Oulu, Finland (1998 – present)
In the fall of 2000, the band recorded its debut album for the label at Tico-Tico studios, a favourite of fellow countrymen Sentenced and Impaled Nazarene. The result “Swamplord” is an aggressive, twin guitar solo-based album whose atmosphere is often heightened by ethereal keyboards. Century Media Records picked up “Swamplord” for North American distribution, and the record was released in 2001. Afterwards, Kalmah released “They Will Return” (2002), “Swampsong” (2003) and “The Black Waltz” (2006).
“The Black Waltz” is noticeably different when compared to the band’s previous albums. The vocals are much deeper (more growling) and the music seems more influenced by the Gothenburg style.
Kalmah released their fifth album in April 2nd, 2008 under the title “For the Revolution”. The newest, and sixth album, titled “12 Gauge”, was released on February 24th, 2010.

Saleck Bloody hell, first time checking out Kalmah. Bought 12 Gauge and I was totally blown away. Absolutely amazed. I can't believe I never checked this band out before, I hope their past releases are just as good :)

screwing-a Really enjoy their latest album - so thrashy. Has anything been heard about their next effort? I'm really looking forward to it.

One of the best MDM bands out there by this moment. Grat riffs and melodies. Modern COB sucks, dont' even compare them. Haven't listened in a while to a bigger crap than their last album. Alexi has run out of fresh musical ideas, but a decade ago COB used to be a good band :)
