Children Of Bodom

[Mr. Squiggles]

Just listened to IYF, not quite sure what to think yet. Whoever said it sounds metalcorish, I'd be lying if I didn't agree with you somewhat. It definitely has a bit of that vibe. Also, the industrial elements were certainly there, as predicted. Not a bad tune at all, but certainly is another new sound for them.

Yeah, It's definaltly different. I like it though.

[dest. Chaos]

The intro sounds a bit metalcore. A lot of metalcore bands repeat 1 note like that.
1 tone repeat. hate me verse,kissing the shadows verse, and everytime I die intro which is played at some parts of the song....it's kinda like the main riff

[AA-12]

No no no no no no no....

I need to introduce you guys to actual metalcore. It's so far from Bodom it's not even funny.

[Mr. Squiggles]

No no no no no no no....

I need to introduce you guys to actual metalcore. It's so far from Bodom it's not even funny.

What is actual metalcore?

[Shattered_Future]

Killswitch Engage. (duh)

Or, almost anything off of Victory Records, if you want crappy generic metalcore.

[flamesofbodom]

KsE is awesome...But then there's Hawthorne Heights :(

[Huber]

KsE is awesome...But then there's Hawthorne Heights :(

That's a pitiful mainstream Emo band (Hawthorne Heights)

THere's the more popular Metalcore bands, but then there's some that kind of remain underground that maintain the backbone sound of Metalcore. KsE is barely metalcore. I'd put them under NWOAHM right now.

[AA-12]

Hawthorne Heights also isn't metalcore. I'll make a YSI/List of some of what I believe are the best metalcore bands.

[Shattered_Future]

The hell KsE isn't metalcore...

True, they are head and shoulders above the rest of the metalcore scene, and they have a vocalist who actually SINGS, you can't deny that they are metalcore. The chugging riff style is unmistakable.

And Hawthorne Heights isn't really emo either...i dunno what they are though. I just call them crap. :cool:

[Huber]

The End Of Heartache is borderline metalcore, and probably better put under NWOAHM. There s/t though is definetly metalcore.

[AA-12]

They aren't very metalcore, but they do have influence.

[naboo]

I didn't feel like looking through the thread to see if this has been mentioned but... Has anyone heard Bodom's cover of Oops I Did it Again? It's pretty.... bad, in my opinion. What does everyone else think?

Got a link to it?

[Huber]

I didn't expect it to be good...heh

I'd still like to hear it though.

[naboo]

Got a link to it?

No, but I'm going to go check out You Send It. Never used it before, so I'm not sure how long it's gonna take.

[Shattered_Future]

Make sure you make the link hxxp instead of http.

[JoshH]

so does anyone have toxic yet?

[Moses]

I'd rather hear Cryptopsy cover Oops I did it again.

[Huber]

I'd rather hear Cryptopsy cover Oops I did it again.

Me too. That'd be hilarious.

I'm just curious if CoB did anything to the song themselves. They couldn't have just gone, "Let's cover that song!" I have a feeling it was more like "Let's add [this and that] to that song and cover it!"

[naboo]

Actually, I was surprised. There wasn't too much added to it. There's a short solo though.

[naboo]

Alright, uploading is taking a bit longer than I expected. I have to go, so I'll post it later today or tomorrow.

[IheartSP]

thanks a lot

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Judging by the one new song I've heard, I'd say it sounds great. Almost every other person here would say the opposite.

Except me.

So far, not only does In Your Face not sound metalcore at all, but it also sounds nothing like HCDR. I think IYF is very melodic thanks to Janne. Hardly opposite of pro-melody.

quoted for agreement.

naboo: thanks tons! I was trying to get it, but failed miserably because the dude that was going to post it on the cobhc official board didn't. :angry:

[flamesofbodom]

I now like IYF. Cant wait to hear the cover, thanks naboo.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

I told you guys you have to listen to it a few times before you understand it's NOT METALCORE and Bodom is still there.

No offense, SP.

[IheartSP]

If it isn't Metalcore I won't settle for anything less than it's NWOAHM.

[flamesofbodom]

NWOAHM.

what does that stand for?

[IheartSP]

New Wave of American Heavy Metal, the difference is Bodom is from Finland, but the music sounds similar...

[flamesofbodom]

I knew that part.

