This blend of strong guitar melodies and catchy choruses resulted in an album that’s instantly appealing and enjoyable. Due to this outcome, it didn’t seem to matter that the death growls had been relegated mostly to a support role or that heavier sections were few. Unfortunately, the immediate nature of the songs and the focus on moderately paced prog also results in a quick decline in replay value that will ultimately be the album’s undoing....full text |

Sound: Amorphis have got to be pleased with where they are at the moment. Their new album “Skyforger” rides on the momentum they've built up with their last two excellent releases, “Eclipse” and “Silent Waters”. Nuclear Blast are certainly hoping this will be a huge album for them, considering the strict policies they set regarding who gets to hear the promotional copies, and yours truly must say that the wait to hear “Skyforger” was at times pretty darn painful. If you are familiar with Amorphis' recent output, then the sound of “Skyforger” won't come as much of a surprise. It's melodic, melancholic, mostly heavy and song-oriented metal. The folk element is on display for all to see, but not in the, say, Finntroll-way. We're treated to subtle melodies and folkier outings on piano and acoustic guitar, but never is it it overdone. It adds a certain shimmer to the whole product, rather than tarnish it with overexposure....full text |

Amorphis aniverseaza anul viitor (2010) 20 de ani de cariera. In cele aproape 2 decenii trupa finlandeza a lansat 8 albume, toate inspirate din epopeea traditionala finlandeza, Kalevala. In 2006 prima schimbare majora (si unica pana in prezent) il aduce pe Tomi Joutsen in locul lui Pasi Koskinen. Cu Tomi vocalist, Amorphis lanseaza in acelasi an Eclipse, un album care a deschis un nou capitol in discografia trupei. Un an mai tarziu apare Silent Waters, care continua linia Eclipse, aducand insa mai multe elemente acustice si un sound mult mai atmosferic. In 2009 trupa finlandeza revine cu Skyforger, un album care incheie trilogia Eclipse – Silent Waters-Skyforger. Skyforger aduna 10 piese (+ un bonus track) si merge mai departe in povestea Kalevalei, acest Gilgamesh al finlandezilor. De aceasta data Amorphis ne vorbeste despre fierarul Ilmarinen, fauritorul cerului....full text |
