| Children of Bodom - Hatebreeder Band: Children of Bodom Tracks: - Warheart - Silent Night, Bodom Night - Hatebreeder - Bed of Razors - Towards Dead End - Black Widow - Wrath Within - Children of Bodom - Downfall Oh my god Deffinately a must own for any fan of melodic death/thrash/speed metal with a classical influence. After putting this cd in my cd player, I cant take it out. CoB are all teenagers, but the music they produce is purely unbelievable. Lead guitarist/vocalist pulls off riffs and solos that would make any proffesional jelous and he is 19 for god's sake. Keyboards fit in very nicely as well and the Double bass drumming sound like machine guns are going off through out all of the songs. Deffinately a classical influence there as well and you will know what I mean when you hear the guitar solos. Note that the vocals are Death metal vocals, and there are no clean vocals here what so ever. The Faint of Heart need not apply but a deffinate must own for any metal fan who enjoys that extra heavy push that just makes you want to mosh and bang your head non-stop. If you Love In Flames and other melodic Death metal bands you will Love Children of Bodom as well. Do yourself a favor and get this album now, while you are at it, check out CoB's first album(Something Wild) also a great masterpiece. Marvellous Metal This latest work of the Finnish combo Children of Bodom is absolutely a masterpiece. In comparing with their debut Something Wild, Hatebreeder is more melodic, faster, more technical, 'happier' and with a better production. The metal style of COB is a mixture of speed, death, Black (vocals are death/black) and full of synths and fitting guitar solo's. COB is influenced by classical music - Beethoven, Bach - and the music of Yngwie Malmsteen. Actually, it is rather hard to put COB in a certain genre, since their sound is absolutely distinguising and new. This entire album is of outstanding quality, all the 9 songs, while I mostly consider a few tracks of an album real outstanding. Anyway, what you can expect of this CD is fast, technical and energetic metal! Perhaps the best metal CD in my collection. Bach on speed Children of Bodom manage to make baroque music fun and headbang-able. I do not find any particular Iron Maiden influence, actually; I think they differ from other Nordic melodic Extreme metal bands (In Flames, Dark Tranquillity) in that respect. This is pure fast, cerebral baroque music set to heavy metal instrumentation and harsh, wild vocals. The music is reasonably complex, but more in the harmonic sense than in the rhythmic department. What can be said is that it has an inimitable sense of melody. You will find yourself involved in this music straightaway, and it is impossible to divert one's attention wholly until the album has run its course. It is "catchy" and "entertaining," yes, but this is intelligent entertainment (whatever the silly title of the CD). Your mind (and body) will respond to its compelling intricacies. The only complaint I have about this CD is that it is too short, clocking in at under 40 minutes. A few more molten tracks of "death classical" (as I like to Call it) genius and this could compete with Nevermore's "Dreaming Neon Black" for album of 1999.
