Amorphia – Arms of Death (Album Review)

Amorphia - Arms of Death

I’m surprised the Taj Mahal is still standing after these guys have been playing. Earth-shattering beats designed to clear your mind of anything else but their music come at you like a tank built for maximum damage.

Their album cover and artwork are highly suggestive that war plays a focus in their inspiration and possibly more along the lines of leadership and social impact that power has on the people.

The intro is in strong juxtaposition to the rest of the album with it sounding like a forgotten soul walking through the desert left to nothing but the sun and dismay while the album attacks various topics with vigour and venom. The vocals are the main conduit of expressing the band’s angst as it drips with a distaste for all that the bands dislike and rallies against.

You can hear the scorn in the voice and feel the emotion reeling through the air. While the vocals tend to be ruthless they do tend to follow a similar trend and melody.

In true thrash metal style, the drums are smashed hard and fast throughout the songs with ‘Camp 22’ rising above the rest and ‘The Lieber Code’ following on from this. The music is certainly felt to the core through this beat. The overall impression of the guitars is that rhythm sections are played fast and aggressive to match the tempo of the vocals. When listening to ‘Necromancers’  for the first time I found it super-rhythmic after a couple of minutes and really got the head bouncing around in all directions.

Solos squeal amongst all the organised chaos. Their appearance can at times appear when you least expect it which can be a bit disconcerting but the dissonance does work at times. I guess with the band seemingly focused on war and its consequences the act of solos does well to convey sudden mayhem in an already hostile situation that is what is likely to be.

I’d get into song 10 ‘Master of Death’ as this encompasses a lot of what a great band they have the potential to become as the show they play with guitar tones, timings, and solos. And of course, an excerpt from Full Metal Jacket helps too.