Damn i need a Mastodon cd

EDIT: where did Sliptallica's post go :confused:

[Hells Bells]

heh, so we're still talking about IYF. I was disappointed by it, but meh. I'm sure the rest of the album will be better. It should be if it has more songs like TL&S :cool:

And naboo has CoB's cover of Oops? hehehe awesome, I can't wait to hear it.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

And naboo has CoB's cover of Oops? hehehe awesome, I can't wait to hear it.

I've actually heard that it wasn't too impressive. :upset:

[flamesofbodom]

I just want to hear him sing the chorus

[Taste_My_Scythe]

I just want to hear him sing the chorus

:lol: Definately. Also, they're supposed to be speaking in Suomi in one part of the song. That should be interesting. Has anyone ever listened all the way to the end of Hate Crew Deathroll (the song) and heard them talking (and making fun of, it sounds like) the one riff in Sixpounder? It's great. "Vitu" can clearly be heard several times.

[flamesofbodom]

I just have silence.......WTF?

[Shred Danson]

:lol: I want to hear this cover.

They always pick out the most out-of-the-ordinary songs to cover.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

I just have silence.......WTF?

:lol: Dude. Put the album on, turn the volume all the way up and listen hard. You can hear Alexi, Janne and I think Kippo talking. And making weird noises. When they all start doing the same noises, "da da da da DA!" and making it sound weird, they're talking about one riff on Sixpounder. :thumb: It's funny.

[flamesofbodom]

:lol: WTF...i just hear **** talk and there were three times where it sounded like someone's puking....why is he whistling? WTF is do dodo Do dodo dooooo dodo dodo!? Now it sounds like humming...im so ****in lost

[IheartSP]

I didn't know that was any more than just silence

[Taste_My_Scythe]

:lol: WTF...i just hear **** talk and there were three times where it sounded like someone's puking....why is he whistling? WTF is do dodo Do dodo dooooo dodo dodo!? Now it sounds like humming...im so ****in lost

No one is puking, they're still working at recording I think. Either that or just messing with each other. The humming you hear, do do do doooo! thing, is one of the riffs from Sixpounder! That's what I was talking about.

[flamesofbodom]

Oh....dammit i feel really stupid :upset:

[Taste_My_Scythe]

EDIT: go listen to sixpounder. If you've got the humming in your head, you'll hear it. It's the part after the second verse I think; when the guitars go up and up and up and UP (and hold), then go back to the second main riff.

EDIT2: Keep listening to Sixpounder and you'll find it. Ciao guys. :wave:

[AA-12]

Eh, I don't hear that part.

[Huber]

I knew that part.

Damn i need a Mastodon cd

Heh, I stealth deleted. My post was kinda random and pointless.

oops i did it again cover, I don't really like it but meh

[Huber]

Does that sound like Alexi to you guys? Some parts don't sound like him at all.

[Hells Bells]

That's because some parts aren't him, they put some of the britney's vocals in. lol no, I know you weren't talking about that :p I thought it sounded like him...I'd be able to recognize Alexi's vocals anywhere.

True, it wasn't that great, but it amused me just because it was bodom covering britney spears :lol:

[Huber]

Yeah, I don't think they cared if people liked it or not. Simply for humor.

[Hells Bells]

Exactly, it was all a big joke, I mean...come on, would they do a cover like that for any other reason? It's so full of randomness, the finnish talking, Alexi exaggerating everything completely...
I've gotta say though, Alexi's vocals sound much better than the original :p

[AA-12]

:lol: That's awesome.

[IheartSP]

that is funny as hell!

[Shattered_Future]

Brilliant song...cracked me up. :lol:

Scary thing is, though, the solo in that song was better than the one on the official single... :confused:

[IheartSP]

It's different on the single?

[Shadows]

He probably means the Britney Spears solo was better than the In your Face one.

I'm glad CoB has a sense of humor. :)

[Shattered_Future]

He probably means Britney Spears solo was better than the In your Face one.

:thumb:

You got it.

[IheartSP]

Oh you confused me, but yes I agree, this solo is better than IYF

[Shadows]

It has more substance. I thought Alexi's tone on the In Your Face solo sounded weak and didn't stand out against the rest of the band.

[Hells Bells]

Definitely agreed. But that's also very confusing...Alexi's an awesome guitarist with a great appreciation of music, I couldn't see him being happy with that song, especially the solo.

But that doesn't make any sense either. He has his punk side project Kylahullut to get all the punk out of his sytem, so he shouldn't have to bring it into CoB.

I never understood why all these metal guys loved to tell about how they love punk and punk is such a huge influence on their music. I hate punk. If I ever wrote punk-influenced music, I'd be too ashamed to tell anyone it was punk-influenced.

