Kalmah is great. One of my favorites. And in my opinion, they are just as good or maybe better than Children Of Bodom. They Will Return is an awesome album ... and the song Swamphell is incredible.

Kalmah, love this band. They lay Children Of Bodom to waste. So much better. They have so much more power behind their music than Children Of Bodom.

Never listened to Kalmah, but when downloaded "The Black Waltz", things have changed Awsome band, i can't imagine how people can compare them whit Children Of Bodom.

I don't listen "The Black Waltz" yet!!!! What a sin! I own their first three albums I'm fan of Kalmah, is one of my favorite bands, "They Will Return" is their best album, for me.

I think that the Swampsong bonus track Suodeth is probably their greatest song ever, but songs like The Third, The Magical and Moon Of My Nights sure come close. I love Swampsong and The Black Waltz equally, but the other albums just don't do it for me.

I like all their stuff.

I dug the vocals in the Black Waltz- I thought it was cool how they changed it up.

Awesome band.

These guys have got to fucking play in America, it's killing me!!!!!!!!
I do beleive that Black Waltz sounds much different from their other albums, it's almost like they've simmered their sound down some, but it still kicks ass.

Great Extreme Power Metal band, I like them more than CoB, because I like the vocals of kalmah more. Also they succeed to put more energy in their music.

TBW was how i really discovered Kalmah. Swampsong is fantastic too. it did took me a while to get into They will return, but somehow eventually i got and heard all the albums and i must say they put a better album each time!!

Long overdue credit if you ask me....these guys have been kicking Bodom's ass since the day the brought out their first album but it took people like 6 years to realise their worth. And its sort of weird that it had to happen with the release of "the Black Waltz" since i dont think its really their best album.

Probably the fact that Bodom went soft and gay and Kalmah just kept on being amazing that people started to notice them and actually made the effort to check out their earlier albums.....the fact is that Kalmah totally owns and Im really happy that they finally got the credit they deserve, been busting my balls for ages on this forum trying to get people to stop calling them Bodom clones - and finally people are starting to see them in their own entity....Hail to the Swamplords!

well for me i worked into their disco backward,, for me TBW and swampsong are tied on the top, followed by TWR and finally swampsong, my least favorite though compared to other albums by other bands it is a great piece.

I have listened to The Black Waltz. And i was really suprised. It was a really great album. right now i got "Time takes Us All" in my ears and as far as i have heard it is their best song. Think im gonna give them a little more attention from now on...

i think it's kinda funny that many people think that CoB exists longer than Kalmah:
so listen: kalmah was founded before CoB

from my point of view kalmah is one of the few bands when it comes to melodic death metal, that sounds really different than most others. their style is heavier than the more common...let's say CoB-style and therefore it's a band many here like to listen althought they don't like bands as norther, impernanon,...
i haven't heard there latest release, but i look forward to it. so let's hope that i will have it soon.

They're awesome. And catchy!

They're compared to COB too much. This is something that people need to break away from, IMO. Their latest album is certainly much better than COB's last. The Black Waltz is great. I love the improved vocals and it's quite fast in some places. I'd say it's one of the best releases of 2006 so far.

They made another video, for the song "Withering Away" as well. It was a project they did in college.
