Children of Bodom - Rebel Yell (http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=29I58P6WGE6420F8T6W0MID4AF)

I think it's a great cover

I think it's a great cover
Unusual. Bodom usually sucks at covers.

[IheartSP]

I think Silent Scream was a good cover, but Don't Stop At the Top and Hellion were both pretty bad. Aces High was terrible except the remade solos which were exceptionally great I think.

[Shadows]

That's how I feel. Silent Scream was the only respectable cover.

[leomondaine]

that's awesome that you were able to record those solos and do a decent job with them lemondaine, but do you think you'd be able to post them, minus the keys?

nah i couldnt man im sorry, if i did there would also be no drums and bass

[AA-12]

That's how I feel. Silent Scream was the only respectable cover.
I personally think all of their covers are excellent :-\

[IheartSP]

Off the topic of Bodom but, I just Sign of the Cross by Iron Maiden. I have the Rock in Rio DVD where they do it live and it is amazing, but on the studio album Blaze Bayley is the singer and I had never heard him before, he is horrendus! It's like a really really stale Bruce Dickinson.

I think it's a great cover


yeah, it is a great cover. they throw in their own style, but they keep the sound the song was originally supposed to have.

[Shadows]

Children of Bodom doesn't have a DVD in the works do they? The closest they've come is TL&S, but I can't get that.

[flamesofbodom]

Alright, Something Wild is on the way everyone.

[Shadows]

In all actuality...

Taken from Scythes of Bodom...
"Now the surprise track of the upcoming single "In Your Face" has been revealed. It will be a cover of the Britney Spears song "Oops I Did It Again".

A total of two cover songs were recorded during the "Are You Dead Yet?" session. The second cover song will be used as bonus track for the Japanese version of the album.

In other news a live DVD of the Wacken festival in 2004 will be released next Monday. Children Of Bodom will be featured on it with the live version of their song, Sixpounder, which was already shown on German TV in 2004.

Next Saturday the band will play a secret gig in Berlin, Germany. Only chosen persons will have entrance to the concert.

On September 9th Children Of Bodom will play a gig in Québec, Canada with Trivium and Amon Amarth."

Is this true? Bodom is covering Britney Spears for the In Your Face single? Bizarre...

[GaggingOrder]

It's not that surprising.

They ought to cover Take It As It Comes by The DOors, if you ask me.

[flamesofbodom]

Completely speechless............ :confused:


Anyway here it is

Children of Bodom - Something Wild (http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=01FISTKOBERO72ZO6H5904Y5HC)

It includes the original 7 songs plus two covers:
Silent Scream - Slayer
Don't Stop At The Top - Scorpions

Enjoy :chug:

What?!? CoB?? Brittany Spears??? :lol:
This is too funny...
It was probably Janne's suggestion. On Scythes of Bodom it said that one of the songs he enjoys playing is Oops, and that it's not really the song he likes....it's Brittany. But now they're actually going to cover it?

CoB never ceases to shock me.

[AA-12]

:lol: I can't wait to hear that.

[MAthiAS]

Well, Gav's cover of Toxic came out really cool, maybe this will too.

[Shadows]

This will be amusing to say the least.

But in a more badass note, I just got a copy of Tokyo Warhearts in the mail. :cool:

EDIT: It's kind of weird though...in the booklet, Janne has REALLY short hair and Jaska'a hair is braided. :confused:

It might have been one of their earlier pics, like from when the band was just formed. When Janne first joined he had really short hair :p

Haha, braided? That must looks weird on him.

That was one of the best covers i've ever heard.

[Shadows]

Haha, braided? That must looks weird on him.
He looks very Scandinavian. Like something out of an Amon Amarth video.

[IheartSP]

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?

That's got to be wrong. Where did you find this at?

[Huber]

She may have changed the lyrics to suit a pop song or something.

Weiner! I should hope so!

YOUR WELCOME

YOUR WELCOME
Thank you. Even though I already have the album, your warmth and consideration has made our time spent in this thread better with each visit you grant us. I, on behalf of all CoB thread regulars, am in your debt.

