AMORPHIS recently landed the #1 spot for Unrestrained! magazine’s Top Albums of 2007 list with their “Silent Waters” release. Editor Tate Bengtson commented, "We are thrilled to have AMORPHIS’ ‘Silent Waters’ land the top spot in the Unrestrained! Top Albums of 2007 List. While AMORPHIS’ previous album, ‘Eclipse,’ demonstrated the impact of new vocalist Tomi Joutsen upon the band, ‘Silent Waters’ showcases the full extent of AMORPHIS’ rejuvenated chemistry and creative vision."

"’Silent Waters’ enjoyed a remarkable showing among Unrestrained! staff. This is especially noteworthy in light of the diversity of our staff’s musical tastes and the sheer quantity of high calibre albums released in 2007. It was a banner year for metal and the competition was fierce, but ‘Silent Waters’ really struck a chord! Unrestrained! #36, which includes our Top Albums of 2007 List, will hit stores by December 15. It features interviews with ULVER, OBITUARY, WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM, TENHI, OM, TODAY IS THE DAY, ATAVIST, ARCH ENEMY, ICED EARTH, and many more."

AMORPHIS' new album, "Silent Waters", entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 44. Released in North America on September 18, the CD is the second AMORPHIS album to feature singer Tomi Joutsen (SINISTHRA). It was recorded at Sonic Pump studios in Helsinki, Finland. Mixing duties were handled by Mikko Karmila (NIGHTWISH, STRATOVARIUS) at Finnvox studios.
