Amorphis – Silent Waters
Nuclear Blast Records

This is the second release with singer Tomi Joutsen. First impressions are I liked Eclipse better than this one – but that’s not to say Silent Waters is a bad album. Quite the contrary it’s very good. Amorphis, with Joutsen, have meshed their earlier Death Metal and their later Progressive styles quite nicely. Joutsen does a great job with the guttural death style vocals with flawless switching to clean when the songs call for it. This is what, 10 releases for the band with Skyforger coming in May. I say the band is as strong as ever. I personally feel Eclipse and Silent Waters have the feel of the older Amorphis releases but, whether you tend to lean to their older material or towards their newer, Silent Waters will work for you. It’s a solid album, great music, fantastic vocals. Once again to me, Amorphis doesn’t disappoint.
