After 15 years together, with six full-length albums under their collective belt, 2013 sees the Finnish musicians delivering album No. 7 — an eight-track release showcasing this Oulu outfit’s trademark frantic, yet melodic death metal style, tempered here by a newfound “epic mournfulness.”
Commented KALMAH lead guitarist Antti Kokko: “This album marks a milestone in our careers. We have a new keyboard player, which has given a fresh edge to the music, and we are, of course, very satisfied with the new material. That is why we wanted to give the songs the best possible chance without compromise; we feel very lucky and privileged to have worked withJens Bogren.”
