The Finnish
psychedelic metal rockers of Amorphis are one of the most unique bands on
Earth
as it comes to metal. When they started out as a death metal band years
ago no-one could have
guessed what would was about to come later on. Now they
are one of the biggest metal bands
from Finland ever and there is no other
band sounding the way they do with influences from
folk music, psychedelic
rock from the 70's and of course the good old metal roots are still
there to
make the best of it. In my opinion there is no doubt that this is the magnum
opus
of Amorphis and some of the most beautifully composed metal songs ever
can be found on this
album: "Greed", "Shining" and "Rusty Moon" are
simply amazing with their combination of
aggressive metal riffs and the
graceful and melancholic vocals. There are so many subtle
melodies hidden in
the songs from Amorphis that you find something new to enjoy every time
you
listen to the album. The really good albums are often the ones you find hard
to accept
in the beginning but then they grow on you more and more each time
it takes a spin in your
cd player. How come there are so many metal bands
who breaks new ground in the metal scene? We
have Tiamat from Sweden turning
gothic, Therion from Sweden also turning into one of the
most creative
symphonic metal bands ever and now we have Amorphis from Finland turning
into
a psychedelic rock metal band. Scandinavia
rules!
