Track titles are great, can't wait for this......

Burbots · January 5th, 2010, 11:03 AM

And a awesome cover song!!! Cant wait for that!

krofius · January 5th, 2010, 11:38 AM

Haha I can't help but laugh at the 2nd song title..One of Fail. It sounds so sarcastic

Still, I'm really looking forward to the album and I hope we can hear atleast one song before the end of January!

Any of these 3 titles would have been better than "12 Gauge". I'm just not a fan of that title.

That being said, who cares about titles? It's the music that counts, and I am sure it will deliver.

I completely agree. "Swampwar" would have been a great tile. Regardless, I'm sure this will be another excellent release.

Will this album be distributed in North America or will I have to order it from Europe?

Kalmah338 · January 5th, 2010, 11:28 PM

swampwar would be an awesome title! but then again if the album theme is based around 12 gauge the song then it makes perfect sense to have it be that. but i think the return of the swamp series albums would be awesome

cholo11 · January 5th, 2010, 11:29 PM

Swampwar sounds damn brutal.

enfanterrible · January 6th, 2010, 12:58 PM

swampwar and godeye sound great ! can't waiiiiiiit

Kalmah338 · January 19th, 2010, 11:57 AM

we gonna get an album cover soon or something? marco said its the best out of all of them and i cant wait much longer for the album much less the cover!

Alteredmindeath · January 19th, 2010, 12:38 PM

nice!

Kaltwassergrab · January 19th, 2010, 01:24 PM

At least we can already take a look at the promo pics: http://www.spinefarm.fi/press/spikef...mah/index.html
Discovered them today by accident. Sooooo cool!

Hope, it's ok to post the link!?

Edit due to important question: Can I marry one of you guys? ... *lol* Sorry! (fangirl mode: off)

TheGroaningWind · January 19th, 2010, 10:16 PM

Those promo pics are bad ass!
And to complement them, I found that the 12 Gauge artwork posted. I love it! It's appropriately epic.

TheGroaningWind · January 20th, 2010, 01:01 AM

Or you can now just go to their home page and you will be greeted by the awesome artwork.

Kobusfan · January 20th, 2010, 04:26 AM

AWESOME!!! Cant wait for the album.

And the promo pics are gr8 as well!

Kaltwassergrab · January 20th, 2010, 09:31 AM

What the hell?! Now that really is awesome! Definetly very different than the other covers. Now I'm getting even more impatient for the album!

enfanterrible · January 20th, 2010, 11:53 AM

wow, wow, WOW

just superb !

can't wait to see what the new merch is gonna look like !

A1a23 · January 20th, 2010, 05:29 PM

Yeah I'm gonna have some trouble waiting for this release date. I recently heard the song "Bullets are Blind" and i must say, awesome track. Can't wait for the rest of the album.

FearTheReaper · January 24th, 2010, 12:18 AM

Bullets are Blind is sick as fuck. It has a early Kalmah vibe to it, and it is epic as all hell. The verse riffing early in the song is spectacular. It sounds very Testament esque'. Which is great for them!

What truly shines throughtout the song is how seemless the melodic and thrashing sections blend into each other. Which is lead by some stellar keys laid by Marco.

The thrash aspect was really increased on For The Revolution, and 12 gauge might just be the refined product of this melody/thrash infusion. If this is an everpresent aspect of 12 Gauge, then i think we're in for one hell of an album.

That being said, does anyone have any information on preordering 12 Gauge?

versionfiv · January 27th, 2010, 10:16 AM

"Sacramentum"

any chance this is a tip of the hat to the great melodic black masters Sacramentum ?

enfanterrible · January 30th, 2010, 04:57 AM

hey does anyone know where to get the japanese version ?

edit : nvm got my answer ^^

naz · February 5th, 2010, 01:50 PM

I really hope my local Anttila has this album the day it comes out, as I've been saving my gift-card to there ever since x-mas just because I love Kalmah and I don't have to worry about stupid money problems to get the album

johnharvey1 · February 22nd, 2010, 04:00 PM

It states on the Official Kalmah website
'We will shoot new music video this week. Featured video song is '12 Gauge' but without the intro. The video is planned to be released before the album release.'

Does this mean even before the album release in Japan? if so, we might see a video within the next day.

Really doubt it. Then it's a VERY low-budget video and very fast edited video aswell. I'm pretty certain it's planned to be released before March 3rd.
