OK, the Official thread for Keep Of Kalessin.
I have seen them live twice and they really kick arse.
they're new album "Armada" is great. technical guitars and the vocals are amazing (IMO).
what do you people think about them?

I'd say it was one of the best metal albums of 2006.

hi there! i noticed an interesting thing on band's homepage: as you (should) know they were filming video for the song "Into the fire", but they weren't pleased with what came out, so half-finished video was promised (by director) never to be aired. But director broke the promise and video was played on one or two norwegian tv channels. Obsidian was pissed off, because he believs the video just so lame that no fan should see it.
Well here's my question: have anyone see the video? is it really that bad ?? Can it be seen anywhere now ?

You can see the video on YouTube.
And i think that it doesn't look so bad at all. Well it is quite simple, but i wouldn't say that it's lame.

This band is pretty decent, not to mention above average, but yet somewhat boring. I can't just sit around listening to these guys without trying to unbore my mind from the music. Point is, I like it, but it's boring as shit.

I watched the new video too and I can see Obsidians frustration towards it. The effects and all were good, but overall it was quite boring and bland.

"Armada" is a pretty impressive effort, after Dark Fortress' "Séance" it's definetly the 2nd best Black Metal album of the year.

A friend of mine saw them at Inferno and is in love with them. The few songs I've heard were really cool, so I'll definitely be picking up 'Armada' when I get the money.

Picked up the Armada after hearing a track or two and the cd kicks fucking ass. Intense speed on guitar and drums and I like the way it's sung although part of "The Black Uncharted seems to me a bit too light about into the middle of the song it get's a bit too melodic as far as the vocals go(If that makes any sense at all) but is followed by some brutal BM vocals. I give the cd a 9 out of 10. An album any BMer should not pass up this album is a gem.

Hails to Obsiden C and to all of Keep Of Kalessin

indeed... not the best two (that honout belongs to Wolves In The Throne Room and Bloodthorn), but both are awesome black metal...

Personally, I find Armada a superlative albun for the context of a "just" good act like Keep Of Kalessin

How do you guys like their previous album, Agnen? I haven't heard it, but if I find it somewhere I'll most likely buy it.

I bought it last week. It's my pick for album of the year (tied with the new BG).

Norwegian black metallers Keep Of Kalessin performed live in Paris, France on September 26th at Locomotive. A video of the band performing the track 'Come Damnation' (from their 2003 Reclaim EP) can be viewed here.

So I just heard Keep Of Kalessin for the first time a few minutes ago....wow, its a hybrid of so many great sounds, Belphegor 1349, Marduk and even a little bit of Opeth. Very unique, im definitly going to get 'Armada' for me its tied with Belphegors 'Pestapokalypse VI' for the black metal album of 2006.

Are you reffering to the one for 'into the fire'?, cus i watched that for the first time when I was on some illegal vision warping intoxicants and it was the most intense video id ever seen in all its simplicity.

Bought 'Through Times of War' on the weekend - LOVE it, fuck I can't get enough of this band. Less clear and brutal, but still very fast and atmospheric and dark.

I still find 'into the fire' an odd choice for the video, its a good song, but its far from the best song on the album.

The one thing I just noticed about Keep Of Kalessin that made me happy is how they seemed to take the the metalstorm awards somewhat seriously. On there website and myspace page I saw adds for 'Vote for KoK in the metalstorm awards', which I havnt seen on any other nominees websites or anything.

I like KoK a lot, even through all the changes. My favorite is Reclaim because of the presence of Attila Csihar... but all their stuff is classy, top notch BM.

Very good band, also virtually note perfect live. Only thing I can say is that after meeting them after the gig, Obsidian was a bit of a twat compared to the rest of the band who were really down to earth and nice people. He even refused to be in a photo the bastard.

Still great band nonetheless.
