Kalmah V.S. Children of Bodom

[Terminus Est]

Since both bands sound close to each other, in your opinion, which is the better of the two? Both bands I like, but I like Kalmah better. I don't know why but I just like it better. There are more Kalmah songs I like than COB songs I like. Plus Kalmah has more intelligent lyrics.

So what do you people think?

 

[ugly]

The more I listen to Kalmah, the more I am convinced they are the best band out there.

 

[opacity]

stop - right - here.

no more comaprisons between these two bands, please.
cos it's nothing but idiotic
each band is doing their thing - end of story.

 

[murderedbysound]

exactly..too many threads have been made about this and there pretty muvh 2 different bands. the singers are opposite and the music different as well...

 

[PrinnyD00d]

I agree that there are probably too many comparisons between Kalmah and Children of Bodom, but I think it's fair enough to state which you like better and why. I personally prefer Kalmah. Not sure why, their music just seems to have more feeling behind it. Children of Bodom are quite talented, though, and I like them too.

 

[ugly]

Yeah, I can't stand when people say that Kalmah is just a Bodom rip-off. That's bullshit.

 

[Jester Jake]

This is just too fucking hard. CHILDREN OF BODOM, SKYFIRE,NORTHER AND KALMAH all fucking rule. They might sound alike but they all fucking rule and no one should pick favorites. Listen to all.

 

[vanheart]

i think that kalmah is way better than COB in almost every way.

 

[†_Aragorth_†]

oh people...for fucks sake....both COB and Kalmah are fucking amazing band....but COB are still better than Kalmah...and we definatelly cannot compare this two band so much...
I am a big fan of COB...and I don't say Kalmah are not good...they're awesome. just that COB are one class better then Kalmah...for me...
its really hard to make a decision between these amazing bands: COB, Norther, Skyfire, Kalmah...I love them all and give them a big respect!!! ! !

 

[Wolfman Von Jones]

Bodom sounds NOTHING like Kalmah, the bands songs have to be good in order for that, CoB are fucking boring man.

Bodom rule... I thought that Kalmah was a Bodom rip-off, but since I heard Swampsong I think that Kalmah is the best band on the world So from now on hail Bodom, but hail Kalmah even more >

 

[Keele]

Bodom sounds like Kalmah? Atleast not to me!

I think Kalmah is more like Catamenia, but Kalmah is a own style/sound, swamp style like all Spikefarm bands. Catamenia is lappland, Finntroll is troll etc. Bodom is Bodom, but for me they sound too "normal" (This is probably why Bodom is a Spinefarm band)...

Did you get my point?

 

[ensiferum 1]

Who is better Kalmah or CoB ? Why bother ?

We all know that the best is Ensiferum

Anyway new kalmah is masterpiece,especialy song Moon of my Nights.

This is true.
Kalmah is a close second though. I still don't see the CoB/Kalmah comparison; Kalmah has much better vocals and very well structured guitar work.

[Slaughter Of The Soul]

And i like Norther too...

 

[Cebbe]

I think it is plain stupid to make comparison between two awesome bands. Kalmah and Children of Bodom are both unique and special in their own way, you can never draw the two together.

However, Jaska Raatikainen is my idol drummer, and I have known CoB a lot longer than I have known Kalmah, which I only found out through Eternal Tears of Sorrow, so.. yeah, I'm a bigger CoB fan.

Jaska is the greatest drummer for me, too...I met him after their gig last month...its was awesome moment. He is my idol, too...and I hope I can play like him once
