Amorphis - On The Dark Waters [Reaction/Review]

[@yamadojo81]

This song is just bananas. Those riffs give me tons of boost, really infectious. Then Tomi's voice...c'mon guys he's one of the best metal voices in the business, no doubt about. Album just pre-ordered, looking forward to listen the entire tracklist.

[@waleedawan5454]

Now we are talking! Was kinda worried after the first single but this is pure awesome Amorphis. Getting some Under the red clouds and Queen of Time vibes on this one

[@vasilissyrros4776]

A great song from one of the best metal bands in the world! 💙Amorphis 💙🇬🇷

[@Eluarelon]

I really don't get why everyone is kinda critical of "The Moon", that song is so beautiful and in my opinion, worthy of standing side by side with House of Sleep as a future showstopper for Amorphis concerts. This aside, On the Dark Waters has grown on me very fast as well, so I'm not complaining and I'm still very firm in my conviction that Halo will be the album everyone else will have to measure up in 2022, when it comes to what's the best album of that year.

[@GlobalTossPot]

I don’t get it either especially because they stated this album was going to be more relaxed in a way. I still personally think it’s good ole Amorphis

[@joshuacoe8235]

Amorphis, such a glorious band!

[@Janispetke92]

Finally! Been waiting this reaction for days😄🤘🏼

[@idealmma]

Tomi's transitions from harsh vocals and back again continue to astound me. They're smoother than any one else I've ever heard. As always guys thanks for an interesting and in depth review. Halo is almost here!! 🎸🎙🎵🎵

[@SindreMyskja]

Amazing song! And the vocals are one of the best in the genre🤟

[@Rick2k2k]

I can tell this album has a flow, because The Moon sounds great after On The Dark Waters. Can't wait to hear Northward and the rest of the album next week!

[@Pappa_66]

Thank you guys! Great as always! You and the song/band!

[@Only_for_the_weak]

Really looking forward to the album now, this song is incredible really pulls you in and makes you drift away.

[@dmphax]

Held out listening to this so I could see your reaction and get excited at the same time as Antonio. Fantastic song!! Got the vinyl set ordered, figure it will get to Canada by June lol.

[@PaulGibbons13]

Great track thank you for playing it 😗

[@muratbenson5586]

I love those 2 guys ! And I love Amorphis 🎁

[@APREACTS]

Feeling is mutual

[@tantalizemusic]

Amorphis is back with another masterpiece.

[@helky8]

Different was first word that came to me when I heard this first time. And I love it! Can't wait the album 🔥

[@Arzie81]

Well, they had "Progfart" working title on one of the tracks, so that gave a hint there might be more of that coming up on this album. Love those eSitar riffs on this one, gives great kebab vibes.

[@KONSACZ]

Kebab metal is my favorite, Myrath is great example of this divine genre.

[@lujalainen1]

this band cannot make bad song. this song is fucking awesome again. thanx to great reaction and have wonderful day there.

[@roaddogg800]

This song was definitely intriguing and really makes me want to hear the rest of the album. Has some elements similar to Death Of. A King.

[@aveide]

Thanks for the review. I get that this albums is going to be a journey that I very much want to be a part of. Looking forward to the interview.

[@APREACTS]

Interview is up today.

[@josemartinvirallinen]

Diablo just released new song called "The Stranger", you should check that out! Reminds me a lot of this video. Great review btw! 🤘🏻

[@kristianbradfield1390]

It's great, I'm looking forward to the album 🔥🤘🙌✨

[@pascalfleury5089]

Next time, you speak to Tomi, could you suggest him, that Amorphis makes an album with all of their bonus tracks (also with the ones in the japanese special Edition). Will be great I think! Thx in advance;-)

[@dmphax]

Some of their bonus tracks are my favourite songs! :)

[@bigpiper2103]

@@dmphax Same here. I always get the Japanese versions if I can, but even they do not have ALL the bonus tracks (e.g.Circle). :(

[@stelanick9073]

It's a masterpiece. Guys finger crossed I would be able to see them in Bulgaria in the summer. Sending lots of love

[@pizzapanda8159]

I personally like the moon better. But still this song is a close one, so good. Both songs just get better every time you listen to it again. Shows so much talent. Still get goosebumps from both songs every single time

[@tur0v]

Same here, I like the 🌙 more , perhaps because for an old fan of the band thay song is a but different, and new. Looking forward to the album!

[@Tianda1111]

Amazing Amorphis 🔥

[@moviemovie8941]

Да..Как всегда очень круто. Слушаю их больше 20 лет .супер группа !!!!!!!!ждём альбом

[@Tommytalks...]

Just saw them live a few days ago. Heard this live. Great band, great live performance, get the hell out there and see them live, they deserve the support and should be playing much bigger venues. PS. The moon is definitely a kick ass track and should be a single.

[@ilves6664]

Great.As always. I order new Amorphis album on vinyl on my near Record store X.

[@pulkmi]

Thanks for the channel! On this album it's nice to hear Oppu on the production (more than the Queen Of Time's one song) Love the album. It grows on you like a good one should. Like all the bands the boys have been a part of along side of Amorphis, one s should check out Barren Earth. Waiting for the time when I can tour with the band on the new album with my wife. (when they are playing resonably near, got 5 kids and two dogs) A fan from the beginning of times. Espan Hevikioskilta.

[@APREACTS]

Thank you for watching our videos.

