Song excerpts sound great. I'm getting really excited. Shades of Grey sounds awesome, it'll be a killer album opener. Tomi's vocals are sick.
Also, at about 2:57 there is a certain sound which I am more than glad to hear on the new album.
I've just now seen the artwork for the vinyl version of Circle.
I'm not sure how to make this image smaller.
Anyway, I like it. The purple tone is a bit off, but it could just be because the picture is not of best quality, and the whole tone is brown, as CD version is (and Hopeless Days too).
I like it. This time I don't mind the jaws at all.

Agreed. Besides the vinyl, I think I'll also buy the shirt with this motif (the other new ones I don't really like).
And speaking of bird stuff, judging from that new video trailer, "Nightbird's song" sounds like it could end up my favorite song from the album...
Hear you. This kind of teasers are a bit bland imo, but it is nice to try to trap some new sounds there. And those sounds really please me.
This time the jaws are set with better taste.

I really liked those song excerpts. More promising stuff! And the vinyl cover is really beautiful, too, I think I like it even better than the CD cover. Then again I have a thing also for feathers and birds...

All of the vocals in that video clip are some ear candy indeed, really happy with them
And yeah, I saw the t-shirt design the other day, it's pretty classy.

The bird cover would make great tattoo fodder. Love the brutality that Tätgren has crafted from the mix.
I went to see a friend today and he kindly played snippets from all the new songs. I couldn't see the titles and only heard bits from the songs (such were the circumstances). Though one usually needs more than on listen to appreciate an Amorphis album, here are some first impressions.
I am delighted. The opening of the album with Shades of Grey is like a kick in the teeth and reminds me of the opening of Silent Waters
It sounds like, the album is quite varied - there is another very radio friendly song, which would probably be the second radio single (if there is going to be one) and there is some pretty heavy stuff as well. I couldn't hear any Nightwish, but heard quite bit of Hypocrisy instead
There are several songs with quite tangible folk elements - one sounds quite like Irish and the other has the irregular meter typical of the Bulgarian folk music.
I was most impressed by one that started off with a piano and a flute and then erupted into pure death metal. Very, very nice!
All in all I'd say it is a varied album and is clearly a move away from the previous four. It is your typical Amorphis, but with more teeth and indeed less delays.

Can you recall hearing any more of Nightbird's Song?I was most impressed by one that started off with a piano and a flute and then erupted into pure death metal. Very, very nice!

The silent warriors, arise!

From the black soil
Arise
The nightbird's song and scream
At least one chorus seems to have a flute section right after it, though I'd be surprised if the video track was really brutal
abominable

The only album this band put out I wasn't 100% fond of, is Far from the Sun. I'm so looking forward to this album, maybe moreso than the new Hypocrisy!
Damn, do I love Shades of Gray. Even live Tomi didn't sing it THAT brutally. Xptrinity, buy Mr Varbanov a beer for me. DJ of DJs. Why don't we have that caliber on Finnish radio anymore?
Hopefully, you would have the chance to buy him the beer, and more than one, personally
But indeed he is a great jockey. Perhaps the best one we have currently here.
He's snarling, isn't he?

An interview here http://radiotangra.com/player/
There are repeats tomorrow from 10 a.m. EET and at 10 p.m. EET

If that pop-up player doesn't start (at least for me it doesn't work, might be a firewall issue), here's an alternative.
EDIT: Hopeless Days entered the single charts at #19. Not very impressive, but at least better than You I Need which never made it to the charts in the first place.
