@nataku1224 One, they're getting older. They've been at this for more than a few years now, musicians evolve as they age. Two, they deliberately moved away from this style after the departure of their original guitarist, Jani. Three, they're talking about getting a bit back to their old style.
It probably won't be identical, they've become determined not to be pinned down solely as power metal, but it should be less of an intentional departure like the recent, prog rock-sounding albums.
@nataku1224 And, honestly, they still do. Flag in the Ground and The Dead Skin, two songs from their latest album, have this same level of intensity to them. The band just no longer rides obvious guitar riffs and generic power vocals. And while the guitar focus has gone from blistering solos to low end shredding, the keyboard's definitely picking up the slack. I think their next album will recapture a lot of old fans put off by their newer stuff.