[flamesofbodom]

Thanks but i thought a bunch of people wanted it

[Shadows]

Thanks but i thought a bunch of people wanted it
From what I could tell, only one person was waiting for it...and I haven't seen him around here for several days.

[mattmackenzie]

****...i love all cob....but i would have to say needled 24/7 or trashed lost and strungout for sure!

[mattmackenzie]

oh by the way.. alexi lahio kicks ***!

[IheartSP]

Hey noobie welcome to the forums, nice to have some new Bodom fans around

Have you heard anything before the Hate Crew Deathroll era? Usually I never see anyone pick those things as their favorite songs so I figure you haven't heard the really good stuff.

[Shadows]

Usually I never see anyone pick those things as their favorite songs
You rarely see anyone put old Bodom for their favorite songs!? Haven't you ever seen me list my favorite songs!!?? Something Wild = my favorite Bodom album alongside Follow the Reaper!!!

But it's nice to see new Bodom fans around here. Let's all crowd around him until we have forced him into a CoB expert.

[AA-12]

There are still great songs in that era though.

I just got done laying down vocals for the band i'm in. I'll post the song here later if you all want. You might not like it if you don't like grind though.

[IheartSP]

I meant, I never see anyone pick HCDR and after as favorites

[Shadows]

Understood. My apologies.

Oh yeah..me = big grind fan.

[AA-12]

You'll love it if you like early Carcass like grind.

You have to man, haha. It's by far the best grind. I can upload some stuff sometime.

[IheartSP]

I'm not a grind fan, I don't like the values its based on. Grind is basically just like, make the worst noise possible, or at least thats how I see it, and that's just not music to me.

[Shadows]

You don't have to upload anything for me. I can save you the trouble and download it since I'm in a slulseek mood right now.

But what album would you recommend?

SoulSeek? Add me to your list. TSASI

I have a lot of albums, you can just get them from me. I'd suggest Necroticism

Haha. It seems like that until you really get into it.

[IheartSP]

Well I also like neither hardcore punk or death metal, and grind seems like a mix of the 2

Double thanks. :) It's fantastic people like you who make this world's **** bearable with amazing music.

[CaptainWaits]

I bought "Hatebreeder" today finally. Now I just need "Something Wild", but that can wait for a bit.

[IheartSP]

If you wanna download it, it's on the page before this one.

Hatebreeder is awesome, I love it.

[Shadows]

Hatebreeder is super-fantastic! Bodom's fastest, and I think rawest, album.

http://www.musicianalliance.net/Songs/Mungus%20Erectus%20-%2001%20-%20Anthropophagic%20Horticultural%20Mungfeast.mp3

Here's the song. I did the intro growl/background in the chorus/noises at the end.

Also, TSASI, the singer in your song is great :thumb: . I like the band too

Your voice is damn good too. :thumb: You guys kick ***.

The drumming is all programmed.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Drall on MX is the guy that did the main vocals through the verse and such.

[IheartSP]

Drall is a pretty cool guy I used to talk to him, he still has a squire after like 3 years of playing haha

I've never heard of this Drall guy, but he does great vocals.

[flamesofbodom]

Nice vocal work. I wish i could growl like that

I don't see why CoB fans have problems with it, and most of them are bigger fans than me

[Hells Bells]

Eeven tyjhough I have the CD, THANK YOU!!!!!

I"m kinda smashned now, so excuse the inability to spell and **** like that.

COB RULES!!! YEAHHHHHH!!!!!

WOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

I don't see why CoB fans have problems with it, and most of them are bigger fans than me
it is a great album, my favorite songs on it are You're Better Off Dead, Needled 24/7, Angels Don't Kill, well...all of them really :D

[Shadows]

There's no such thing as a bad Bodom song!! WOOOOOH!!! CHILDREN OF BODOM!! YEAH!!!

