KALMAH: To Release “Palo” On April 6th, Single/Lyric Video “The Evil Kin” Available

Kalmah-2017

Spinefarm Records have unleashed KALMAH’s new single & lyric video “The Evil Kin”. The single paves the way for the April 6th release of the band’s long-awaited eighth album, “PALO”. The album will be released on vinyl, CD, and digital formats.

Stream / download The Evil Kin
Watch the lyric video

Founded in 1991 and firmly led by guitarist-vocalist Pekka Kokko, Kalmah anno 2017 features guitarist Antti Kokko, drummer Janne Kusmin, bass player Timo Lehtinen and the runt of the bunch, keyboard whiz kid Veli-Matti Kananen who has been with the band since 2012. PALO marks a moment where, after years of toiling in the underground Kalmah is coming to their own. Now armed with a killer new album chock-full of melodic death metal excellence, Kalmah is predestined for great things in 2018.

Antti Kokko states: “Almost 30 years of swamp madness and here we are today representing our 8th album with fishing tridents sharpened shiny. The album stands strongly on the very roots of Kalmah sound yet introduces fresh breath from the Swamplord’s tar-stained lungs. The Evil Kin as first single gives you riffs written back in 1991 blended with melodies of Kalmah today. It’s a perfect statement to show where we were and are right now.”

In a time when others in the melodic death metal genre increasingly lap up influences from more commercial and contemporary genres of music, Kalmah stays true to its roots of death metal, Finnish melodic heritage, cantankerous never-say-die attitude and themes of Northern nature and the folly of mankind. PALO presents its listeners with a set of songs that with their web of melodies and in-your-face aggression exemplify the band’s ongoing evolution towards becoming an international death metal powerhouse.

Tracklisting for Kalmah’s PALO:
1. Blood Ran Cold
2. The Evil Kin
3. The World Of Rage
4. Into the Black Marsh
5. Take Me Away
6. Paystreak
7. Waiting in the Wings
8. Through the Shallow Waters
9. Erase and Diverge
10. The Stalker

Finnish metallers KALMAH will enter the studio in January to begin recording their seventh album for a spring 2013 release. According to the band, “There are now six new KALMAH masterpieces in rehearsal rotation and there is more to come.” The cover artwork for the CD will be created by Juha Vuorma, who worked on the first three KALMAH albums as well as releases from USURPER, METUJA, DEATHMARCHED and ALTARS OF DESTRUCTION.

At the end of September, KALMAH filmed the video for the title track of the new album.

Behind-the-scenes footage from the video shoot can be seen below.

Keyboardist Marco Sneck left KALMAH last summer after seven years and three albums with the band.

KALMAH‘s sixth album, “12 Gauge”, entered the official chart in the Finland at position No. 15. The CD was recorded between June and August 2009 at Tico Tico studio in Kemi, Finland and was mastered at the Cutting Room in Sweden.
