│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Imagine music that never gets boring and will be ║ │
│║ relevant to every emotion life throws at you, ║ │
│║ something that even the most stubborn thrash ║ │
│║ metallist can enjoy, and something that exudes ║ │
│║ vibrancy and positive ambiance without being ║ │
│║ embarrassing nor soft-spoken. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The thing that I like best about Kalmah is that ║ │
│║ every part of the band is always heard and can ║ │
│║ shine through; there is no dominant member and ║ │
│║ this creates for a very multi-faceted, ║ │
│║ atmospheric sound quality. Rarely is bass guitar ║ │
│║ showcased in metal music, and it is often taken ║ │
│║ for granted. The Black Waltz uses bass ║ │
│║ efficiently and the bass lines are intricate and ║ │
│║ satisfying and even a little bit jazzy at times. ║ │
│║ Played loud, this CD shines brightest, evoking ║ │
│║ testosterone-driven strength and empowerment ║ │
│║ that surges through my entire body. Listening to ║ │
│║ this CD becomes a ritual and an at least weekly ║ │
│║ regimen for me; I canÆt ever completely fulfill ║ │
│║ my Kalmah fix. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Kalmah probably really does have something for ║ │
│║ everyone. ItÆs got sassy, upbeat keyboards, ║ │
│║ which sparkle and enhance the music to evoke ║ │
│║ several different moods. Kalmah is in a league ║ │
│║ of its own and uses Celtic riffs as well as a ║ │
│║ sometimes more new-age sound, depending on the ║ │
│║ song. Not only is the music always well crafted ║ │
│║ and planned out, the lyrics inspire and empower ║ │
│║ when sat down and read through. This isnÆt ║ │
│║ juvenile bullshit; it often touches on Nordic ║ │
│║ folklore and mythology and philosophy. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Bitter Metallic Side is probably my most ║ │
│║ favorite song off of TBW. It begins with an ║ │
│║ eerie buildup to the most powerful riff I have ║ │
│║ ever heard in my life. The trip this song takes ║ │
│║ me through canÆt be described. Another brilliant ║ │
│║ track is With Terminal Intensity because the ║ │
│║ intro is so great. I think some people dispute ║ │
│║ over whether Kalmah sounds best with death or ║ │
│║ black vocals, but the death vocals in this album ║ │
│║ seem to go along really well with the music. I ║ │
│║ really like this album a lot, and there are few ║ │
│║ filler staple interludes. I really think that a ║ │
│║ lot of care and time went into writing these ║ │
│║ songs, and if not, then that proves just how ║ │
│║ genius this band really is. In other words, ║ │
│║ there are no particular songs that I hit the ║ │
│║ skip button on, because everything shines in its ║ │
│║ own way, and I can listen to this CD all the way ║ │
│║ through during car rides, whilst relaxing or ║ │
│║ working out, and itÆs just a very pleasing thing ║ │
│║ to own and well worth the money. I also think ║ │
│║ that this CD is an excellent choice for any ║ │
│║ person curious about KalmahÆs music which will ║ │
│║ allow them to test the waters. The Black Waltz ║ │
│║ exemplifies their style, although I wouldnÆt say ║ │
│║ that this is one of their very best works, so I ║ │
│║ canÆt give it a perfect score. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Kalmah is very original in that they somehow ║ │
│║ incorporate the most stellar keyboard solos into ║ │
│║ the album, yet it is never cheesy, nor ║ │
│║ comparable to most power metal bands. In ║ │
│║ addition, none of their songs seem to sound the ║ │
│║ same yet they all have a unified feel which ║ │
│║ makes anything they produce recognizably Kalmah. ║ │
│║ KalmahÆs got it all: heaviness, catchiness, ║ │
│║ soul, power, energy, and loyalty. ║ │
