It does a disservice to Finnish band Amorphis to label them death metal. There was a period early in their development that they sounded like they had been dragged from medieval times. They’ve also utilized metal grunt vocals over the years, and a song like “Bones” on this, their 15th studio album, allows the band’s brutal side to shine. But the opening “The Circle” is just as impressive, an epic prog-metal anthem with power-metal riffs, and the cleanest production.
