Amoral is a technical death metal band from Helsinki, Finland.
The band was formed in 2000 as a result of the initial band members finally deciding it is time to quit doing covers and create something of their own. After several demos and a record deal with Rage of Achilles Amoral finally found a new home with Spikefarm Records. ”Wound Creations” was the the first fruit of their co-operation, which gathered a slew of favourable reviews (Metal Hammer 9/10), while Amoral’s live act was no less impressive. Witness the words in Terrorizer magazine reviewing the two-day Spike-festival, for instance: “Of all bands on the bill, this quintet seems to be by far the most enthusiastic, playing as there was no tomorrow. But judging by the quality of their performance and the response of the crowd, there should definitely be one.
They released the album “Reptile Ride” in 2007, and continues the deadly march.
Despite the inherent brutality of the Amoral sound, they also have an uncanny knack for throwing in the occasional mellow part with remarkably sharp eye for the flow of the song. It is such details that set the band truly ahead of the pack and Sound Supreme studios have provided their with a huge sound to match their ambitious death metal epics. Just to prove they can rock’n’roll with the best of them, Amoral also covered Mötley Crüe in the “Decrowning” sessions.

Apparently they aren't looking for a new growler, but a melodic singer instead... WTF.

Eh, his voice fit the music but he wasn't a stellar vocalist. I thought reptile ride blew ass too, so maybe a new singer might be a return to form.

PEiPHatesYou, I couldn't agree more. Especially with that beginning riff in "Showdown" to start things off.
