Actually I am on my third listen now and I am convinced. I love these guys. I have the album on pre-order and will now spend the next weeks wondering if Peter's influence will be obvious. I loved the old Amorphis and I love Hypocrisy so there's the possibility of something phenomenal.
This is fucking awesome both musically and lyrically. Amorphis has never disappointed me with any of their albums. I am definitely looking forward to getting this in April!
I love this band. They are so fresh and sound great and you can understand the words, so much talent and a real winner in my opinion. I also like Lefay who i only just discovered!!
Yup. I started with Black Winter Day, (heard it on a compilation), then went backward. Loved the Pasi era. Tuonela still being my favorite, but still like all of the albums.
and by the way, just because this song has no growls in it doesn´t mean the others doesn´t either! you´re truly right! how boring would it be, if every album would sound exactly like the others?
Amophis is one of those legendary bands that last for decades... Their sound has changed, that's true, but that happens with most of the bands... just look at In Flames, e.g. Amorphis went through three eras,the first with Koivusaari on the vocals, the second with Pasi Koskinen, and the third one with Tomi Joutsen. Amorphis had hard times when Pasi left and bellieve me, if it were not for Tomi, Amorphis wouldn't have existed today...
Loved their first four records (especially Tales and Elegy) and always thought Tomi Koivusaari's vocals were a big reason why. They were not typical death growls, they were atmospheric and were another instrument in the mix. Latter, Pasi made a great contrast with his dry shout vocals. Very unique... When Joutsen came in he cemented a formula that was not really ground breaking but solid and enjoyable. I like the new records, and when I want old Amorphis I still got Tales in the cue. This rocks.
Goosebumps!!! Killer as always! Amorphis never makes the same cd twice!! I love the opening Dimmu sounding riff and a catchy chorus I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS TO COME OUT!
Not a comment to what any one here has left I respect all point of view. But I will say this... old Amorphis amazing new Amorphis amazing few bands cross my path that have effected me in a musical, spiritual and all around human manner as they... so that being said "let the song go on the creator of lives let the song go on and on...." favorite lyric from the Skyforger album
I can't believe how fantastic and amazing this band is since Eclipse. It's almost as Tomi Joutsen was sent from God after those weak albums they made after Elegy. Thank you Amorphis for being the best metal band in the last decade.
You hit the nail right on the head, that's exactly how I feel. Tomi is great, and the albums with him have all been decent with some really good songs, but I miss the adventurousness that was for me the defining characteristic of the band... Obviously they seem to be doing pretty well with this direction so more power to them, I'm just less excited about checking out new albums cuz I know exactly what I'm gonna get...
Listening a bit more I could pick up on sounds here and there that are distinctly signatured by Amorphis. I stand corrected and will be buying this on Amazon the day it comes out in the US.
The Beginning of Times was alright, but judging from the sound of this, the new record will be a lot better. Hope so anyhow! This song is awesome as all hell!
GREAT SONG, AMORPHIS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joutsen's placement of lyrics on the chorus is really hard hitting. Love how everything falls into place. Masters of their craft are Amorphis.
The guitars are solid! Of course, the vocal is outstanding!
Amorphis has a unique powerful sound and it works! stories told with metal, I love it!
Greece is ready for some more shows !!!!!!!!hope to see Amorphis very soon!!
as my opinion all amorphis songs are amazing. old and new.
This band just keeps getting better.
I agree. I first listened to these guys a week ago, and I'm pretty sure I can call myself a fan.
Awesome Song Awesome Band Nuff Said
Best band in the world. I am going to listen to the album for weeks when I finally get it.
That main riff coupled with the organs/keyboards is just epic.
AAAA...Amorphis Are Always Awesome!
This is so raw its unbelieveable
love that band, great song
That was awesome. I didn't think that it was possible but the vocals have improved. Great song, looks like yet another must-buy album from Amorphis.
Amorphis' dynamic sound never ceases to amaze me.
Nothing this band releases is ever sub par in their 20 years of recording.
The sound is MASSIVE.
Dude amorphis is gonna bring us another classic
The better gift for this week end!

I also like Lefay who i only just discovered!!
sounds epic, good production.
I got cold shivers down my spine when i listen to this song.
Wow, that's heavy ! Awesome !
Tomi is the reason why Amorphis will always be fresh and amazing!
Hmmm, fascinating...Going to put it on my list to buy.
Amorphis is 100% Amorphis with growl "parts", the combo is fantastic and it must NOT stop ;)
Just as beautiful and melodic as always. Looking very forward to the new album!
awesome new song... lookin forward to the full record
Absolutely awesome.
Sounds much better than anything on the last album! Glad to hear some rumbling in my subwoofer again :)
Now, this is real ART ! Something that have heart and soul, feelings and life !
Sounds great...I can't wait the new album...!!
Yup. I started with Black Winter Day, (heard it on a compilation), then went backward.
Loved the Pasi era. Tuonela still being my favorite, but still like all of the albums.
Fascinating, epic sound!
*___* another release full of awesome vocals by Tomi and superb melodies will come to this world!
Amazing !!
and by the way, just because this song has no growls in it doesn´t mean the others doesn´t either! you´re truly right!
how boring would it be, if every album would sound exactly like the others?
Can't wait for the new album!
There is especially one thing amorphis is doing best........making music!
Awesome song! Buying the whole album!
ok...those 3 songs are GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

this band too, wonderful music with its own identity
Production sounds massive and crisp. The music sounds awesome, with great lead guitar work!
Awesome stuff again from Amorphis. This just made my weekend!
Ever since Karelian Ishtmus,
these guys never stop to surprise me.
I love them.
This is awsome! Really looking forward to this album
Fantastic.
I find his to be the voice of Vainamoinen himself, it is simply breath-taking to listen to this great singer...........
Well the last 3 or 4 albums had a lot of songs without growls. Just because he doesn't scream or growl doesn't make it bad. His voice is amazing.
I agree but still you have to admit that Amorphis is awesome with both Pasi and Tomi.
This band is so amazing ... constantly. If Nuclear Blast really delivered their pre-orders in time taking Canada into account, i would pre-order this.
Wow, amazing, if the other songs of the album are this great, it sure is one of the highlights 2013!
Loved their first four records (especially Tales and Elegy) and always thought Tomi Koivusaari's vocals were a big reason why.

Lovely, lovely song. I really like the piano lines, which is why I did a cover of it :)

Awesome. Amazing. Hail Amorphis.
Good work, guys!
Sounds promising! Hope I will see them in NYC
Majestic!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any one else who loves Tomi's singing should check out his other Sinisthra, it is absolutely amazing...........
I can't believe how fantastic and amazing this band is since Eclipse. It's almost as Tomi Joutsen was sent from God after those weak albums they made after Elegy.
Thank you Amorphis for being the best metal band in the last decade.

Killer! First day buy for me for sure.
You can definitely hear the Peter Tägtgren touch, it's nice and heavy = ) I think it's a nice contrast from the last album which was a bit more mellow
