In Amorphis’ 19 year history, they’ve been adept and sometimes groundbreaking in their approach to death metal in the earlier years, before changing into their present-day entity. The Amorphis of the 21st century is far more progressive, with a definite folk influence seen in their sound and the use of instruments ranging from the usual metal suspects to
flute, mellotron and piano.
This is a band that is known for their distinct sound, a mix of their earlier influences melded with Finnish folk music, clean vocals and dark yet romantic lyrics. On Skyforger, their third album with vocalist Tomi Joutsen, they perfect this sound and are clearly a band in their element. Skyforger is dark, hauntingly beautiful, and definitely Amorphis!
