This band has an obsession with swamps. And with good music. This, "They Will Return" and "Swamplord" sound very alike and they are one of my favorites melodic death metal albums.

Everything is well merged on this album. You'll never grow tired of listening to it, from the beginning until the end.

It doesn't quite hit the masterpiece mark, but Swampsong's flow and energy give it a familiar yet different style that's tough to resist.

There was something unsettling about this release: be it the fact that the band's sound naturally had to change a bit becoming a realization, or just that Kalmah wasn't sounding as sweet as they once had. With their first two releases, I was nothing but impressed, with They Will Return becoming one of my favourite melodic death metal releases. However, with Swampsong, there seems to be so much energy missing from the disc. Maybe its just the reality of the bands material becoming more stale with the output of three discs in four years. This isn't to say this disc is all bad, as there are still some gems hidden along the bumpy road. Upon the first listen or two this album is pretty entertaining, but after listening to this band for a few years and getting to know their releases better, this one just comes up flat. A little more than disappointing given the first two discs, but there is definitely still promise in the band's music.
