Band Amorphis Title Far From The Sun Type LP/EP Company Nuclear Blast YOR 2004 Style Doom/Stoner Popular Reviews Something very different from their usual or expected fare ![]() While I was impressed with a number of tracks on the record I would have to say that my very favorite track is "Day Of Your Beliefs". As the opener it starts off subtly and then kicks into a solid groove and moody drive as it progresses. There are lots of Deep Purple styled keyboards and a great guitar riff. It was a fine choice for the first track. "Far From The Sun" is present in two versions, one being acoustic and the other electric. The title track gets continued spin in my changer in both of its incarnations. The more rocking numbers would be "Planetary Misfortune" and "Darkrooms" and “Ethereal Solitude" is the best of the couple of slow numbers that appear on the disk. You will find this an equally enjoyable listen when you take the time to do so. However, there will probably be older fans of the group who are depressed about this musical change and also the fact about lead singer Pasi Koskinen leaving the group. His replacement is Tomi Joutsen and as someone who already saw him perform I think they will be pleasantly surprised. Don’t pass on this CD if you are a fan of the group, or if you enjoy an almost “Trip Rock” sort of sound. ALL REVIEWS FOR: AMORPHIS
