Can't wait!

FINALLY!

I would translate the album title as "The Burning".

What, No "swamp" related song title, I worried lol...just kidding ! Can't Wait !!!

It's about goddamn time!!!!!!!!

And Kalmah does some Kalmah, exactly what I was waiting for

Pretty good, Roughly the same quality as Seventh Swamphony, but dense. Album lack standouts compared to 12 Gauge and The Black Waltz (let alone the immortal first 3}. However it is very consistent throughout

It's always a pleasure to hear these guys, I think it lacks of great highlights but its a fantastic album.

It's a Kalmah album to be sure, and that's honestly all I wanted

For now, I think it's okay, I'll give it some time to see if it grows entirely on me

I would rate Seventh Swamphony a smidge higher, but this album has it all. It rivals their earlier works in terms of quality. It may lack certain hooks that the band is known for, but makes up for it with excellent instrumentation.

This shit is too awesome!! melodic, power, extreme as Kalmah works! It will become one of best albums of year for sure
Swamplords do it again!!

Stunning keys on "Take Me Away". Brillant album (as always) overall!

Awesome album with great riffs and passages, reminds me a lot of Children of Bodom's album 'Something Wild'.

Decent album back to the swamps, even not so good as Heroes To Us or They Will Return, but maybe its hard to find some hit song what touch yoyr heart and you wanna be a song, but musically its decent back to the roots albums,. old farts still can deliver!

Sounds like a rehash of the old material with crappy production.

This seems to grow on me, especially digging the first half

True, but more like rehash of The Black Waltz and For The revolution. Old Kalmah is almost nonexistent aside from 1 track.

Great! Love it!

As far as memorability goes, it's no Black Waltz; that's for sure. However, if you're looking for new Kalmah material; you won't be disappointed here - granted there's something you find to appreciate in any of their albums. Kalmah has been my favorite melodic death metal band for years so I'm definitely biased, but I had high expectations for this album and was slightly let down. I was a big fan of their last album (Seventh Swamphony), and it seems that with this album they didn't aim to set the bar higher; they just took a different approach that incorporated their original (Swamplord/They Will Return-era) sound and infused it with their current influences. Solid nonetheless, and worth checking out if you're a Kalmah fan or MDM fan in general.

This is a pretty average Kalmah album, but average Kalmah albums are better than a lot of what's out there. There's still plenty of passion, talent, and solid writing on display in Palo and I can't say that anything about it is necessarily bad. The production could have been a little better, some sections of songs could have been a little better too, they didn't really go in any new direction, but overall Kalmah made another good one. I think this one is more consistently good than Seventh Swamphony. It isn't their most memorable work, but every song is worth a listen and I'll definitely be enjoying it for a while.

Standout tracks: Take Me Away, Through The Shallow Waters, Erase And Diverge, The Stalker, The Evil Kin

It's enjoyable, but the songs start to all sound the same towards the end of the album.

I totally love this thing. From start to end. Best outdoors.

I love Kalmah, and I continue to listen to their music, and all of the music until now has been amazing in my eyes, with many memorable tracks. This album though, it all sounds the same to me. Nothing memorable. It's not bad, it's just meh.

Not what I expected about kalmah, but it's kalmah so I have to like it.

The albums sounds great, typical kalmah style
altought the production could be better as it sounds a bit "muddied" compared to older albums

Konsistent Kalmah. Superb melodeath by the swamplords. Take me away is such a good song.