/generic statement

But from HCDR I like Needled 24/7, Sixpounder, Lil' Bloodred Ridinghood, and Hate Crew Deathroll.

[CaptainWaits]

it is a great album, my favorite songs on it are You're Better Off Dead, Needled 24/7, Angels Don't Kill, well...all of them really :D

Yeh I feel it's a good listen from start till end

[AA-12]

Hey guys, thank you very much for the feedback. Whenever we make the album i'll be sure that you guys get hooked up.

About HCD, I think it is a very strong album. I don't see why some people don't like it.

[Shadows]

Probably because of songs like Sixpounder. That song is based around heavy ruffage, which is the opposite of the all-lead-guitar style that Bodom used to devote themselves too. They take it as a sign of the band changing, and many think they're going downhill.

But then there are always those jackasses who think that whenever a band remotely changes their style it's immediately dubbed as "selling out". I hate those people with a firey passion.

Hah...

I got big hands, and big fingers, so that works out good for me. :thumb:

What i hate even more are the people who are ignorant towards metal...they think it all sounds like a big screaming mass of noise. I want to STRANGLE those people...they piss me off so much.

Me too. Especially since the people who always tell me that are ones who listen to pop, rap, and country.

They fail to realize that a single decent metal band has more talent than all of his music artists' combined.

[ween2424]

brilliant guitar playing.

My brother is kinda like that.

Yeah, I don't get that arguement either.

It's more of a fit of jealously, though.

Are they still married? :confused: Metal-Archives says they split up, but everywhere else I look says otherwise. If they did split up, Sinergy must be an awkwar situation for both of them.

[chorbalan]

Why in the hell did he even come close to her, she's fugly. Anyway does anyone know where I can find tabs for Rebel Yell (their cover of rebel yell) I'd love to learn how to play that.

[Shattered_Future]

What makes you think Alexi was gay?? :confused:

Anyhoo, Leah, it seems you know a LITTLE too much about Alexi. :p

[Taste_My_Scythe]

keyword: was. Not married anymore.

Mike - Hey. When I like a band, I also like to know a bit (*ahem*) about the people in the band. The snake tattoo that Alexi has on his hand? Kim Goss has it too; their wedding "rings".

[Shadows]

I was just trying to get the topic back on CoB. I knew Alexi was married, and consequently not gay.

Someone give me power metal. Right now.

EDIT: If they're not married now, than those tattoos must seem pretty stupid. And how the hell does Sinergy still go on?

I'm sorry to say I didn't notice either. It's nice to have him back anyway.

Anyway, I've really been getting into Finnish power metal. I might just make a thread on it. I found an awesome band who's basicaly very early Bodom (EXTREMELY neo-classical) with a slight Norther feel. Very damn cool.

[Dude3]

I know. Life over here is crazy as hell, too. For example: yesterday I had to wake up soooo early in the morning for my guitar lesson. Then after that, I played video games the entire day! Can you believe it? I'm very repressed...

Oh yeah. At one point I went shopping and bought a couple CDs and the new Harry Potter book.

[punchenello]

alexi laihos like one of the best out there

nahhh. but he's great.

12:00 (noon) - wake up
12:15 - go on computer
4:00 - STILL on computer
5:00 (usually) - dinner
5:30 - back on computer
11:30 to 12:30 on weekdays - That 70s Show (good to watch when you're barely functioning...extremely funny then.)
1:00 - bed

Repeat. It's a beautiful thing...

You get togo to bed as early as 1:00? I usually put off playing guitar for so long that by the time I'm finished, it's about 2:00-3:00. At least I get to see Conan.

Now that my brother's home from NY I'm forced to use the computer while waiting for him to finish with the TV. My life is ****.

It's variated...i go to bed whenever...usually 1.

