Children Of Bodom
Biography
The black metal outfit Children of Bodom formed in Espoo, Finland in 1993; named in reference to one of the most notorious mass-murders in Scandinavian history, the group was originally founded by singer/guitarist Alexi Laiho and drummer Jaska Raatikainen, with subsequent roster additions including guitarist Alexander 'Ale' Kuoppala, bassist Henkka Blacksmith and keyboardist Janne Wirman. Children of Bodom's debut LP, Something Wild, was released in the U.S. in 1998; Hatebreeder followed a year later and Follow the Reaper appeared in early 2001. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Children of Bodom are somekind of alien,i like the voice,the melody,the beat and most of all his unearth speed awesome f**king licks...
|
||
I was at that show too f**king awesome show Megadeth and Children Of Bodom were the best. when Children played Jump it was priceless
|
||
I bought Blooddrunk the first day it came out.
Saw them live with Megadeth, In Flames, JFaC, and High on Fire. They played Michael Jackson, in addition to their regular set. People went nuts. When Megadeth came back on to do their encore, Alexi came on and sung with Dave. Best. Concert. Ever! P.S. I would trade my car for the awesomeness that is Warman's keyboard... |

Pandora got Blooddrunk pretty fast. I had bought it already though, and it's good but I don't care for it as much as Are You Dead Yet? and Follow the Reaper.
|
||
Awesome band no matter what subgenre you classify them as. If you want peace prepare for war is one of my fav's by these guys.
|
||
no one can touch this band
wirman on keys and alexi on guitars nothing more to say |
||
this band is the s**t... also check out Rammstein, OTEP, and Finntroll
|
||
For all you genre-whores ; imho CoB is melodic death with elements of thrash/speed / p o w e r metal. There you go XD
|
||
I love this band, been a fan for years, and the guy(s) who wright these reviews on all the bands really don't know what the hell they are talking about. Black, death, power, who gives a sh*t, just shut up an enjoy the pure talent that is COB!
|

I disagree, cursing, especially in metal is not unessissaril y explicit. cursing is used to display an extreamly emotional disposition to the topic or at the least to get an emtotion responce from the listeners.
|
||
I like the music but I find the explicit lyrics unnecessary. Metal isn't about cursing. Leave that to hip hop or Korn..
|
||
are you f**kin kiddin me? black metal????? bodom are (were) power/speed metal with harsh vocals. at the very least they could be considered vaguely death metal, but even thats a stretch. i could write a review/descr i p t i o n a million times better than this one
|
||
Children of Bodom the best black metal band i have heard as of now. they influence me more and more every time i hear them. as far as kevin street goes if you can call a band lame for exploring there own talent and style then i would have to say your lame yourself.
|
||
this is the only time ill write... shut up sir dylan... "nobody is like them because they have there own ind. style"
|
||
THe Children are amazing because of their ability to pull of basically anytype of metal that they want. In otherwords, nobody is like them, because they have their own individual style. I will not be suprised at all if they become one of the biggest influences of future metal bands.
PS Wildchild and Ale are one of the best combinations of guitarists in the past ten or twenty years. |
||
THESE GUYS ARE NOOOOOTTTTT LAME!
and yes, some (most) of their works sound like melodic death metal, but a lot of their early works sound a lot like power metal (lake bodom, bodom after midnight) anywho, THESE GUYS KICK A**! |
||
WHO ARE THESE GUYS SUPPOSED TO BE? they sound like black metal in one song,and then something totally different in another. That's pretty lame!!!!!!!
|
||
theyre hilarious live, they had like a 20 minute jam session and Alexi just playd crazy solo on top of crazy keyboard in the back and ended it with the britney spears cover
|
||
these guys aren't black metal...
there melodic death metal, NOT black metal... thought i'd clear that up... |
||
wow they are f**kin awsome perfect friday party music theres going to be some broken glass tonight at my house the living room is my boys pitt the sinthizing and gutiar go so perfect together
