Kalmah
Kalmah was formed in 1992, originally as Ancestor, and changed
named to Kalmah in 1998 shortly before their first demo, followed
by two albums.
Musically, any Finnish band who fuses classically influenced
keyboard-laced
power metal with harsh vocals invites comparisons to
Children Of Bodom,
and true enough that's the best reference point for Kalmah.
They are certainly not a COB clone, rather a band in the same
ballpark stylistically speaking.
The musicianship and arrangements here are top-notch, while
Pekka Kokko's vocals are venomous enough if not particularly
distinctive (many Swedish and Finnish bands have similar vocal
styles these days).
This is a band on the rise, and one that is quite recommended.
