A Finnish death metal band that kicks everyone's asses, especially
Children of Bodom. Kalmah did not copy/steal music from Children of Bodom, Kalmah has actually been jamming together much longer than Children of Bodom even got a contract. Even though Children of Bodom got the record deal first, Kalmah (known as
Ancestor at the time) has had many
demo tapes that were recorded before Children of Bodom started producing their own albums.

Kalmah is taken from the Karelian dialect. It is a relative language to
Finnish with lots of same words. This language is
fading but there is still people in the Karelian area and along the border of Finland and Russia who speak it. It means "
to the grave" in English.
