I disagree with the twin guitar solo based. One plays lead. One plays rhythm. I dont know of any kalmah song with twin guitar solos.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.3.50.1 (talk • contribs) 19:41, 1 December 2005 (UTC).

The biography an anonymous user added was ripped directly from the official Kalmah site. I reworded it as best as I could, so hopefully it's not a problem anymore... --Dayn 09:55, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Genre

I noticed an unregistered user changed all instances of "death metal" to "black metal". In that sense, it makes them both "Extreme symphonic black metal" and "melodic black metal" which is plain redundant in my opinion; I believe both genres together describe them, instead of listing a few subsubgenres of a single subgenre. Thoughts? --Dayn 13:47, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Kalmah are a good example of melodic death metal, with power metal influences. I don't know where black metal metal came from, symphonic or not, because the only influence from black metal is the high growls on the first three albums. They are much heavier and death metal-like than Children of Bodom, and their newer album is a good example of melodic death metal/symphonic DEATH metal. In Flames 01:33, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Yup, I agree with that. No objections to the genre edit.--Dayn 01:38, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I dont think "melodeath/power" in the intro is necessery either, they are so far away from power. Melodeath with elements of power is enough. --Izzy999 07:30, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

the only Death metal thing I hear in their music is the vocals, Power Metal with Harsh Vocals sounds the best —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.49.88.32 (talk • contribs) 15:29, 3 December 2006 (UTC).

I think they are both, power and symphonic death metal.86.58.23.96 18:47, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Kalmah is not a power metal band, they don't sound anything like true power metal bands such as DragonForce or Helloween. They may have some power metal influences or elements but that doesn't mean that they are a power metal band. If anyone is going to add power metal as a genre, you better cite a very reliable source, otherwise power metal will be removed. --Leon Sword 00:01, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey there, Leon Sword. While you are free to defend your point, editors are not supposed to make statements in the manner your are making yours. Please try to keep professional in order to avoid WP:LAME revert wars. --Sn0wflake 14:03, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Well I'm sorry if I offended someone. My intentions with that statement I made above were actually to prevent a WP:LAME revert war, that's why I made the point that if someone is going to add a genre which is disputed, that they cite a reliable source. I'm just following wiki guidelines, but if I came on too harsh I'm sorry about that. --Leon Sword 00:07, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, Metal Archives say they are power, but for all we know we can't trust metal archives. Compare Kalmah and Amon Amarth. Kalmah have more than just some power metal influences and are much more melodic than Amon Amarth. But still there are some simmilarities so i would say they are Symphonic Death/Power.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Beadrx (talk • contribs) 01:15, 29 April 2007 (UTC).

Not to mention power metal. Kalmah is nowhere nearly power. melodic death metal. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.112.15.197 (talk) 12:36, 30 April 2007 (UTC).

Of course they are power, or at least they have some power metal influences. As i said above: compare Amon Amarth and Kalmah.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Beadrx (talk • contribs) 11:41, 1 May 2007 (UTC).

You know Beadrx, even though I disagree with you about Kalmah being a true power metal band, I do agree with you that they have some power metal elements. I'm going to add a bit about the power metal elements in the musical style section, hopefully that will resolve this genre dispute. --Leon Sword 05:17, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Recent edit summary

Norther is not associated with Kalmah they may sound somewhat similar but no member from either band has ever played with one another. I added Catamenia because a member actually took part and that member is Timo Lehtinen. If associated acts are more current acts then we wont have Catamenia listed here, neither will Norther be listed. CircafuciX 21:05, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Associated acts

I want to add Catamenia as an associated act and I still don't understand why Norther is listed. Care to explain? If I don't get an answer, I will remove Norther and add Catamenia. --CircafuciX 04:14, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

And Norther is still in the infobox in associated artists-section. Is wikipedia really "forrest of trolls" (i mean trolling) or what keeps Nother in the associated artist?
