''Skyforger'' is the ninth studio album by Finnish heavy metal band Amorphis. Like the previous album, the lyrics to ''Skyforger'' are English translations of Finnish poems based on the Kalevala and written by Pekka Kainulainen. Unlike the two previous albums, it is based on different parts of several episodes, but all told from a single character's point of view. In this sense it is a return to Tales from the Thousand Lakes which told stories from different parts of the Kalevala. The last two albums focused on Kullervo and Lemminkäinen, respectively, and this one focuses on Ilmarinen. Like Amorphis's previous two albums, ''Eclipse'' and ''Silent Waters'', ''Skyforger'' is a concept album and was recorded at Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki. In addition to a regular edition, the album was also released in a limited digipak edition which included the bonus track "Godlike Machine". Initially, this digipak edition caused controversy because of sound level fluctuations during the tracks "My Sun" and "Skyforger", but Nuclear Blast has since remedied the problem by promising replacement CDs. On April 22, 2009, "Silver Bride" was released as a Finland-only single, peaking at number 1.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Finnish Singles Chart )〕 The music video for the single premiered on May 11, 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Amorphis: 'Silver Bride' Video Released )〕 ==Track listing== *All Music As Noted. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skyforger (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
