26.08.2007 - More reviews / tour posters

And the good reviews they kept a rollin'... Noise.fi gave Reptile Ride a smooth 5/5, declaring it as "one of the best metal albums of the year". Uutislehti 100 (a free Finnish newspaper, circulation 334 000) gave the album 4/5, with quotes like "the band is is tight shape and in a mood to kill... astonishing guitar playing". Some more new ones:

pavillon666.fr (French): 8,5/10
desibeli.net (Finnish): 4/5
passzio.hu (Hungarian): 9/10

22.08.2007 - Reptile Ride enters Finnish charts at no. 5

Darn people! We were hoping for a spot in the top 40, but this... this is unbelievable! How the hell did we make it into the friggin' top 5?? Thanks so much for everyone who rushed out to buy the album, you really made our day! Let's hope this inspires a few more to go and get the CD, and that the record stores who didn't have the balls to stock it right away will do so now. You can see the official Finnish album chart here.

The response to RR has been really good, it seems like you guys really like it! Keep the comments coming, either to our guestbook or the forum.

Anyway, last friday we played at Jalometalli, which was big fun. Good audience, nice weather and a jacuzzi backstage... what more can you ask for? Thanks to the crazy moshpitters in the front, and everyone else who showed their support! You'll find some pics from the festival here, here and here.

Metalreview: 5,5/6 ("One of the year's most satisfying albums...")
Stalker: 8/10
Planetheavymetal (German): good!
Evilrockshard (German): very good!
Idioglossia (German): 12/15

06.08.2007 - E-card available

30.07.2007 - Exit Erkki

The rumors are all over the net, so we might as well release this official statement ahead of schedule... Yes, Erkki is leaving the band. No big drama behind the scenes: he is simply involved in too many projects to keep up with our hectic pace. And especially now, with a new album coming out and tons of gigs and promotion to do, we need every member's undivided attention on Amoral.

Not one gig will be cancelled because of this: we have a few qualified bass players in line to help us out if needed, and already some very potential candidates for a permanent band member. Though we are gonna take our sweet time before making anyone an official member of the band, that's for sure. You don't just walk right in the Amoral famiglia, you have to earn it...

Erkki will play his last gig with us at Jalometalli, Oulu on August 17th. We wish him all the best with his future projects.

-Ben, Silver, Niko & Juffi
