Album Intro：
Skyforger is the ninth studio album by the heavy metal band Amorphis. It is a concept album based on a single episode from Finland's national epic, the Kalevala. The album was released on May 27, 2009 in Finland and May 29, 2009 in the rest of Europe. The North American release is scheduled to be during the summer. Guitarist Esa Holopainen states the album is their most musical record so far.
Along with their two previous albums, Eclipse and Silent Waters, Skyforger was recorded at Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki. The cover of the album bears some resemblance to that of A Static Lullaby's album Faso Latido.
Skyforger was also released as a limited digipak edition, containing 'Godlike Machine' as a bonus track. The original limited edition digipak version has problem with the sound level in the tracks 'My Sun' and 'Skyforger', but Nuclear Blast promised replacement CDs to remedy the problem. 'Silver Bride' was released as a Finland-only single on April 22, 2009 and topped the Finnish single charts. The music video for the single premiered on May 11, directed by Owe Lingvall.
