Review Text
Amoth is a melodic heavy metal band with progressive elements from Helsinki, Finland. Their upcoming album "The Hour Of The Wolf" is a huge leap forward compared to their previous recordings Revenge (2016) "Crossing Over" (2011), "Wounded Faith (EP) (2008). Amoth's roots are strongly founded on 80's heavy metal, but branch out in different directions with elements from progressive rock, thrash, and even jazz brought to the table. The new album features Pekka Montin of Ensiferum once again as the lead vocalist and for the first time, there are also keyboards on an Amoth recording. Fans can expect insane vocals and virtuoso-like playing from all members of the band. The nine songs are very diverse, taking sudden twists and turns into unexplored territory. Amoth even offers up two Steve Vai / Joe Satriani-style instrumentals on this new full length.