[Converge_Cult]

Alot of thrash bands where influenced by Minor Threat and Black Flag..alot of those bands in that era..punk is really good..does anyone know when Children of Bodom will be coming to Canada...like western canada..or if they have even been here

[Shadows]

They will probably hit Canada in November as part of the North American section of their world tour.

[Hells Bells]

I heard that he decribed the style of music CoB played as punk rock from hell.

But that doesn't make any sense either. He has his punk side project Kylahullut to get all the punk out of his sytem, so he shouldn't have to bring it into CoB.

Ha, yeah you'd think so. Maybe he's just experimementing with some of the stuff on this album by trying to mix punk with some of CoB's old style...although there isn't much of that in the song.

[Shadows]

I've heard Alexi refer to as CoB as black metal (it was way back in the day). I still don't think they have any punk in them.

[flamesofbodom]

I like some punk but....

This song is kickass :lol: I love it!

[IheartSP]

You can see hardcore punk influences on most of HCDR and on IYF (thus why I call it metalcore, hardcore punk + metal). Also the opening riff on The Nail is pretty punk. The lyrics on HCDR and judging from the songtitles of Are You Dead Yet? Are extremely punk influenced.

[Hells Bells]

I really don't listen to a lot of punk anymore, but I still don't mind it. Does anyone have anything by Kylahullut?

You're right IheartSP...I didn't even notice that about the nail. The intro does sound very punk.

[IheartSP]

I haven't heard Kylahullut and I'm not interested in a Finnish version of the Dropkick Murphies anyway, at least that's how I see it, drunken punk.

[Hells Bells]

Drunken punk? That's what you've heard it sounds like? I'm still interested in hearing it then :p That side project seems like something where Alexi can just goof off, CoB usually does serious music and he probably doesn't get a chance to vent.

[IheartSP]

Kylahullut means something abut drinking.

[EverytimeIBodom]

I haven't heard anything from Kylahullut, who has and what do you think of em?

[dest. Chaos]

btw... Britney Spears just covered that song too. the original is done by some 80's guy. At least that's what I have heard from some of my goth friends which are very reliable. btw one of the guys who said that are at Gates of Metal right now ... Bodom starts in 5 minutes

[Shadows]

We talked about that when the cover was first mentioned. It was originally done by some legendary musician - I can't remember who exactly. Britney covered it and managed to make it sound like trashy pop for slutty teenage girls.

I don't actually like the sound of the song (like I'm sure most of us don't), but instead I liked it because it was a funny thing for Bodom to do.

I've always thought it would be weird to do a brutal death metal cover of Piano Man. Same idea, but CoB did it first.

The only guy quoted in the liners as a songwriter is Max Martin, who's been Britney's producer since she first appeared, so I doubt that. Either that or Max Martin did it originally, in which case, I never knew he had a career in front of the boards too.

Yes I have the album

Anyway, I came in hear to ask - did they cover She is Beautiful by Andrew WK too? My friend just sent me it, I'm just checking it's not a mislabelled mp3.

People like Britney Spears and other pop people don't say if it's a cover ... they are soo low...It's all about money and fame. muahaha sry for triple post but i don't know how to put more than one quote in a post :confused: , if some one just tell me how to do it I can edit. yes they covered She is Beautiful

and I know more examples of pop people using other people's material without quoting the original writer....

[Shadows]

Wow, I just discovered that Oops I Did It Again was a cover of a Louis Armstrong song. I am severely confused because that doesn't seem like something he'd sing, or Britney Spears cover. The lyrics are like gay 21st century pop, why would Louis Armstrong have written them in like the 60s?
http://www.supermasterpiece.com/music/oops.html

Alright Iai, this should clear it up. Britney covered Louis Armstrong, and here's a link to back it up.

[Shadows]

Well, I can see hwew he was coming from. If the song had some other guy listed as the writer, than it would make perfect sense for him to think it was original. Actually, if some other guy was credited with writing it, then it may actually be illegal...so I think we all had our legitimate motives. :)

And it showed up? The mods said the search got corrupted after the database crash.
Yeah, it worked. It was discussed sometime after the crash so I think that may have something to do with it. I had to strip down the search querry for it to work, but it gave me exactly what I was looking for.

[Iai]

Yeah, the explanation that it's too old is pretty much spot on. Especially in the case of an artists with such a huge body of work as Louis Armstrong - the copyrighters probably wouldn't have brothered with the more obscure stuff, leaving in the public domain. That technically makes not listing Armstrong as legal, though immoral.

