Still not sure what to think of this album. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge Kalmah fan, but I guess I'm just nostalgic of the old Swamplord/They Will Return days.
One thing is certain, they are one of the last european metal bands who still do not incorporate elements from american metal. For this reason alone, I will probably buy. They're the last melodeath band I can listen to without having to brainwash myself into thinking that every thing they made after 205 sucks.
Why do you people even bother comparing the bands. Metal music is really underrated what good does it do to just criticize every metal band. Metal music fans need to unite.
This is the second Kalmah song I've heard. The first was Hades, which, according to Google is off of their very first album; and this is off of their latest album.
I'm simply amazed at the consistency of their sound. It's like AC/DC, it's always the same, and always fucking awesome!
I just heard That Kalmah is doing some show in my Province again, Québec, MOUAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I've never believe I'll see Kalmah 2 times in my life
Proof that I can never hate Kalmah. I've loved some bands who have disappointed in my time, but no matter how much I think Kalmah's going to go that way, they prove me wrong. They're awesome. Been a fan 5 years, and fickle as I am, as much as my tastes fluctuate, they still hit all the right musical buttons. No clue how they do it, but equally no complaints!
I seriously cant find this album ANY WHERE! Ive looked at so many fucking places!!! FUCK THEM THEY DONT KNOW REAL REAL GOOD MUSIC IF IT HIT THEM IN THE FACE
@BodomHateCrewportuga Children of Bodom and Kalmah are both good bands.................dey r awesum.............Kalmah dis one is awesum like Outremer dat has good Start
I loved the older albums, black waltz and for the revolution were ok but i felt they were just missing that kalmah sound... but this.... THIS *RUNS TO CD STORE AND CREAMS PANTS*
It's been a long time when i heard this good riffs. I thought the new album would be decent since For The Revolution was a bit worse than their other releases.. but this album kicks some fucking ass!
and what's with all the comments saying awesome solo? that was hardly a solo. this song's solo is by far the worst of all previous kalmah songs. i never thought i'd say that
nooooooo, not kalmah too! i am so fuckin sad right now. i was looking forward to the new album, but not anymore. good music, but i expect much better from kalmah
From Children Of Bodom I hope, the new album have the same level as the hatebreeder or follow the reaper album, if not, Children Of Bodom will not be the same ever again
Yeah, exactly. When I mean forward I mean like they will continue doing the sort of thing they do with their newer stuff. I think Norther might go in the same direction a little, but I can't see other bands doing the same, especially Finnish ones.
I haven't ever given up on Kalmah, and I will buy this album in 2010, as well I will buy Bodom's new album LOL, if this new bodom album isn't good fuck them forever.
Can I get a hell yeah? Kalmah look like they'll have four awesome albums in a row with this. But what about the album title, anyone else think its a bit lame?
Four albums? Everything they put out has kicked ass. The album title is awesome. I think it's either the size string they used (as they music has gotten heavier and lower-tuned) or a reference to 80s horror movies. The 12 gauge shotgun was the arm of choice to defend against zombies. Either way, this track will have to tide me over until this album comes out. Can't wait.
meh, the first two had their moments but i wasnt much for that first wave of finnish melodeath. swampsong was where i got interested. thanks for explainin the title, hadnt realized that. 80s horror movies are the domain of razorback records ...although i seem to remember kalmah having a zombie dad in the groan of wind vid.
@flamingjon88 Yeh, 12 gauge is a totally lame albumname. But if all the tracks on it are gonna be as nice as Bullets are blind, i dont care about the name of the album, then i must have it!
@flamingjon88 you mean its not Swamp-something? XD i honestly dont care about the name 12 Gauge..so long as the songs on it are as kick ass as this one...i saw the album art and was a bit dissapointed that they didnt have the same style as They Will Return, Swamplord and Swamphell...i loved that artwork..
Still not sure what to think of this album. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge Kalmah fan, but I guess I'm just nostalgic of the old Swamplord/They Will Return days.
One thing is certain, they are one of the last european metal bands who still do not incorporate elements from american metal. For this reason alone, I will probably buy.