Crap, i completely FORGOT ABOUT CONAN!!! I haven't seen him in so long...gotta stay up tonight and watch him. He's a great man... :p

I play guitar while watching T.V. occasionally...bass too. And when I'm waiting for cds to burn...come to think of it, i play guitar a lot while i do other stuff. Good at multitasking. :)

I never got the new Harry Potter yet...no doubt my mom's friend will send it to me for a birthday present though. She works in a bookstore. :p

[AA-12]

Like who? I'm not doubting you, but I'm interested to find out who.
Check out Shawn Lane. He's my music idol basically. He had so much knowledge of all kinds of instruments. Also, he complete blows away all of the shredders out there speed wise. I can do an upload if you want. You may not like the type of music though.

I play guitar while watching T.V. occasionally...bass too. And when I'm waiting for cds to burn...come to think of it, i play guitar a lot while i do other stuff. Good at multitasking. :)I wish I could multitask better. I always play guitar while watching TV, but if I could just force myself to play whener I've got nothing to do, I'd be a lot better.

Just finished headbanging to Bodom Beach Terror. Man, what a great song.

[Shattered_Future]

In all honesty (although this may be a bit biased), my dad could probably play circles around alot of existing guitar players...he's a great, great jazz guitarist.

Jazz guitarists are very sweet. :) I'll be there eventually, now that my teacher has actually started me on jazz. If I could just start seriously shredding I would be very content.

Isn't it though? I love that song. The first time I heard it was on Trashed in Helsinki. Because when I got the TLS EP, I didn't have HateCrew Deathroll, so I didn't know any of the songs they were playing in the background.

Here, this song is completely improvised by Shawn Lane and his band. Near the end he starts shredding, but it's not his fastest. It's a bit too hard to hear on this recording though.

It's one of my all time favorite songs.

I'm sorry to say I didn't notice either. It's nice to have him back anyway.

Anyway, I've really been getting into Finnish power metal. I might just make a thread on it. I found an awesome band who's basicaly very early Bodom (EXTREMELY neo-classical) with a slight Norther feel. Very damn cool.

Wow, this is the first time I've been on since Friday, and I saw my posts from them....how horribly embarrassing lol, next time I get home from a bar, I'll go to bed, and avoid making an *** out of myself.

Anyway, I like the sound of that band ShadowsFallen, I like power/neoclassical metal. Thanks :thumb:

It's cool. I'm glad we all love good metal, but I didn't even say the name of the band yet. :)

I don't know how many of you know of the band Imperanon, but I just discovered them. They've only released one album so far ("Stained") but they are extremely good Finnish neoclassical power metal. Take elements of Follow the Reaper-era Bodom and combine that with the atmosphere and vocal style of Norther. I'm in the process of downloading their album right now.

If I'm bringing up a very common band, someone stop me now before I truly look like an ***.

[AA-12]

I thought you said Staind, as the band at first. :lol:

[Shadows]

I thought you said Staind, as the band at first. :lol:
No, it's the name of the album.

I don't remember the band Staind playing neoclassical lately. :rolleyes:

[Shattered_Future]

Staind playing neoclassical...isn't that like Ashlee Simpson playing black metal? A "never happen in a million years" event?

Although Staind's "Dysfunction" wasn't that bad...

I have heard of Imperanon before, but never heard them...come to think of it, i don't know anything about the band besides their name. Will check them out later...

On a HUGE side note, my Human Clay review is up...go leave comments. :thumb:

With no keyboard, the songs would sound weird and naked, and because the keyboard is like infused into the songs, most of their songs wouldn't work.

Here's a basic schedule:

12:00 (noon) - wake up
12:15 - go on computer
4:00 - STILL on computer
5:00 (usually) - dinner
5:30 - back on computer
11:30 to 12:30 on weekdays - That 70s Show (good to watch when you're barely functioning...extremely funny then.)
1:00 - bed

Repeat. It's a beautiful thing...

Imperanon is great. I got heard about them around the same time I heard about Norther, Wintersun and Kalmah. I tend to compare them, as they are alike in some ways, if not the genre. I'd have to say that Kalmah is my favorite of the group, but they are all good. I love Blade (Imperanon)...great song.

