Why isnt this album on the top 20 of 2006?:nogood:

The Groan Of Wind and One From The Stands

This album took a long while to grow on me, but it kept sneaking random tracks into my Spotify sessions. I would hear a track and go "what awesomeness is this?", and when I looked at the name, it was more often than not from this very album. Complex enough to stick, epic and melodig enough to impress, Kalmah have created a fine album indeed here.

Kalmah melodic death metal is one of the most unique groups. I had not seen in the style of melodic death metal stronger than this ....

I love this album. "Nice collection ....

There is no doubt the most powerful melodic death metal

(4) Listen to the music you believe in the power band ...

I thank God that I have made Kalmah group .............. .

I just raised the rating from an 8 to a 9. This is one of the melodic death metal albums that I'm still not tired of, what a brutal, yet epic and majestetic album!

Best Kalmah effort in my opinion.

Bitter Metallic Side is pure awesomeness, but aside from that I find it very bland and boring. The vocals are horrible as well. As always with Kalmah.

Yeah, I guess they are all pretty similar. But, things fit together and aren't tedious on that one. Especially, the chorus is pretty rad.

Good album. But not so good as three first. There isn't so much thrash and maybe black influences.....and low vocals are boring sometimes. But songwriting is good as always.

Those melodies..<3

I'm very disappointed about this album There is a big change in the vocals in contrast to the previous albums which now sounds much deeper and muffled. Also the songs are much slower.

In the beginning of the production of "The Black Waltz" kalmah published demo tracks for "Bitter Metallic Side" and "The Groan of the Wind" which sounds much more like the tracks from "Swampsong". Especially The Groan of the wind was a killer song like "hereos to us".

It seems 1.5 year before the release they rerecored the songs in another sound settings to the end result. I have to say my good, first impression were totally ruined

Kalmah - The Black Waltz

Something has been list here no more swomp stories, its sad, a bit different even same album , band tried change an even artwork is diferent

Too much cookie monster vocals, first 3 albums are way better than last 5 mainly because of the vocals.

Pretty good melodeath.
