"Halo" continues Amorphis's longtime collaboration with lyricist and folklorist Pekka Kainulainen, and concludes a trilogy begun on 2015's "Under the Red Cloud." "Halo" kicks off with a predictably crushing opener, "Northwards," whose droning keys, folk melodies, organ solos, and caffeine-fueled performances by drummer Jan Rechberger and founding guitarists Tomi Koivusaari and Esa Holopainen leave no doubt that this can only be an Amorphis record. Throw in some choirs for good measure, and you've expanded an already-perfect sound just enough to keep things interesting, but not quite enough to alienate the purist.

What follows is exactly what you'd expect from Amorphis at this stage in their career - folk-inspired progressive death metal with no shortage of hat-tips to the acid rock and prog elders of yore, hooks out the wazoo, moments that teeter on the edge of symphonic, and even the occasional blistering guitar solo. It's a sonic identity decades in the making, refined over fourteen mostly incredible albums, and requiring only the subtlest of tweaks. Cuts like "The Moon" in particular rank among the finest in Amorphis's lengthy discography.