EDIT: Speaking of summer, my summer has pretty much sucked since I got back from Italy. There have been highlights; going to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with friends, seeing my best friend yesterday, and playing loads of guitar, but that's it. Unfortunately, two of my best friends live far away from me, and the other I've grown apart from, so I haven't really hung out with anyone all that much. It gets lonely, let me tell you.

[Thor]

I can't say that I have a favorite CoB album because they are all great. It depends what mood I am in. Lately I have been listening to Hatebreeder a whole lot and really enjoying it.

[IheartSP]

I'm not really an imperanon fan, I think they have good potential later on, but the harsh vocals don't fit at all. It sounds liek straight power metal unlike Bodom who has speed metal elements, and sometimes the cheesy upbeat melodies and the harsh vocals really don't mix at all.

But on a different note....

I went to Ozzfest yesterday, and it was AWESOME! I got there after the 2nd stage was ending becuase I didn't care about any of those bands, and I sat down in my seat and waited for about half an hour until In Flames came on. They did a pretty bad job, it was hard to hear the guitar, and they didn't play any old songs, and the new stuff was pretty crappy.

Next came Black Label Society, and by that point, the whole entire lawn behind me turned into a giant mud fight. It was literally raining mud and the back row of the pavilion where I was got all caught up in it, and you couldn't watch the concert unless you were contempt with being hit iwth mud every once in a while. I maybe caught 1 song of BLS, I think it was Suicide Messiah, and they did pretty good. I was too caught up in the mud fight to really pay attention.

When Shadows Fall came out, the mud thing was dying down a bit and I wanted to watch the show. They were a band who I think is ok, and pretty good as far as new american metal goes, but they were amazing live. I liked their stuff studio and thought it was decent but when they played live they just did amazing. I really liked how Jon Donais did especially with the solos. I went and got something to eat before Mudvayne came on, and there was this fence blocking off the backstage. The fence was broken into 2 parts, with a 3 inch or so crack inbetween, and I looked in and saw Brian Fair of Shadows Fall. I yelled his name, and he looked around and couldn't see where it was coming from, I yelled again and this stupid guy who works there told me to leave. I was so close to talking to him!

I went back and sat down while Mudvayne was playing and it was so terrible! The fat lead singer was in some black jumpsuit and he had this gay makeup on, and he cannot sing it was horrendus, nor can the guitarist play the guitar. I started booing them and a lot of people joined in, and they said, everyone is entitled to their opinion and that's ok, but I was just satisfied that they acknowledged our boos. They played for way longer than they should have and eventually it was over and the real show would begin...

The mudfight was all over after Mudvayne, and eventually Maiden came out. They started off with Wrathchild, and the bassline in the beginning was cool as usual, but then, nothing else kicked in. Bruce was up their singing but you couldn't hear a thing, same with the guitars and the drums. You could faintly hear the acoustic drums but I guess there was a problem and only the bass was plugged in. I was really worried I thought it was a joke or something. The crowd was even booing them and I felt terrible, I'd never boo Maiden I didn't think it was the right choice of thing to say. Anyway, they went into The Trooper and all of a sudden the volume just kicked in. Bruce ran out with a Lobsterback jacket and a British flag and they totally rocked the place! Bruce sounded a bit weird during the song but it wasn't that noticeable. After the song they apologized for Wrathchild, and said that during the night they'd only be playing things from the first four albums. They did all the classics like Number of the Beast, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Run To The Hills, Phantom of the Opera, Iron Maiden, Revelations, and Running Free. During Number of the Beast, a big devil came out, and when they did the 666 it would flash in big letters on the screen behind them. Eddie came out during Iron Maiden and battled Janick as usual. Anyway the show was just plain amazing and I was screaming my lungs out, I had never seen anything like that.

Sabbath came out about 45 min later and they sounded pretty good. After a few songs it was really boring, and the only one they did exceptional on was Black Sabbath. I left while Ozzy was saying if we cheered really loud they'd do one more song. I really liked what they did with the lighting and such and had some cool moving backdrops.

