What genre would you call these guys?

Power Metal with harsh vocals

Thats exactly what I told this kid and he went off saying how they have absolutely no pwer metal influence at all, and that his vocals are pansy.

we were discussing Hatebreeder.

Just eat him and be done with it.

Does anyone think there will ever be official tab books. I just wonder because Alexi had done videos, and has had columns in magazines where he himself shown everyone the correct way to play stuff... maybe he will make official tab books if he ever has time... well... I can only hope...

Quoted for truth. Every Bodom fan must know this.

Chokehold is really fun to play...Alexi Laiho is god.

Possibly, but I doubt it. They're just not popular at enough. It wouldn't be Alexi anyway - for those "official" tab books, it's not done by the artists themselves, it's done by other people who are paid to transcribe the band's music.

It's only true for like two albums anyways.

what do u mean?

[QUOTE=Sliptallica]It's only true for like two albums anyways.[/QUOTE]
Actually, it's true for all albums except AYDY.

You think so? I don't hear much Power Metal at all in the later releases, but meh. It all boils down to metal.

Follow the Reaper? That's their most Scandinavian power metal album ever. HCDR was a little less, but it was still definitely power metal.

I think Something Wild - FTR were all definately power metal albums. HCDR is debatable, there is certainly influence but not necesarily enough to call it powermetal.

I wouldn't call HCDR power metal, I think it's just generic metal. This also goes with their new album.

HCDR is power metal. It has stuff like Needled 24/7, and has tons of cheesy lead guitar and keyboard thrown everywhere into every song.

Well I guess you could say that was power metal, but the lyrics aren't fantasy based like Rhapsody.

CoB never had cheesy lyrics, it was always the hilarious violence/aggression/hate stuff that gave them the "heavy metal in your face!" appearence.

The lyrics were never fantasy based. This band is about the music, which is certainly power metal

Whatever they are they kick A s s, but i beleive they're Black/death metal instrumentally and black/power vocally. By the way rhapsody is really stupid.

Metallion666 expect to get banned soon unless you read the rules. That was a really dumb and uneducated post.

First off, you should have a mild understanding of genres. Besides Something Wild, there is no black metal in Bodom, and Something Wild only has small hints of it. Death Metal? That's just gotta be a joke, The vocals also have no power metal in them at all, I don't know what you think powermetal vocals are, but if you think that's what they are you are crazy, Rhapsody's vocals are powermetal vocals.

Second of all don't blatantly bash bands without backup. Whether you think Rhapsody is stupid or not your gonna sound dumb saying it like that.

Well that's not always the case, Iced Earth bases their songs around lyrics all of the time.

Horror Show was based around lryics, mind you.

[QUOTE=Metallion#666]Black/death metal instrumentally and black/power vocally. [/QUOTE]
Just add in power metal and remove black in the instrumental part.

[QUOTE=Metallion#666]By the way rhapsody is really stupid.[/QUOTE]

Rhapsody > Most bands.

*irrelivance*

Am I the only Iced Earth fan who thinks Horror Show was like way better than the other albums? I've only heard two songs so maybe I can't judge, but I hate Barlows vocals on every album besides that one. On that album they are completely different, and I think much much more powerful. I've heard Wolf and Dracula which are two of the best songs I've ever heard by a powermetal band. No one ever seems to mention them though and always go on about A Question of Heaven or some song like that, which I am not too fond of.

sorry, but children of bodom are classed as power metal all the way in my book.

It's my second favorite.

Misfortunately, I've never heard any Iced Earth. :(

Im talking specifically about Bodom :confused:

I really like iced earth, exept the glorious burden is really cheesy.

Cheesy? Have you heard Gettysburg?

[QUOTE=Sliptallica]Cheesy? Have you heard Gettysburg?[/QUOTE]

I know. I really like Iced earth, but the songs are about American history...=cheesy.

[QUOTE=Metallion#666]I know. I really like Iced earth, but the songs are about American history...=cheesy.[/QUOTE]

How is that cheesy? Have you taken a US History or Government class? American History is full of remarkable events. Most very heartfelt. Being serious and writing lyrics about that isn't cheesy.

Im amazingly sick of US History. Its way too repetitive, maybe b/c ive taken it for 9 years?

My AP US History class is taught by an animated right-wing genius. It keeps it really interesting.

Music Should Not Be Educational!
