 Deadtide.com : Reviews : Albums : Amoral, "Decrowning"
Amoral, however, straddle this line on their second full-length effort, Decrowning.
Amoral play what could be called progressive melodic death thrash.
Amoral are competent in all facets of their sound, but seem to be lacking that extra something that would help them earn a year-end-list-hopeful status.

 Ethical Terms
Note that an amoral action by one person could be considered nonmoral (or even immoral) by a specific society, depending upon the moral code of the society.
For example, a sociopath, sometimes called a person without a conscience, and a very young child are called "amoral" because such people have no feeling or understanding of the concepts of right and wrong.
It should be noted that "amoral" is sometimes used in ordinary language in the same way that "nonmoral" is used.

 Metal Reviews - Metal Coven Webzine - Metal Reviews - Amoral - Decrowning
Amoral does its country proud by showing us what good heavy melodic death is about and that the genre is still thriving.
While based on the vocals Amoral is considered to be death metal, the sound is definitely a lot more complex than your average death metal band incorporating elements of progressive, thrash, and classic metal.
Decrowning is the second album in Amoral's discography and is one of those works that make me happy, for lack of a more descriptive term.

 MetalReview.com - Metal Review of Amoral - Decrowning   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Wound Creations was one hell of an album, not only was it an impressively strong debut, but it was undoubtedly one of the death metal highlights of 2004 for me. I was excited as hell for the chance to review their 2006 follow up effort Decrowning.
Amoral are one hell of an eclectic blend that apparently refuses to be pigeonholed into one particular subgenre of metal dancing around conventional genre boundaries with wicked precision and frightening ability.
Amoral display an intricate command of technicality that exhibits an equal understanding in both brutality and melody, you have to look no farther than album opener “Showdown” which rips and roars out of the speaker to illustrate this point.

 20th WCP: A Philosophical Perspective on the Regulation of Business
Given the inevitability of personal outcomes thus defined, moral approbation, other than as a tool for affecting subsequent behavior, is irrational, because it is implicitly assumed that the person's behavior is the result of a predetermined disposition, rather than a function of his or her free will and rational conscience.
Personal conduct in this model is judged amorally (i.e., without regard to the moral responsibility that attends the Anglo-American concept of the relationship between free will, human dignity, and moral responsibility), and it follows from this amoral outlook that the relevant objective of punishment under continental law is behavioral conditioning through appropriately-applied incentives and disincentives.
Corporations function in the amoral realm of business and technology, where it is more appropriate to manipulate incentives and disincentives to achieve public policy objectives, and to apply corrective, rather than simply punitive, sanctions in the event of regulatory transgression.

 Dorf on Law: Are lawyers UNIQUELY amoral?
I would add to the evidence of the public's discomfort with the seeming amorality of legal practice the fact that tv and movie dramatizations frequently show lawyers facing such moral dilemmas---and that often the "right" thing for the lawyer to do is to find some way to rat out or otherwise turn on his client.
Stimson's comments show not just that he buys into the common stereotype that lawyers are amoral by working on behalf of the guilty, but that he fails to see the point of our justice system at its most basic level.
There may be a meaningful distinction between amoral lawyers and (say) amoral marketers- if the marketer sells a profoundly immoral product (say, a Pinto) the legal system is presumed to be a backstop which will punish the marketer.

 Rulers Who Inhabit an Amoral World-- Part II: When Loyalty Isn't a Moral Virtue
History reveals that those cultural environments in which loyalty is most highly prized are those whose fragmentation –because it has plunged the participants into a hellish “war of all against all”--has made it impossible for the system to contain that wholeness (the harmony, the synergy) we call the Good.
Thus it is that those who have served the country badly but have been unwavering in supporting the party line have advanced in power while those who were proved right but failed to toe the line have been dismissed.
This fundamentally amoral view also illuminates Bush’s well-known tendency toward cronyism –appointing his buddies in favor of people with the requisite capabilities—since their loyalty to him outweighs, in his world, their capacity to serve the larger whole.

