If you are looking for some new decent Melo Death, I would recommend Dark Tranquillity over Kalmah, but if you can't get enough of that genre, you should grab this release, too.
Don't expect much of a change on the standard song formula, so if you are in common with this band, you'll either like it or find it a bit boring.

New DT is finally leaked! One day before store date (swedish pre-orders came yesterday, I wonder why no one from the scene took their chances..) by FKK.

Burzum-Belus-2LP-2010-BERC
New Burzum out thanks to Berc, who else? ;) Great pre-store release. Hits the stores in some weeks! Burzum aka Varg Vikernes is quite a big name in the black metal scene, though more based on his evil bad (and stupid) doings. I heard they are doing a movie about him this year called 'Lords of chaos'. They actually want to put Jackson Rathbone, known from the shitty twilight movies, in the role of Varg, lol. Decide for yourself if this is a listenable record ;)
