Kalmah are legends, they've been around forever and have like 10 full length albums and they're all incredible. I know it's not their most recommended song but trust me their best song is "hollow heart"
One of the few melodic death metal bands that hasn't shifted their sound over the years. Some have gone more radio friendly, others have gone to a more epic sound, and some have faded away. This harkens back to an earlier era of Skyfire, Norther, COB, classic In Flames, early Ensiferum, etc. By the way, Kalmah translates to "to the grave".
Basically "Kalmah" means to the grave or churchyard. Then the word "Kalma" means those ghost/living bodies that rest in those places and then have gathered as a group. But you don't respect those ghost or bodies. You find that group scary. But not always, there were believes when the people thought seeing "Kalma" wasn't scary. In early Christian times and pre-Christian times people in Fenno-Karelian area believed that if you walk through the churchyard or pass the graves you have to do certain rituals afterwards so that those ghost/bodies don't start to follow you. But people also believed that those groups of dead persons had powers. So the final thing to try to heal a sick person was ask to "Kalma" borrow its strenght "Strenght of Kalma". Some times the "Kalma" was seen as an omen for something/Death to come. Then some funny Finnish words "Kalma" = A group of dead ghosts or living bodies "Kalmah" = To the churchyard, to the grave "Kalmisto"= The resting place of the bodies in a churchyard "Kalmankalpea" = Pale as a dead person "Kalman haju"= The stench of the ghosts or the stench of Death "Kalman voima" = The mystical powers of the ghosts which could be borrowed.
🦋 Well this is a New one. Thank's Guys and Thank You Minda👍 Btw I LOVE NONPOINT! You guys should get to them one day. Not sure about the Growling vocals but The Instrumentation is on point in this song. Nice Guys bringing it Hard & Heavy Today! 🤘🎶🎶🤘
damn never heard this band before and it´s sounds dope music like the young people say :) thanx to great reaction like always and have great day there.
react to older kalmah songs, literally anything up to and including the black waltz album. hades, the blind leader, they will return, heroes to us, swamphell, those are all amazing songs
Hey guys love the channel, would you consider doing a reaction to nights blood by Dissection? They're in the same genre as mgla but a bit heavier, would love to see what you think.
Gentleman please react to kalmah swamphell, withering away, and using the word early kalmah stuff that has great guitar work as well this is coming from a fan of kalmah and a guitarist as well 😀
First time ive heard of this band was back in 2009 and since then its one of my fav bands of all time, this aint the most popular song on album but still awesome, thanks for sharing this.
Dude a big part of this type of music is the lyrics they are very much looking into and as a wrap and you would be very pleased doing yourself a disservice to not read 🤣
![Kalmah - Hades (Patreon Request) [Reaction/Review]](/img/1.gif)
If Children Of Bodom were tonally like a Lake, then Kalmah is like a Swamp.

Defeat by Kalmah off of the Black Waltz record has some absolutely killer riff work

COB, Norther, Kalmah, TBDM, In Flames defined my late teenage years
Kalmah is great, you should check out Swamphell and Hades from them also!
Never heard of them but badass!!! Thanx y'all!!
It's about time for more Kalmah
What a great tune guys!!! I love the band Kalmah, haven't listened to them in awhile. You should check out the song called Hades.

"Kalma" = A group of dead ghosts or living bodies
"Kalmah" = To the churchyard, to the grave
"Kalmisto"= The resting place of the bodies in a churchyard
"Kalmankalpea" = Pale as a dead person
"Kalman haju"= The stench of the ghosts or the stench of Death
"Kalman voima" = The mystical powers of the ghosts which could be borrowed.
To quote Wikipedia - The word "kalmah" is Karelian and could be translated as "to the grave" or "to the death". So yeah, calm...
Thanks for the explanation

Coheed and Cambria - Mothers of Men
Progenies of the great Apocalypse by Dimmu Borgir. If you liked this song then you'll deffinetly enjoy that one
