About

Founded in 1998 by Pekka Kokko, Petri Sankala, Pasi Hiltula, Altti Veteläinen and Antti Kokko, Kalmah is a Finnish melodic death metal band hailing from Oulu. Finnish! The gnarliest of languages! The tongue of Satan. Their debut album "Swamplord," released in 2000, and they're fresh off their first release since "Seventh Swamphony" (they have a thing for swamps) in 2013. It's called Palo, it released in April 15 and it's very righteous. They unfortunately perform mostly in English (though it's hard to tell with death metal), but their distinctly evil sound is inspired by elements of power, thrash and black metal. Read: wicked high-pitched guitar solos, guttural vocals, double-bass drums, and while Altti and Petri are not longer with the band, the current line-up remains a quintet of exceedingly blonde Finnish devil worshippers. Salute! The! One!
