Help with the unknown tracks please

Is there any way that we can get them?

 

[Beyond The Realm]

i think only if the band upload them 'cuz i know nobody who has them

 

[stardrowned]

They released them ofcourse didn't they?

If so, many people in Finland must have them. However, I don't think Kalmah will upload their stuff.

 

[Beyond The Realm]

neither do i, they should do a competition of making a shirt or something and give a demo as a price or something

 

[stardrowned]

I hope so

Well some bands don't "officially" release their demos, the demos usually just get sent out to record companies so they can try to get signed. So I would assume that only the band would have the demos.

The Hellfire is clearly an old version of the blind leader

 

[Kalmah]

Blind Leader is Blind Leader. The Hellfire has absolutely nothing to do with The Blind Leader. No-one of you have heard Hellfire. End of discussion.

 

[stardrowned]

Please tell us what is that song if it's not Hellfire...

 

[Kalmah]

It is The Blind Leader which was recorded for Svieri Obraza promo. We re-rearranged and recorded it again for They Will Return if I remember correctly.

 

[Beyond The Realm]

yes you do, so we have any chance to hear vezi doroga re-recorded?

 

[stardrowned]

Are you planning to release or remaster your material from Ancestor?

 

[Infernium]

I remember Suodeth stated being a remake of Ancestor material. So the best stuff is already reused and thus no point in releasing the demos. Except for the devoted fans ofc.

Correct if I'm wrong.

 

[stardrowned]

I don't really know about Suodeth... But it seems like eventually that they will re-release everything in the all of the upcoming albums. I really want to hear the Ancester demos!

 

[Kalmah]

No, we are not going to release Ancestor material. We do have used riffs and melodies from Ancestor songs. Suodeth is kind of medlem of Ancestor songs.

 

[stardrowned]

Thanks!

The only reason I thought that version of The Blind Leader is Hellfire cause they wrote that on the Svieri Obraza article on Wikipedia... I thought everything they write there are facts... Anyway here's the article from Wikipedia:

Svieri Obraza is the first demo recorded under the name Kalmah, showing a style akin to melodic death metal unlike their previous name Ancestor. The demo lead to a record contract with Spikefarm Records. The song Hellfire was changed and later released on the album They Will Return as The Blind Leader. The song Vezi Doroga was not released on an album, but the song Alteration on Swamplord quotes melodies from the song.

[stardrowned]

Principal Here uses some riffs from the Ancestor demos too!

One of the bonus tracks on Swamplord is The Blind Leader (demo version, the one we all have - not Hellfire apparantly). What is the second one?

Another thing, I heard that Swamplord was supposed to include 9 tracks instead of 8... but because there was no time to complete the 9th track, you just released Swamplord with 8 tracks. So what is the 9th track?

 

[stardrowned]

Thanks for not answering. I found out by myself. The two bonus tracks on Swamplord are The Blind Leader (demo) and Svieri Obraza.

So to get things straight about the bonus tracks:

Swamplord:
- Svieri Obraza
- The Blind Leader

They Will Return
- Skin O My Teeth (Megadeth cover)

Swampsong
- Suodeth

The Black Waltz
- This Mortal Coil (Carcass cover)

 

[stardrowned]

I just noticed that there are over 10 threads named "Ancestor" before me, I should have known...

 

[Burbots]

I am just wondering if this info could be true? It's the ancestor demos with tracklists.
I liked to hear a Ancestor band member comment...