The fact that somebody quoted it as an 80s original is pretty off - Armstrong had been dead for 9 years by that point. :lol:

edit: he seems to be very quiet now...
I was on the phone to my girlfriend, if you must now.

[Shadows]

I suppose since the song is so old and Armstrong has been dead for a while, the copyright laws don't restrict against using it. It's still not cool for them to take the credit though.
I was on the phone to my girlfriend, if you must now.
I wish I had one of those.

I don't see why not, they use all sorts of different ideas. If you look at Alexi's influences you'll see it's pretty varied and he writes music in a very original way.

[IheartSP]

I am not a fan of punk either. It's very unmusical and they all seem to try to hard to be rebellious. Unfortunately on HCDR and most likely AYDY Bodom's lyrics are extremely punk based, it kind of bothers me. Although, their lyrics before were terrible too, but at least back then it was harder to understand them.

Ha, yeah I thought so for a while too...and a lot of it is, but you can't expect punk to be complex, it's meant to be simple and driff driven. When punk started, I think the part of idea was to rebel against the image, what they saw as commercialization, and the high technical standards of rock, and give people who didn't have access to the resources needed to become successful a way to express themselves and get their message across..which usually a social or political one.

Turns out where i ordered my first Nightwish sweatshirt from, it was discontinued...which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Now, i ordered one from the OFFICIAL Nightwish store, and i have 60 bucks good towards this other retailer.

I'm gonna get Angels Fall First and the From Wishes To Eternity DVD, both of which i can't find anywhere...AND IT COMES OUT TO THE SAME PRICE! :D

I watched Scary Movie 2 also, haha. I wanted to stay up for Clerks but I needed sleep. That entire series of movies is hilarious.

[IheartSP]

Clerks is so funny. I watch it like once a month. It's hilarious the way the dialogue is set up in the movie. It's like they talk all immature like teenagers or something with all the swears, but its so unrealistic how every conversation they have is extremely philosophical, and it turns out to be a really funny mix. It's like a bunch of teenage genius in 1 room.

I never liked beer, but it's the most metal beverage in the world. I like Bacardi - it's kind of a woman's drink, but it tastes like Sprite Remix.

I may not be of age, but I love beer/other alcoholic beverages. I may actually be drinking in about an hour.

The OIDIA cover is really addictive. I've listened to it like 10 times today.

I hate the taste of alcohol but my god do I love getting drunk.

A bottle of bud is my drink of choice.

I've only had three sips of alcohol at a party. I stole the parent's bottle and put it in my coke. I would have put more, but I couldn't trust the girls who were watching the door for me.

[IheartSP]

I threw an end of school party this year. Our grade had never had any real parties and my mom is cool so I figured what the hell. I got a few cases of beer and about 50 people showed up, a lot of them I didn't even know. It was real cool, everyone was smashed and it was just loads of fun.

Though, thanks to my idea, everyone was drinking, only one person got drunk at the party i went to, and he wasn't drunk in a fun way. He was on the floor trying not to throw up until his cousin brought him home.

Hi, just wanted to let you know im a big fan of CoB.

my fav is Follow the Reaper, but Hate Crew Deathroll is growing on me. Hatebreeder might be abit overated .....

Hatebreeder is definately my favorite album, and I think it gets very overshadowed by FTR.

[The Flabbit Rides High]

I dont know really, its just a thought that entered my mind when i listened to it the other day. Its good and everything, and the leads in SIlent Night are great, but its sounds just very rough compared to the polished tones of FTR.

I dunno. maybe im completly wrong. LOL ;p

Getting my C.O.B tix today for the aussie show on Oct 4

hey guys, i was just wondering what song alexi and roope are playing in demonstration 2 of passage to the reaper?

[Shadows]

You mean the metal song? I'm not sure, but I've been told it's a Sinergy song.

ive been told its a sinergy song too.
p.s, im talking about the instructional video

I dont like Alexi's voice so much in Hate Crew Deathroll. But Follow the Reaper is amazing. I like Northern Comfort and Taste of My Scythe.

haha so, what did you think of it? And about how the new album's going to turn out?

Half of it I liked (the heavy groove parts), half of it I disliked (everything else).

And I'm not sure how the new album will turn out. They don't sound like they used to, that's for sure.

