Ben Varon

He had been begging for an electric guitar for about a year, and finally got a Strat copy as a birthday present from his parents.

Varon was taught also by Finnish guitarist Roope Latvala around 2001 about scales and modes, including some of Stone licks in which he was very interested at that time.

Slash, with the pompous Use Your Illusion songs, blew Varon's mind up and was the reason for him to start to play guitar.

Some other sources of inspiration include Nuno Bettencourt, Roope Latvala, Randy Rhoads and Zakk Wylde.

The band's fourth album was an about-turn, replacing the dominance of quirky death metal with an exemplary display of riff-driven, heavy, yet melodic power groove and the occasional sing-along chorus.

Amoral performed extensively in bars, clubs, festivals and other venues in Finland, Europe, Japan, China, Philippines and the US.

The other members beside Varon are Tommy Tuovinen (MyGrain) on vocals, Jyri Helko (For the Imperium, Warmen) on bass, and Oskari Niemi on drums.

The debut single, "The Oceanhoarse", was played first time on Radio Rock on 17 January 2018 and the video was published a day later.

The other members beside Varon are Micko Hell (Denigrate, Million Dollar Beggars) on vocals, Rale Tiiainen (The Black League, The OHO, Ancara) on drums, and Jyri Helko on bass.