Overall, Ozzfest was really awesome, between Maiden and a giant mudfight it was so cool. When we left there wasn't a blade of grass left in the lawn.

:lol: exactly what i would expect from some1 who likes maiden....they dont have any melody but i still like them

[Shattered_Future]

Mudvayne had a few decent songs...overall, they are kinda bad though.

How'd Bruce sound doing D'Anno's (sp? Iron Maiden's singer from the first 2 albums) parts on his songs? They have 2 different voices...

And yes, from what I've seen, In Flames sounds really crappy live.

Why didn't you go see the second stage? I heard it was better than the first...Arch Enemy was on it, along with a few other good bands.

[AA-12]

Their singer just screams things and the guitarist has absolutely no melody its all just slop.
That's the point in a way, haha. They are like a technical death version of nu metal. All the members are extremely talented, but only some people can get into the music. I'd kill to be as good as their bassist.

[IheartSP]

I don't listen to metalcore or death metal, so the 2nd stage didn't have anything for me.

Bruce has always done fine with Di'Anno's songs I think he usually does them better.

[Forlorn Hope]

[IheartSP]

[AA-12]

They will, trust me.

I'm glad you liked Shadows Fall. Their studio stuff is excellent, but they're even better live. Jon Donais never ceases to impress me.

Norther has better vocals, and lately more interesting melodies. Not to mention the cold, atmospheric keyboards with the always appropriate piano.

The only thing that would make them better is if they would shred like Alexi once in a while.

exact same thing me i really dident like em

[Shadows]

Haha, I guess you have to really like their kind of music.
It's not that I don't like their music, I just have the same problem with them that I do with most every progressive band. They take a good sound and stretch it out WAY WAY WAAAAAAAAYYYY too long. I have Orchid, for instance. I love In Mist She Was Standing...for the first few minutes. They just stretch it out and repeat too much for my taste.

I'd still place Opeth on a higher level than most progressive. Can't get enough of their acoustic stuff. :)

EDIT: I rather do enjoy Deliverence, though.

[AA-12]

There has to be at least one song out there you like by them. They have a very varied set of songs.

EDIT: To the other guy.

[Shattered_Future]

Opeth...it depends on what song I listen to.

If i listen to stuff off of Blackwater Park, Damnation, or Morningrise, i can usually listen to the whole song.

If it's off of Orchid, its kinda long and repetitive...

Ah, gotcha. I'm the kind of guy that can listen to prog band that has songs pushing 20 minutes.

[Shadows]

Ah, gotcha. I'm the kind of guy that can listen to prog that has songs pushing 20 minutes.
I could too, if there's enough variety. Most Opeth I've heard has the same riffs repeated over and over. Maybe I just need to check out more Opeth. I've heard great things about Morningrise and My Arms, Your Hearse, but I've never heard it.

[Shattered_Future]

Do you have Blackwater Park? That's a great album by them...

Morningrise is good, but not as cracked up as everybody says it is. It really sounds like the band just wrote a lot of random (though superb) riffs and mashed them together to form a song.

Haven't heard MAYH, so can't comment on that...

[AA-12]

MAYH is their best.

[Shadows]

I don't have Blackwater Park. I had it downloaded for a while, but I never listened to it and just deleted it after a while.

Which album has Black Rose Immortal? I've heard it's the most amazing song in the history of the world.

Morningrise. It's not all that good to me. Advent and The Night and The Silent Water are much better songs on that album. Some of the best riffing i've ever heard.

[Shattered_Future]

Morningrise.

It really ISN'T the greatest song ever...parts of it are superb, but on the whole, the song really sounds like a compilation effort. It's a bunch of riffs smashed together to form a song...once a riff is played, it's never played again in the song.

That's part of the reason why I turn away from some Opeth...not enough repetition.

A lot of repetition is horrible, but so is almost none. There has to be a little to really hold my interest.

