Children Of Bodom | Hatebreeder

Scott — Sat, 03 May 2008 16:44:48 +0000

As usual I’m back peddling on a band that I recently came to be a fan of in the past few months. Spinefarm and Fontana International re-released 4 older Children Of Bodom CDs this past week and I picked up Hatebreeder. Next I will probably pick up Follow The Reaper. I can see where people say they like older C.O.B. better. I like Hatebreeder. It seems a bit heavier than the new albums and one thing I can say about Children Of Bodom is that they are pretty consistent with their music. They are one of those bands that if you had not heard all their material you could still easily identify them as soon as you hear a new song that you haven’t heard before. So far this is what I have and in order of how much I like them. With a few more listens, Hatebreeder may be at the top very soon.

Expanding My Metal Horizons

Scott — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 01:27:19 +0000

As most of you know, since I started writing for this blog I have expanded the range of metal that I listen to. I try to open my mind and see what else is out there constantly. Sometimes It takes me a few times listening to a specific sub-genre or band for me to get into them. Two bands that I tried to get into before but just couldn’t because I was deep into something else at the time are Children Of Bodom and Dimmu Borgir.

Dimmu Borgir I have started to like in the last few months but tonight is the first time I bought one of their CDs. I bought In Sorte Diaboli tonight. FYE only had two CDs of Dimmu, Sorte and another one I wasn’t interested enough to remember the title. This one was suggested to me and I already like The Serpentine Offering anyway so I figured it was a good start. So far I’m diggin it. No complaints.

As far as Children Of Bodom go, I have really been liking the new songs I’ve heard online and I have heard a lot of people talk about Hate Crew Deathroll so I picked that one up. It took me a little time to get into the vocal style of bands like COB and I like the music. I’m not a huge keyboard fan but something about C.O.B. makes me like the way it blends well with the rest of the band. So far I’m diggin this a bit more than the Dimmu right now.

I tried looking for an Immortal CD but F.Y.E. is very limited and they didn’t have any. I sampled a bit of Darkthrone and wasn’t really impressed right off the bat but I’ll give it a second listen. I gave the new Death Angel and Kingdom Of Sorrow (Sounds like a slowed down Hatebreed) a quick listen and it sounded cool but I was more interested in the Dimmu Borgir and C.O.B. and I didn’t feel like spending too much cash at the “Sell-out” cd store (WTF Ever). So I’m gonna kick back for the rest of the night, drink some Heineken Lights (gotta watch the waist-line) and maybe even play some Guitar Hero if I feel up to it and see if I can stay awake long enough to check out Talking Metal on fuse.
