Biography
Progressive, technical and melodic death-thrasing metal. Got that?
Good. That is one way to summarise Amoral, the Helsinkian band
celebrating its 10th anniversary, and also their third album
"Reptile Ride". But, you know, better not try to sum them up in
neat little package in any of the myriad sub-genres of Metal.

Ten years. How did that happen? As per tradition Amoral started as
band playing covers, and their ilk was thrash metal. Staying
within these confines they most definitely would have not survived
for a decade. Thus it happened that the ambitions of the founders
Ben varon, Silver Ots and Juhana Karlsson demanded them to move
on. And thus, the real Amoral we've come to know was born.

At the time of their second demo "Other Flesh" in 2002, the band
started to get noticed in the blatantly overblown metal scene of
Helsinki/the whole of Finland. Their unquestionable musical skills
proven, their liveshows were already then the hot topic of many a
peer group. Their unbridled enthusiasm combined with absolute
professionalism caught also the attention of the sadly demised
label Rage of Achilles. Later picking at the remains of RoA
Spikefarm opted to release anew Amoral's debuting effort "Wound
Creations". After rave reviews the band took their musical
maginficence abroad. Europe was ready to be taken. More fame and
success followed their second album "Decrowning" and ensuing
tours.

At first Amoral seemed the follow a very distinct path, but now
that has expanded to a proper highway, to say the least. Courage
and trust in their skills is mandatory when a band starts
experimenting with their music; when one thinks outside the box,
steps out of the genre-specifics. The end result does not sound
scattered but varied, and Amoral sounds more and more like
themselves.

Envigouring this death-scented barrage is a secret ingredient
extracted from the unadulterated essence of rock'n'roll. This
mixture makes for an interesting and refreshing brew. And as we
heat things up, up to a point of cataclysmic embreachment, we can
also mellow it out by some smoothly flowing melody-driven
passages. Thus the overall result is softened a notch, which one
using fancy words might call dynamic.

Never fear. Your favourite band has not wimped out. It's still
technical, and heavy as hell. It's still raunchy, saucy and
feisty. And there are manly man-vocals roaring in the upheaval of
this deathly musical turbulence. To put it bluntly: it has
matured. This is not inherently abad thing. You'll see.I mean,
hear.

Go now, the reptile awaits.