[Shadows]

I'll give them another try. The stuff on Orchid impressed me but some of their newer material (which I haven't heard much of) just left me bored and unenthusiastic.

/downloads

And, S_F, I get what you mean about repetition. Too much makes a song very boring, but next to none makes a song very unpredictable and random. More like they took ideas for several songs and threw them all into one single track.

No i've been a p2p person for a long time, but everyone makes a big deal out of Soulseek they made it out to be different than other p2ps. I don't see the big deal now though, Limewire gets the job done fine.

[Shadows]

It's no different than any other p2p program. This one is just great for metal.

SoulSeek is much faster, has more stuff, and is spyware free. That's why I converted.

[IheartSP]

I got every single Norther song in existence on Limewire, I don't see why you'd need Soulseek, plus it keeps freezing my computer.

[Shadows]

plus it keeps freezing my computer.
That would be a problem with your computer. I've used slsk for over a year and it's been nothing short of amazing for me.

[IheartSP]

My computer is terrible anything will freeze it...

[Huber]

SoulSeek is much faster, has more stuff, and is spyware free.

I also like how much easier it is to get one album at a time, instead of getting song a time.

Soulseek is awesome.

Yeah, I love that. Everyone has full albums basically on there.

[Shattered_Future]

Soulseek not for Mac... :upset:

Probably better anyway...i would totally abuse that program.

No one talks about Children of Bodom anymore, this is now the Hatecrew community thread.

[Mr. Squiggles]

No one talks about Children of Bodom anymore, this is now the Hatecrew community thread.

That is kinda true.

Here I'll talk about Children of Bodom. I think alot of the names of the new songs off the new album thats coming out are stupid.

[IheartSP]

I agree, and ever since HCDR I really do not enjoy the punk oriented attitude both musically and lyrically that the band is taking.

[Mr. Squiggles]

Yeah, I don't really like the punk-ish road they are taking either.

[IheartSP]

It seems the more punk they put in the less power metal they put in. I'd hesitate to call HCDR power/speed metal, I think it's closer to the american new thrash scene like LoG or Shadows Fall.

Nice job on Powerchord Rock's avatar. It looks sweet. How are the other ones comin(not to pressure you)

I know, imo the older albums are so much better. HCDR is ok but it's missing somthing and I'm afraid the new album is going to be missing even more. I hope Children of Bodom don't compleatly lose their sound.

TSASI

Dude, I made that. I must have missed somthing. Was TSASI supossed to be making avatars for people or somthing?

[IheartSP]

Yeah I hope they go back to their powermetal roots sometime. Not to say HCDR and the new album aren't good, it's just not good compared to other Bodom.

[Mr. Squiggles]

Yeah I hope they go back to their powermetal roots sometime. Not to say HCDR and the new album aren't good, it's just not good compared to other Bodom.

Yeah, I'll definatly be somewhat dissapointed if they don't.

[JacksonRR3guy]

Not to degrade from Children of Bodom but I liked when they were Inearthed. I have great respect for the sound of SW through HCDR, but I did notice that they were going down hill (slowly) I hope Are You Dead Yet? doesn't turn out to be sh*t.

[Shadows]

I wouldn't say that Children of Bodom's new style is remotely punk. More like the heavier American metal. But they still have many of the same keyboard elements and guitar riffs they used to, so I'm not too disappointed. HCDR was basically their old style, but with actual riffage instead od palm muted power chords.

But songs like Knuckleduster, on the other hand, I'm not so happy about.

[JacksonRR3guy]

There are always people that trash a band because of a few dud albums but **** can Alexi play the guitar. I enjoy that they use harmonies between the other guitar and keyboard. Speaking of which if you enjoy the keyboard you should check out Janne's Band Warmen.

[Shadows]

I've been meaning to get some Warmen. The description on metal-archives makes it sound like an excellent project.

[JacksonRR3guy]

I didn't really notice a change between previous member Alexander to Roope. They made a good choice in asking him to join.

[JacksonRR3guy]

I do not think that Alexi and Kim's band Sinergy is that great, but then again I haven't heard many songs.

