Great friggin' album.

Darkside Momo - 05.08.2012 at 18:22

Indeed

Troy Killjoy - 06.08.2012 at 05:20

Absolutely; quite possibly the best Amorphis release for me, although I've always been more inclined to think that of Tales...

It's definitely an interesting side to Amorphis that I'm not used to hearing from them quite as often. I do enjoy my standard death metal every once in a while, however I prefer their later melodic work way more. That's just me though.
