Amorphis (progressive/melodic doom/death from Finland)
A whole bunch of big names have new albums out today, which is cool. My favourite is the new Amorphis. A fun band, if anything. They discovered fun in 1994 with their landmark Tales From the Thousand Lakes and through lots of pentatonic melodies, progressive influences, cheese, saxophones and a coming and going of band members, they’re still so much fun. I’m not sure if I think Halo is as good as Queen of Time yet, but I’ve been really enjoying myself with it the past couple of weeks just as much.
