Amorphis Guitarist Esa Discusses Their New Album “Skyforger”
Metal Underground
So it has really gone far with that. I try to stay up with what?s going on but I really can?t it?s too difficult. Metal music has grown so much. There are so many more sub-scenes going on. You?ve got death metal bands and then you?ve got whatever metal bands. In a way I think it?s good but for the new bands it must be a nightmare to try to come up and prove that you are something special. It has grown a lot that?s for sure.

Album closer The Shadows Are Alive is a good example of wens’ subgenre mixing sporting a nice crawling doom-metal riff that flows into a thrashy midsection ending with a stupid-fast solo from Trans-Siberian rchestra guitarist Chris Caffery. As solid as the album is musically and vocally it would have been nice if wens had showed a little bit more of his vocal versatility. n the Beyond Fear album he occasionally used an effectively sinister Dave Mustaine-like vocal sneer and even a death-metal growl that could have been put to good use.

It should appeal particularly to older metalheads who miss hearing dazzling 8- and 16-bar squiddly-dee guitar solos in the middle of songs and who find the tuneless gravel-gargling vocal styles of popular New Wave of American heavy metal bands such as Lamb of God to be melodically unsatisfying and musically limited. Malcolm X Abram can be reached at.