[@rollingmetal949]

It's Amorphis it's good

[@rele6028]

My favorite song ever! 💥🤘

[@muzmaze1391]

The lyrical content alone is beyond epic!

[@MB54321]

Yet another clip proving,that even with minimal effort you can make nice video. BTW, why nobody decided to make open air music festival in winter?

[@APREACTS]

I like the idea. WinterFest Open Air

[@AsphyxiatedShock]

That was great. I'm not going to request that same song I keep requesting this time out of respect to this one.

[@druid187]

Anticipating this album for sure....Tomi's Vocals sound in top form and never better here! I'm thinking this guy must drink a lot of the finest of superb exquisite exotic exported tea's and definitely does not smoke or drink to keep that vocal box golden. yeah i wasn't thrown off by the sitar sound in this song, some of their earlier stuff had elements of middle eastern and asian sounds (beginning of "better unborn" comes to mind)

[@Janispetke92]

Best song on the album in my opinion🤘🏼

[@rollingmetal949]

They said they were going proggier and they delivered. Not on level that would scare the folk or death metal fans

[@bigpiper2103]

How? The only proggy part is the sitar solo, which is FANTASTIC, but it doesn't even really connect to the rest of the song too well IMHO... Apart from the solo everything is 4/4, very predictable and very standard in terms of song structure. No surprises here at all. It's still a great catchy track, don't get me wrong - but apart from the solo part, I cannot honestly see anything progressive about it...

[@ChrisPage68]

Absolutely adore this! If Halo isn't as good as Queen Of Time, I'll be very surprised. And the Middle East vibe was used to great effect on Death Of A King.

[@Drpavel564]

This was a much better song than the previous single. Love that murky forestry atmosphere.

[@panxe1]

i have LP version of this album and i love to hear The album first time on LP form so i hear all The songs and in order. When its on LP form its hard to skip or jump tracks 😂

[@RockNRoli]

Such a masterpiece

[@sanderambroos5210]

You guys should check out Kludde - "Kasteelke van Verdoemenis" OR "Poesjkapelle"! They are a VERY small band from Belgium! :D

[@ronathonclifford8487]

1 ov my fave bands annnd u guys still rock lol

[@jimmyforsell6721]

Nice song and nice review. 😎🤘

[@Retset]

The Moon was a good, solid and very Amorphis single. Nothing wrong with it but nothing really grabs me hard. However, this one had me from the first listen - it's a really good track IMHO and I can't wait to check out Halo.

[@brutaldeacon559]

Not bad! Wasn’t keen on the clean vocals but overall the growls and instrumental was awesome 🤘🏻

[@dansourile5444]

Love this song! Definitely better than The Moon. Why do people keep calling this stuff proggy? It's very standard structure plus a sitar... Not thinking that qualifies as prog (which is fine!). This album as a whole is far more straightforward than Queen of Time, in my estimation. It still is incredible and stands up to the last two albums very well!! These guys can't write a bad song! Near the climax, it reminded me of The Bee's climax, where the music is very layered.

[@bearlabrador2018]

After listening to Halo for a few months now I can honestly say that to me it’s better than Queen of Time, and that’s saying something. Incredible vocals and melodies, no other band is capable of writing material this astonishing. I was listening to this non stop through the early stages of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and it’ll forever make me think of what the Ukrainians have gone through and are still going through, so much emotion in this album.

[@mode3247]

Fan depuis 1997 ! 😱😅🇫🇷❤️

[@lakabaka]

You have such great patrons. Amazing suggestions all the time

[@petradirect418]

Soooo good❣️🤘🏻

[@gredulous2444]

I didn't actually hate their last song, but this one is more like it🔥🔥!!

[@juhavaris2144]

This song 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯

[@bigpiper2103]

If you ask your son a question, let him finish and don't put words in his mouth. I like how he's transformed from a shy kid into a young man with his own opinions and interesting insights. I agree about the growls giving the sitar-driven bridge a nice groove. IMO the track is ok, but the only proggy part really is the sitar solo in the bridge, which goes against all the press releases I have heard. I actually found the Moon more interesting structure-wise. This is still great, it's Amorphis, but I was expecting much less predictable songwriting...

[@spencergrady5501]

Love that cat with eye lasers t-shirt - what is the band?

[@APREACTS]

Nahaya

[@muzmaze1391]

Ask, then let him give his take, my lord!!!

[@APREACTS]

Tell me about it. Bald man sucks.

[@ronathonclifford8487]

queen of time thier best i think

[@VakosVirus]

I think i heard some system of a down in there!!! :D

[@markokekkonen3963]

Not bad. Black winter day is better 🤔😊

[@djgibbs7041]

As a HUGE Amorphis fan, especially the last decade, this album lost me. They're not innovating anymore and they're putting out way too many "filler tracks". They created a formula back on Skyforger, it worked for a few albums, and it's starting to get noticeable and old.

[@kvas73]

WEB-Dark web

[@lunatik_soul]

Good that it’s different from qot! I’m a longtime fan and qot is my least fav album. Thanks guys for the video.

[@NiklasMX]

I am missing the balanced heaviness that Amorphis had in all their phases...this sounds like a dark rock band with harsh vocals...both songs a disappointment for me so far :-(

[@TomJerry-fl2eq]

Nothing special unfortunately . This band used to be something special . Now is one of many. Just boring.

[@Raakarapu]

Agreed! Not for me. If their old stuff is black coffee then comparatively this is 80% milk. Mut toisaalt en muista millo viimeks tykkäsin koko albumista niiltä:/
