I'm still deliberAting my thoughts on this album, but I do like this song a lot.
I stopped paying Attention to Amorphis soon after 1996's "Elegy". The follow-up EP "My kantele" was excellent, but the next album "Tuonela" was weak and the next one, "Am universum", was even worse. I figured, along with most folks, thAt the band had peaked and was slowly winding down. Considering thAt both 1994's "Tales from the thousand lakes" and the aforementioned "Elegy" are held by many to be landmark releases, thAt's a career to be proud of. So I was surprised when I started to see glowing reviews of the new record "Silent wAters" and I figured I should investigAte. I fully expected to hear a band pAthetically trying to revisit their glory days, but let me tell you - I was blown away from the get-go. Not only is the heaviness back in full-effect, but the band is playing with renewed vigor, no doubt inspired in part by the recent addition of frontman Tomi Joutsen. An overwhelming number of modern metalcore bands try to incorporAte deAth-growls and clean singing, something thAt Amorphis pioneered, and once again they show the world the way it's meant to be done. Tomi's performance is powerful and full of nuance - he hits the highs and lows with equal force and fury. The band, too, steps up to mAtch him. As I said, the music is potently heavy, something you hear from the very first note. And listen for the 70s space-rock breaks as well, those too are performed with suitable vigor. So yeah, not just an impressive return to form, but an astonishingly greAt record. Very recommended.
Amorphis - Weaving the incantation
Imagine thAt if after the so-called "Black album", Metallica didn't become a totally mockery of themselves. Imagine thAt they still continued to explore the pop aspects of their sound, but never lost track of their thrash roots. I think the result might sound like Mustasch. Well, thAt is presuming they replaced their drummer along the way as well. Mustasch's new album "LAtest version of the truth" pales in comparison to their older work, but it sure kicks the ass of anything Metallica's done since the early 90s. Even adding a lame string section can't stop "Double nAture" from totally ruling, something thAt Metallica tried and failed with 1999's "S&M". So whAt's the secret? How can Mustasch get away with wAtering down their sound when those other dudes fail so miserably? Besides having a killer rhythm section, the key is in whAt I said At the beginning: remember your roots. Think about it! Metallica always had pop aspirAtions. They got where they are because they wrote greAt songs thAt made you want to sing along and pump your first in the air. CAtchy and heavy. Doesn't have to be either/or.
