name?

[ubiquitos]

sorry for being ignorant but where does the name Kalmah come from??

 

[EndlessWhore]

enough being sorry, fuck these people if they get bitter. You asked a perfectly valid question which i have absolutely no answer for. Later dude.

 

[Infernium]

Well, finnish word "Kalma" means "death" maybe they just added a H, who knows (the band does)

 

[Gadlor]

If I recall correctly it's a Karelian word for "To The Grave" or "To The Death."

 

[Kalmah]

Actually it is taken from Karelian dialect which is a mixture of Finnish and Russia.

 

[ubiquitos]

cool thanx

 

[ubiquitos]

ever notice theres a place on the shore of lake bodom called "Kalmar"....I thought it was interesting

 

[Gin_from_the_bottle]

hehehe i remember asking the same question a while ago in the guestbook.
as soon as i came to their site, i was struck with the amount of words that are the same in russian.their demo's title Svieri Obraza can be understood in russian, as many other song titles

 

[Darth Grimby]

so gin, what does Svieri Obraza mean?

 

[VEHEMENCE]

So that means I listen to two Death's

 

[Gin_from_the_bottle]

THC: in russian in means svieri means "animals" and obrza means "visions" or "pictures"

 

[Kalmah]

This time Russian words are not close to Karelian dialect.

 

[suela]

Interesting...I also never knew what it means. Ty

 

[ubiquitos]

THC: in russian in means svieri means "animals" and obrza means "visions" or "pictures"

visions of the beast!

 

[Death Aflame]

So that means I listen to two Death's

^^^ same. PS are you an actual member of Vehemence?

 

[VEHEMENCE]

Yes I am the guitarist. Thanks J Mann, seems you have the same tastes in music as I do. Lykathea Aflame is badd ass, Anyone know if Kalmah has a music video or bootleg downloads? Chimaira, Mudvayne I am not really into though.

 

[spawntc]

There is a Withering Away video floating around but I have yet to get it to work. Has anyone else had any luck?

 

[To the Grave]

Heelllloooow

yeah i got withering away, it's home made video
in some old house or something, & u c all the
kalmah people @ the end, and somekind of weapon
or something??

 

[I{ameman]

umm i just found the archives of this forum ^^ and svieri obraza means:
"devil icon" or maybe "demon icon" is closer
sry that i just copy but ye funny to see what was going on here
i think if i had the internet connection a bit earlier i may have seen some more of all this
and kalmah means: "to the grave" in English and It also means "to the death" :Smokin:

 

[Gadlor]

Sorry for dragging this O/T a bit, but since someone brought it up, I am going to ask as well. What exactly is the concept behind the Withering Away video? As far as I can make out, the murderer is wandering around the house with all the people he's slain, hangs himself, and I think the weapon shown is the spear that Kalmah uses for the logo for the t-shirts...

Who exactly is the narrator supposed to be?