[IheartSP]

Yeah there are the people here who are not too fond of the new album (with me on the extreme of that) and people here who think it's great (shadowsfallen on the extreme of that)

[COBskater666]

i'm not to fond of it

[flamesofbodom]

I love it now. I cant wait to buy the album

[FlyingPaul_83]

Is Hatebreeder good?

I've been thinking about getting this album. So, should I?

[COBskater666]

do u have follow the reaper

[IheartSP]

I personally think Hatebreeder is the best album by a decent margin, but many will argue Follow The Reaper is better. As a huge powermetal fan it makes sense I like Hatebreeder more, It's a much more powermetalish album.

[COBskater666]

yea it is i jus like the sound and songs on follow the reaper

[flamesofbodom]

I honestly cant decide btwn the two. I love all the tracks on both.

[IheartSP]

I can't peticularly say I love all the tracks on FTR. Everytime I Die, Mask of Sanity, and Bodom After Midnight are all just ok to me. Hatebreeder on the other hand has no track I can't say I adore.

[flamesofbodom]

Bodom After Midnight is my favorite song by Bodom...So is Bed Of Razors....

[IheartSP]

Bed Of Razors has potential but I really wish it had a shred solo. I love the use of octaves those during that sweet lead, it was my inspiration to the lead in 1 of my songs you might have noticed.

Bodom After Midnight is ok, I don't see anything special about it.

[FlyingPaul_83]

alright I'll get it :thumb:

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Hey guys. Giant megapost; I’ve missed a lot.

What's wrong with liking punk? :confused: I myself love a lot of punk.

Same here; got my roots in punk. \m/

It has more substance. I thought Alexi's tone on the In Your Face solo sounded weak and didn't stand out against the rest of the band.

Agreed, I didn’t like the vocals either. Though, that was the only part of the song that I didn’t enjoy. I thought the solo was a little weak too.

That's because some parts aren't him, they put some of the britney's vocals in. lol no, I know you weren't talking about that :p I thought it sounded like him...I'd be able to recognize Alexi's vocals anywhere.


They aren’t Britney’s vocals, it’s a female (Jonna Kosonen) who used to be part of a Finnish pop duo called Nylon Beat.


Wow, I just discovered that Oops I Did It Again was a cover of a Louis Armstrong song. I am severely confused because that doesn't seem like something he'd sing, or Britney Spears cover. The lyrics are like gay 21st century pop, why would Louis Armstrong have written them in like the 60s?

Yeah, it’s pretty sad. I remember when Jessica Simpson was just being discovered, and everyone thought her song was so unbelievably catchy and hip and new. Turns out the entire song – with the exception of her vocals and “lyrics” – was a ripoff of the song Jack and Diane.

Refused - New Noise
AFI - Silver and Cold


Aw, this song is so not the best! Bleed Black, The Nephilim, The Despair Factor or Paper Airplanes (Makeshift Wings).


For some reason, I always hated punk in all shapes and forms. The music always appeared so simple and so meaningless.

I disagree, I don’t think punk is meaningless. Most of the really good punk, especially the older stuff is about being political and active for what you believe in and if I might be so bold as to say… “stickin’ it to the man”.

This place is dead and the Hatecrew forum is dead...

Hatebreeder is a masterpiece, but Follow the Reaper is a masterpiece in deathy-melodicness.

I love the song. Anyone who doesn't is doomed to Poison albums for the rest of their life. :evil:

Hatebreeder: Warheart, Bed of Razors, Hatebreeder, Silent Night Bodom Night, Towards Dead End

:lol: Having a good day, are we?

Pretty much agree with all of yours. I feel like we should have a potato-chip-Lay's-like slogan for Children of Bodom's songs. "How can you pick just five?"

[COBskater666]

[Shadows]

:lol: Having a good day, are we?

Pretty much agree with all of yours. I feel like we should have a potato-chip-Lay's-like slogan for Children of Bodom's songs. "How can you pick just five?"
Why do you ask if I'm having a good day? I just got back from buying a few CDs plus a mic for my computer, so I can now record music onto my CPU. I am in a pretty good mood. :)

I agree that it's so hard to pick just five. I love every song off of every album they've ever put out, so it's quite a challenge.

[COBskater666]

how much do those mics cost?

[Shattered_Future]

Hmmmm...top 5:

5. Touch Like Angel Of Death
4. Warheart
3. Bodom After Midnight
2. Chokehold (yada yada yada...don't feel like typing the rest :D )
AAAAANNND 1. KISSING THE SHADOWS!

