WHY this band doesn't have more attention I still can't understand...and this new album is one more reason I consider them one of metal's most underrated bands. The Black Waltz is old Kalmah with a heavier death metal influence than before...the same great guitar work and matching synths, but now with a death-growl, blastbeats, heavier double bass, and even more intensity (read: epic, heavy as hell)

fucking awesome

if you're a Kalmah fan, you'll love this album. There's no mistaking that it's still the Kalmah we've always loved, but now with even more diversity. If you haven't heard them before, this would be a good album to start with. Think Children of Bodom + Dark Tranquility + Dimmu Borgir + Bloodbath + Hypocrisy

That coveres a pretty wide range of metal...

haha, true...but the hit a little of each

I'd consider them mainly CoB + DT, then a little of the Gothenburg side of Hypocrisy, then a little of the orchestral side of Dimmu and some of the heaviness of Bloodbath

have you ever heard of insomnium? coma is really good, too, but they're romanian so not really known over here. not really the same genre, but what about 36 crazyfists?

its because they consistently get passed off as a COB clone.
that and no one understands their obssession with swamps.

sounds like a i need to get a copy of the black waltz. i am a big fan of their previous albums.

yeah the swamp thing is kinda weird, but at least it's different. i can see where people would pass them off as a CoB clone, there are a looot of similarities, but there's also enough different about them that they are definitely a unique band...especially after this album, maybe it's the break they need

the cover for the new album is bad ass
