"The Black Waltz" [ [http://www.kalmah.com/discography.html Kalmah.com Discography] ] is the fourth full-length studio album by the Finnish melodic death metal band Kalmah and their first with keyboard player Marco Sneck. This CD finds them gravitating more towards thrash, which have often been cited as the Kokko brothers' primary musical influence. The vocals have changed to lower death vocals, compared to their higher pitched growls used in previous albums.

The instrumental "Svieri Doroga" is a combination of the name of their first demo "Svieri Obraza" and a track on that demo entitled, "Vezi Doroga".

A video for the song "The Groan of Wind" [ [http://www.metalfromfinland.com/Kalmah/videos#77 Metal From Finland - The Groan of Wind] ] was shot, it featured the band members playing inside a cave, with alternating shots of a young boy being haunted by an old man (whose picture was on the cover of the album).

The album ranked in the top three Melo-Death/Gothenburg albums of 2006 and at number 9 on the Top 20 albums of the same year on [http://www.metalstorm.ee/bands/album.php?album_id=3333&band_id=135&bandname=Kalmah Metal Storm] . The album peaked at number 48 on the national Finnish album charts. [ [http://www.rockdetector.com/officialbio,21241.sm Rockdetector Kalmah Detailed Biography] ]
