Here is a video of my band covering Hero in a Dream. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i2IAvLw0jo&feature=youtu.be

Good research! That sounds badass. I think my fears that I described in the thread I posted will soon be put to rest. This song has the old school vibe to it, which I love. The melodies are great and it's nice and fast throughout most of the song. I now anxiously await the new album!

First of all, I mean no disrespect to Kalmah! This is just one single opinion! I still love the six albums that are out! That said, I can't help but think that the next Kalmah album may not be up to par with their previous work. I love everything Kalmah has released but after watching live...

My band recently covered Groan of Wind. The video is a bit rough because of the lighting but I figured it's worth sharing. Cheers!

If a promoter in the US gave them a decent offer, I'm sure they would be more than happy to tour here. I think the problem is that because they don't play music for a living, their label doesn't make a huge effort to promote them, especially not in the US market. It's a damn shame because I know...

I love all of their songs and have several favorites. My absolute favorite changes from time to time but at the moment I think Sacramentum is my favorite. It has the epic choirs, the melodies, the im(Pekka)ble (see what I did there? ;) down picked chorus, the lovely acoustic guitar section. It...

I would love to see a Kalmah DVD! I think I recall reading a quote somewhere in an interview where I think it was Antti that said that they had filmed all of their shows (up until that point). If they ever get around to making a DVD, maybe they can include some of this old footage ;)

It seems to me like they have no interest in having them on the major webshops. They did have the Black Waltz shirt on a lot of webshops but thats about it. It makes their merchandise almost like collectibles.

Damn, I will never forgive myself for not getting any of that For The Revolution merch :( It looks so awesome!

I have no problem sharing! The most important thing is experiencing the live performance. Set lists, pictures, and stuff like that is just a huge plus! That said, it would be great to meet you and other people from the forum in person:) Also, sorry for posting such a huge image. I suck at...

Corialote, it was definitely worth it! I saved up every cent I could and booked my flight before asking my parents. I was 19 at the time and it was my first time traveling without them (I did go with 3 other friends, however). I didn't ask for permission. I basically informed them that I was...

Great post, Corialote! I'm glad you were able to see them. I too went on a journey from California to Canada to see them last year. I framed up my signed booklets. Maybe I should post a picture of that. By the way, those videos you took are amazing. I have watched them MANY times since they...

In case anyone still checks this thread, here is my recent attempt at One of Fail.

It's too bad that Marco left. He was a great keyboardist, had great stage presence, and was nice. That said, Kalmah composed great music before he was in the band and will continue to do so with him gone. Maybe they're going to get that guy that played with them at the Russian shows? Whoever it...

You should be able to get a very close Kalmah tone with that. You just need to mess around with the settings. Try having the treble and mids pretty high. However, no matter how much you try, you have to keep in mind that they probably eq the guitar tracks afterwards and their playing greatly...
