Info:

Debut album for melodic death metal act originally known as Ancestor. Recorded and mixed by Ahti Kortelainen (Sentenced, Nightfall, Impaled Nazarene). Includes members of Eternal Tears Of Sorrow. Century Media has licensed this for the U.S. from Finland's Spinefarm label. Finland's Kalmah brews a decidedly European blend of classically tinged, cinematic death metal on Swamplord. Atmospheric keyboard washes heighten the drama, while adding texture to the quintet's crushing twin-guitar foundation. The opener, "Evil in You," starts things off at a blinding clip, but resolves to a military funeral march fadeout, where the post-Iron Maiden dual-guitar harmonies give way to a mournful pipe organ. The savage vocals should appeal to fans of At the Gates and Emperor; allowing the guitars to carry the songs' melodic content, the "singing" is a rabid howl of death metal aggression -- white noise converted into vowel sounds. Kalmah also use tempo variations effectively; while many of the songs race along like machine-gun fire, "Dance of the Water" chugs with an effective mid-tempo simplicity.
