Amorphis – Skyforger
[Nuclear blast records, 2009]
genre: melodic death, folk, gothic metal, metal
Album review by Edenbeast

This is the ninth release from the Finnish band and there has been 2 years of preparations for the ‘Skyforger’. Clearly these guys know what atmospheric metal means because they are among the creators of this genre. And in this album they show us the true meaning of this kind of metal. Skyforger is full of emotions in every part and in every note. Grief, nostalgia, romanticism, sorrow, and many other feelings which anyone can find inside himself. Vocals are clean and harsh mostly but in some parts sound like pure death vocals. In the guitars and drums there is nothing worth of mentioning, they play beautiful and easy. There is a perfect balance between death, atmospheric, folk, and gothic melodies. The keyboards still do the right job. Production is great. I really love this album because it reminds me the days I started listening to metal and that travels me years ago. Recommended to everyone, it is a great choice.