[CaptainWaits]

2. Chokehold (yada yada yada...don't feel like !

:confused: You typed more there than the actual song name :p

I'll do the other two albums while Im at it:

Something Wild: Deadnight Warrior, Red Light In My Eyes Pt.1, Red Light In My Eyes Pt.2, Lake Bodom, Touch Like Angel of Death......heh, all but two

Hate Crew Deathroll: Needled 24/7, Chokehold [CockedNLoaded], Bodom Beach Terror, Angels Don't Kill, Hate Crew Deathroll

[IheartSP]

Yes I agree with Leah, you can't pick just five. Also I like some better when I'm in certain moods.

After listening to Arch Enemy enough, I have concluded in no way can In Flames be called Melodeath. Arch Enemy is Melodeath, they are death metal, they are melodic. In Flames is just melodic, besides the vocals, which are actually quite weak, they have nothing death about them. Arch Enemy has many "Deathy" parts in their songs. In Flames is just heavy and extremely melodic, I don't really know what to call them.

[Hells Bells]

Good choice for #1 Shattered Future ;)

1. take a guess....
2. Follow the Reaper
3. Hatebreeder
4. Needled 24/7
5. Bed of Razors

And that list, other than the first song, is completely arbitrary, since we had to choose 5 :p

[IheartSP]

Kissing the Shadows if my favorite song too. I think there is no questions asked when it comes to that being their best song. It completely destroys everything else they have in terms of melody, riffs, solos, keyboard, and drums.

[Shadows]

Dimmu Borgir - Stormblown

- All Light Has Faded (away)
- The Ring of the Brotherhood
- When the Soul is Brought to Hell
- The Chamber of Sorrow
- When the Christian Lost His Life
- Stormblown
- Journey of Death
- Antichrist
- Winds From a Lonely Tomb
- God's Surrender - Revelation of Doomsday

[Hells Bells]

Yeah, I always wondered why they were called melodic death metal. Other than harsh vocals, I couldn't see any other characteristics :confused:

[COBskater666]

everytime i die is my favorite

[GaggingOrder]

Kissing the Shadows if my favorite song too. I think there is no questions asked when it comes to that being their best song. It completely destroys everything else they have in terms of melody, riffs, solos, keyboard, and drums.
5. Bodom After Midnight
4. Children Of Decadence
3. Red Light In My Eyes Part 1
2. Kissing The Shadows
1. Northern Comfort.

Something like that. I'm not good at ranking things in comparison to other things.

[Shadows]

I always wondered how they managed to make Kissing the Shadows so popular. That song was composed and recorded right nit he studio. They tried to hurry up and write a new song for FtR because they thought the album was too short. Now it's widely considered their best song ever. :lol:

/loves KtS

[IheartSP]

Well they really pulled that one out of their *** now didn't they? I spend like an average of 8 hours on each one my songs just writing the guitar parts, and they don't turn out nearly as good as Kissing the Shadows.

[GaggingOrder]

I never write songs, because I'm always positive that they will suck, even before I come up with them.

[Shadows]

I never write songs, because I'm always positive that they will suck, even before I come up with them.
That's not a good thing to think. Writing and performing your own music is so much more of a thrill than just listening or covering other bands. You should give it a try and see what you come up with.

[CaptainWaits]

heh, well I geuss I'll continue to do what everyone else has been doing. I've put my top 5 for all 4 albums, now I'll do a top 5 overall:

5. Angels Don't Kill
4. Lake Bodom
3. Children of Bodom
2. Mask of Sanity
1. Hate Me!

[Shattered_Future]

I wrote 2 or 3 songs...recorded one of them, just guitar. :p And bass...no drum or keyboard parts yet.

Now, I have writer's block. :upset:

[AA-12]

Ah, guys. In Flames was one of the founding bands of the whole gothenburg sound in melodic death metal. I don't think anyone comes closer to gotherburg than them, maybe Dark Tranquility. Arch Enemy? Gothenburg? No way. Also to the death metal thing, listen to their old music, it was definitely death.

About the HB vs. FTR thing, I like HB more. FTR was made so good because of the people who produced it. I'd confidently say that it has the best production of any metal album ever made.

[Shattered_Future]

Arch Enemy doesn't have the Gothenburg sound, no...there's no denying they're melodic death though.

[Shadows]

I think newer Arch Enemy is somewhat Gothenburg. I was listening to Doomsady Machine and Black Earth yesterday. Both have riffs in them that sound exactly like something In Flames would do.
