why kalmah aint famous like children of bodom ??some giime some answers plz
The music industry is messed up in the first place, because bands like fall out boy are bigger than kalmah and I think you really don't even need a greater explanation than that. There are alot of bands that don't get the recognition they deserve. I bet you never heard of a band called mirrorthrone. This band is probably the greatest hidden gem in metal. Take a listen http://www.myspace.com/mirrorthrone
The touring aspect probably has a lot to do with it. However, publicity and other aspects of getting a bands name out has to do with it. Although, alot actaully has to do with the music itself. COB music to me, sounds a lot more mainstream/commercial, it probably is alot "easier to understand" by a lot more people. Kalmah's music is more complex, you have to have a ear for it and you have to have a little bit more of a grasp on music.
It is easier for people to listen to COB and hear a cool keyboard riff and hear harsh vocals than it is to listen to kalmah's high/low vocals. If one is not used to screaming vocals, it is hard for them to like bands like kalmah. COB was actually my transition band that got me into death metal bands. Though kalmah was the first band that I actually liked that had low vocals (they didn't bother me like say Cannibal Corpse's vocals, which I still don't like today). Today, Kalmah is my favorite band, but they weren't instantly my favorite band. It was only until I listened to them for a while that I understood them.
I agree with you Fry8!! I've liked Mirrorthrone for a long time! They have a new album entitled "Gangrene" (of course im sure you know). It should be AMAZING! Vladimir Cochet is a GENIUS!
yaeh kalmah and for examp;ea alot of my friends are not metal heads but they cant listen to cob but they dont stand KALMAH music of cob easy to listen and understand
http://www.myspace.com/blindedbyfaith I have only heard their album, entitled "Weapons of mass distraction"
True, True! lol swampazz. Ya bodom did get alot of the mainstream audience, with their "are you dead yet" album. Their new album "blooddrunk" is even worse.
Their previous album "Under An Occult Sun" is fucking better.
and come from Québec city
If you're curious and want to know others Quebec bands:
QUO VADIS (Death Metal).
For me, the drummer of this band is probably the best drummer of the world...

KATAKLYSM (Death Metal).
You probably know this one. They are with Nuclear Blast.
Their new album will be out soon.

UNEXPECT (...Death, Folk, Black, and many others)
The first time have heard this band, I thought my brain was bleeding.
This is so Fuck Up.
Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater said in a interview that it was one of the most original band he heard since long time ago.