The band's style is a healthy mix of different styles of metal, the most obvious ones being death and thrash, with just enough technical parts to keep things interesting.
The rest of the band members were fired, as neither their musicianship nor seriousness was near the others'.
This is when one could say Amoral - even though the name came along much later - was born.

 Rulers Who Inhabit an Amoral World-- Part III: The Cloak of False Righteousness
The contrast is striking, of course, between the idea that these Bushite rulers inhabit an amoral universe and the fact that rarely in American history has the posture of moral rectitude been so central to the political strategy of a leadership group.
And, indeed, that sad tale ends with the slaughter of all the grown men, and the selling into slavery of every woman and child, of that island community that had dared to assert its right to be left alone.
The amoral world such rulers inhabit becomes the world we are all compelled to inhabit.

 Amoral Commandments
No morality was involved in what day of the week he was to abstain from work, just as no morality was involved in what place Hadab and Abihu obtained fire for their censers.
However, whether a man was the leader of the people of a follower, he was expected "to do what the LORD your God" commanded with no deviation: "do not turn aside to the right or to the left" (Deuteronomy 6:32, NIV).
God gave a negative amoral command to Adam: "of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat" (Genesis 2:17).

The word "amoral" was picked up in several letters to the editor.
"Amoral phenomenons produce immoral episodes of grief and loss," the letter continued.
As though editors at the Times, wary of the culture-war God-talk during and after the presidential election, had wanted to plant a phrase in our heads to prepare us for the inevitable inundation of religious explanations that are a natural consequence of such disasters.

 The Federalist (Number 104)
Where moral issues are clear, an amoral decision can only be the result of an involuntary disorder of the mind, but never a conscious choice.
Therefore the attempt to characterize an immoral decision as amoral is an attempt to employ sophistical false arguments to avoid responsibility and accountability for immoral actions.
So the concept of an ‘amoral ethical role’ like the concepts of a ‘loving genocide’ or a ‘virtuous murder’ is nonsense and without meaning.

 O'Reilly Radar > The Amorality of Web 2.0
Actually I think the amorality of the technology is a necessity if we want to embed our own morality and culture within it.
Posted by: Tim O'Reilly at October 25, 2005 07:49 AM To say that Web 2.0 is amoral implies that it had a morality to begin with.
And to call all of it’s participants amoral, in my opinion, can only be a generalization drenched in fallacy.

 Terms Can Be Confusing | Ask a Franciscan - March 2006 Issue of St. Anthony Messenger Magazine Online
It defines amoral as “not within the sphere of moral sense; not to be characterized as good or bad; nonmoral.” By this definition, choosing a polo shirt or a denim shirt could be described as an amoral decision.
Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (10th edition) defines amoral as “being neither moral nor immoral; specifically: lying outside the sphere to which moral judgments apply (science as such is completely amoral—W.S. Thompson); lacking moral sensibility (infants are amoral); being outside or beyond the moral order or a particular code of morals (amoral customs).”
If it is truly selective, then it isn’t “amorality”—unless you are talking about a true sociopath who cannot admit that his or her desires might hurt individuals and society at large.

 Internet Archive: Details: Beak - Amoral Mayor Earwig EP [mtk136]
We first hooked up with shadowy U.S. artist Beak earlier in 2003, when he made an 'absolutely checken' appearance, providing us with a few choice tracks featuring his unconventional but beautiful twinning of multi-tracked acoustic guitars and harder electronics.
But it's taken us until now to choose the absolutely perfect combination of sweet and savory songs from his extensive, largely publically unreleased output for the enchanting randomly titled 'Amoral Mayor Earwig EP'.
Well, with the loping 'How A Hot Air Balloon Works', we have silent impulse into sonic heaven, all surprisingly summery, before new track 'I Saw Two Of Me' goes a whole lot more complex, really twisting the guitars and the jittery kitten-y drums together.
