Metal Echo Feature: Kalmah Interview (Uncut!)
Interviewed by
Anthony Lustmord.
 Your new album is wonderful! Can you tell us a little bit about the creative process and the writing of it?
Thank you very much! We are also very pleased. Well, this album wasn't a very easy one. We started composing almost right after the previous one and this whole process took about two years. As usual, we still had some of our new songs unfinished...
I can't help but notice that a lot of people tie you guys together with Children of Bodom. Why do you think you're grouped in with them?
I think it is because they are the leading group in the Finnish melodic metal scene, so they will be a point of comparison to any band who plays melodic metal in Finland nowadays. And I have to admit, you may find certain similarities...
Why did you choose the name KALMAH? What meaning if any does it have to you?
Kalmah is a word taken from the Karelian language...

KHALO have signed to Glasstone Records!

Anonymous writes "KHALO have signed to Glasstone Records!
Since forming in 2006 this 6-piece band from Peterborough, UK have wowed the likes of Radio 1's Deftone's guitarist Daniel P. Carter on the Radio 1 Rock Show, hailed as band of the week, as well as headlining underground festivals abroad, such as Belgium's Horrorfest 2008.
KHALO's music comes across as aggressive, progressive, epic and positive, with a desire for their audience to take something away from a show, so the lyrics are just as important to KHALO as the music. "Our lyrics aren’t just about random things, they are one of the most important things to this band, we love hearing kids sing along at shows, you can feel the passion they have for our music."
KHALO feel they are influenced by many bands. Misery Signals, Darkest Hour, Unearth, Parkway Drive, As I Lay Dying, and Comeback Kid seem to be some of the most prominent, although insist they are not reinventing the wheel, nor tryng to, but trying to write music with the ability to reach out to people the same way their favorite bands have reached out to them through music.
KHALO have played shows with some impressive major acts, most notibly Alexisonfire, UnderOath, Parkway Drive, Misery Signals, Evergreen Terrace, Architects, Cancer Bats, Gallows, Taking Back Sunday, Senses Fail and BMTH.
They are now scheduled to tour with Trigger The Bloodshed & Ingested from May 15th - 29th, and then are on tour with This Is Colour, Martyr Defiled & Shadow Law from July 24th - 31st.
The band will be releasing their new mini-album with Glasstone Records later this year.
