Run With The Torch

“‘Skyforger’ is as epic, absorbing, and solemn as the tales that it is based on. Amorphis have reached new heights, for them the sky is ‘not’ the limit, it’s just the beginning of a new journey.” Terrorizer Magazine

After the great comeback success with the new singer Tomi Justen and magnificent album ‘Eclipse’ in 2006, Amorphis once more dig deep in the Finnish national epic Kalevala, creating another dark and beautiful masterpiece: ‘Skyforger’ (1st June).

Shinnin with exquisite vocals, melancholy and gorgeous folk rock melodies, ‘Skyforger’ pleases with songs like the wonderful and touching single ‘Silver Bride’

Nik says…

With ‘Silver Bride’ I’m just not feeling it. The song is quite laid back, and for a relaxing moment is quite apt, it’s not by any means a bad track, but having listened to it several times now, I just can’t get into it. The production quality is great and the track is well written and doesn’t get boring or tedious. ★★✩✩✩

Tina says…

I found ‘Silver Bride’ easy to listen to. The laid back nature of this track makes it easily accessible as what seems to be a pretty standard piece of ‘folk rock’. It’s certainly not a bad track, but at the same time it lacks that certain je ne sais qua needed to grab your full attention. But still, I’m confident this offering will be received with open arms by the more loyal followers of the ‘folk metal’ genre.