[IheartSP]

Warmen sounds like Stratovarius without vocals and way too many keyboard solos.

[JacksonRR3guy]

Another thing Alexi has to work on his vocals...they have gotten better since Something Wild ,but it still needs more improvement, I will be amazed if he can go from the screaming rasp to a Dimmu Borgir sounding vocal harmony. I hope that makes sense.

[Shattered_Future]

The lead from Dimmu Borgir is just as bad as Alexi's voice...

Unless you mean their clean singer.

[Shadows]

Something Wild vocals > any vocals after that

His screaming now sucks. I liked it way back in the day when he had a black metal type scream.

[JacksonRR3guy]

The lead from Dimmu Borgir is just as bad as Alexi's voice...

Unless you mean their clean singer.
There clean singer

[JacksonRR3guy]

There clean singer
For instance the singing part in Prodigies of a great apocalypse

[Shattered_Future]

There clean singer

No offense, but that's THE stupidest idea I've ever heard.

Bodom with clean vocals would be a disaster. Their vocals (however bad they may be) are part of what makes the band who they are.

[Shadows]

I always found that the most (and only) appealing thing about Dimmu is the vocals. Shagrath, while he may not have the greatest voice, just seems very charismatic to me. This coming from a guy who hated Dimmu with a passion until I discovered I liked one of thier albums a few months ago.

[JacksonRR3guy]

Maybe I Alexi just played lead and they found a new singer someone between David Dramer (disturbed) and Jesse Leech(killswitch engaged)...I don't know it's just a thought.

[Shattered_Future]

I love the band's image.

They try WAY too hard, and look comical doing it. :lol:

[JacksonRR3guy]

A mix of Death Metal rasping and some clean vocals

[IheartSP]

are you just naming random singers, and are you crazy?

Bodom only fits with their vocals end of story.

[Shadows]

Are you crazy???? Not only would those vocals not work at all with Bodom's sound, but Alexi IS CoB. Without him screaming the band just wouldn't be CoB anymore (which is a big part of why Synergy isn't the greatest band). Maybe if they worked in some death metal vocals - that might be cool.

Bodom's comically aggressive image is the other half of the band.

[JacksonRR3guy]

I love the rasping, but it gets tiring listening to a song 10 times to hear what the f**k he's saying

[Hells Bells]

That's why you have sites like darklyrics.com ;)

If you prefer music where you can tell what the vocalist is saying, then I don't think metal is your genre.

[JacksonRR3guy]

Ok forget anything I have said...

[Shattered_Future]

Here's your basic Bodom lyrics breakdown:

1. It always involves either the Bodom murders, death, pain, or something pointy

2. Expect to hear curses in the song. (these you can always pick out)

There you go. Now you're all set. :thumb:

EDIT: He could always try traditional power metal...

[JacksonRR3guy]

I liked them in 96 with Inearthed and I like them now as Cob. They have a unique sound in what and in the way they play, but you're right vocals don't make the band the fans do.

[IheartSP]

lol Bodom has horrendus lyrics anyway. No offense to Alexi but he writes terrible lyrics. And I can understand most of what he says after listening to harsh vocals for long enough. Personally, I think harsh vocals pale in comparison to good clean vocals like Maiden, but I think bands like Wintersun do an excellent job of mixing them.

[Shadows]

I've come to the conclusion that Alexi's a pretty decent guitarist.

[Hells Bells]

I always found that the most (and only) appealing thing about Dimmu is the vocals. Shagrath, while he may not have the greatest voice, just seems very charismatic to me. This coming from a guy who hated Dimmu with a passion until I discovered I liked one of thier albums a few months ago.

What album's that? I'm not into black metal, and as a result never got into Dimmu, but I'd like to hear some stuff by the band before making a judgement on them.

[Shattered_Future]

I always found Maiden's vocals a tad irritating...

My preference of vocals: female singers in metal. No matter how they sing, they pull it off great.
