Kalmah

Kalmah rule. Check out: Swemphell, They Will Return(!!! :D), Dance of the Water, Kill the Idealist, Human Fates... Well they're VERY melodic either, but I'd say Kalmah is more blackish and faster than CoB. And more aggressive then Eternal Tears of Sorrow (btw. only one of the guitars and keyboards are played by EToS members nowadays). Thought they're quiet well-known, give'em a try if you don't know them, really cool music.
 
I like a lot of their newest album Swamplord but their first one I really couldn't get into any of it. There's a cover of skin of my teeth on that album that shows how good of a guitarist the guy is though. Their songs have a really strange vibe to them at some times, sometimes reminding me of viking metal, really catchy. But the vocals aren't fantastic, you can't really understand much of anything he's saying.
 
i think the vocals rule! although im not huge on death type vocals i like'em. i also thought that that cover was the worst song ob the album...but what do i know

Dont forget Using the word and Principle hero. Swamphell is one of the best songs ever, almost as good as Downfall.
 
Throne of Chaos is great, if any of you close minded fools would give them a fucking chance,, they are close to bodom but get this,,, they use this little thing called EMOTION ,,, take the song Synthetia, or maybe Cold Bits of fire,, listen, they have emotion, songs you can have feelings for, songs you can show friends to mean something,, bodom only did that once in Everytime i Die, i love bodom, but you have to look at ToC differently.... they have excellent lyrics... and on the cd Pervertigo they cover more ground than bodom ever did, cause they dont wanna be known as bodom rip off,, why dont you guys rip on Norther? they sound more like bodom than ToC does overall... but i should stop defending them, if you guys are happy sticking to bodom and only bodom so be it, i'd rather reap the benefits of all the good music in the world today.

Yeah they are pretty good, I like the vocals better than Bodom's actually. He sounds kinda like a cross between Carcass's Jeff Walker & Arch Enemy's Amott.
