Thanks to DarkSlaya, I've gotten my hands on 2 of their songs. Everytime I Die, and Bodom after Midnight, both from their Follow the Reaper album.

Honestly, I've never cared for death styled vocals, but their music is so good I'm not complaining about it at all, and the vocals are done nicely with style, unlike other Death Metal bands where they scream through the entire song with no melody. I think I listened to Bodom after Midnight more than 10 times yesterday.

So today I looked them up at metalstorm.ee, checked out their ratings and reviews on Follow the Reaper and I've never really seen so many praise an album like that there before.

So, I take it they're really good? Hopefully I can get my hands on that album somehow ...

Bodom after Midnight makes me want to play Serious Sam on Hard.

Children of Bodom fucking own. I saw them in concert last year and it was still the best performance I've ever seen. They don't need a bunch of stage props to fucking rock out.

Follow the Reaper is actually one of their lesser awesome albums I think. Go for Hatebreeder, their self titled album, and Hate Crew Deathtoll. Even the album they put out as Inearthed (pre COB) was great.

Bed of Razors is STILL my favorite song by them.

Listening to: "Angels Don't Kill" from Hate Crew Deathroll. I thought it was good, but it's fucking great.

I must get some DVDs of them. I only have 3-4 VCDs.


Edit: And I absolutly like Red Light In My Eyes, Part 1 and 2.

I don't like them all too much. Hatebreeder is a pretty rad album, though. If you're going to get a COB album, I'd suggest that one.

I just really dig their guitar style throughout the songs, and solo's. Very Power Metal-ish, and reminds me of Megaman.

Are most of their songs that style?

Or, have any other band suggestions that I may like similar to them?

Not saying I don't like COB, I just really dig their style, and I'm sure there's more bands out there like them (maybe without the death metal styled vocals? )

I've only heard Hatebreeder (the track, not the album), and I have to say I really like it... although the vocals make me laugh, the music is awesome.

Yeah, I like the music, but I don't like when the singer vomits

Zeogred, have you tried listening to Arch Enemy yet? Another badass band.

Arch-Enemy are meh.
Children of Bodom have 1 good album (Hate Breeder) and one awesome cover (She is Beautiful by Andrew W.K.). Their punk-side project is freakin' awesome though.

If you're looking for this sort of music, check out Falconer or Gandalf. Even Taake has some good sounding tunes in this vein. Oh, and of course, Amon Amarth!

If you don't listen to Amon Amarth, you're a pussy.

I like how you say AE are meh but then go on to praise Gandalf.

That's like saying "I don't like salmon but dogshit tastes great!"

No, it's like saying dogshit tastes like dogshit and I don't like it.

Carnivorous Jesus was crap, and you know it. And I didn't say Gandalf was good, but they're certainly better than that.
