[Kalmah]

Actually, it is the opposite way. The only exception is Pasi Hiltula who started with Etos.

i thought the drummer and bass player (sorry i cant remember their names as they are quite long and hard to spell haha) from 'swamplord' were also in etos before they joined up with kalmah? the bios ive read kind of led me to believe you joined etos first and then recruited them to fill in the open spots in kalmah. but the bios are kind of vauge about that and dont really mention how swamplord has almost the same lineup as 'virgin and a whore' and (i think)'chaotic beauty'. could you clear that up?

ya know neal, i thought i read it the same way you did too. but oh well. kalmah should know

 

[neal]

yeh. i read the official etos bio yesterday which was a lot better than ones id read in the past, but still didnt clear up most of those questions.

Altti Veteläinen - bass
