@dominic508 Kalevala (Russian Калевала, Karelian and Finnish Kalevala) is an urban-type settlement in the Republic of Karelia in northwestern Russia. Until 1963, the city of Ukhta (Russian Ухта, was Karelian and Finnish Uhtua).
...
Ukhta was one of the villages where Elias Lonnrot in the 19 Century, the oral folk poetry recorded on the basis he created the Finnish national epic Kalevala. In line with this, Ukhta was renamed in 1963 in Kalevala. (wikipedia) ^^
ummmm.... if that is really their name and they are really russian that is probably the stupidest thing i have ever seen. i'm no expert but the kalevala is decidedly finnish and considering the way russia has attacked finland in the not too distant past it seems rather insulting.
@mattoverho maybe because many Russians like Finland and Finns. Or because the frontwoman has Finnish roots. Or because she likes that epos. But the right answer is, I think, "why the hell not?!"
@satail well, Finno-Ugric peoples living in Russia certainly do ))) I'm Moksha (commonly, and wrongly, referred to in the Russian language as "The Mordva" or "Mordovian people", although what Russians call the Mordva are two different peoples Moksha and Erzia).
Whoa! Russian metal is sweet! I like how they incorporate different instruments into the mix, makes for a very unique sound, and all mixes very well. The guitarist is insane! I'm loving this stuff. Rated 5 stars!
You may then also like Korpiklaani, Finntroll, Eluveitie, Turisas and Arkona. All of those are Finnish bands except Arkona, which is Russian. Folk Metal forever!
Ahh...Kalevala,bun bun! Ma bucur sa vad romani ce-i stiu si ii posteaza. :) Am incercat sa dau comentariu pe 'canal',nu merge..:|
Si eu ma gandeam sa incerc cate ceva Kalevala pentru eventuale viitoare clipuri(tre sa fiu atenta sa nu repet,incerc sa aduc chestii intru totul noi) , dar oricum dupa Chur,ma gandeam la Nevid' care pan' la urma tot aceeasi treaba e :>.Ehh..
Hai ca mai vad in legatura cu Piarevaracien,ce au mai scos ,etc si-i pun pe lista cu viitorii. Numai bine! 5*
