Anyone like Children of Bodom? I personally find that they are a truely great band. Combining Power Metal, Melodic Death Metal, and Melodic Black Metal all together in such a beutiful blend. The guitars are BEUTIFUL and the vocals are just WICKED!

You need a "Uuuuh... What?" Option.

I second that

I've never been a fan of this genre of music.

-Nasty-

Children of Bodom are melodic death metal with various other musical genres mixed into them. They combine dark and screaming vocals with awsome keyboards, and definitly out-of-here guitars. The drums are realy good to. The band is definitly unique in the death metal industry.

I own a CD of theirs. However, I find it a little boring. Plus, I don't listen to music, cuz I'm lazy. Mur!

Had to vote for the last option on principle.  I've never heard anybody describe "screaming vocals" as a good thing before now...

dude, you sensored $uck but not ass. that makes no sense.

i was going to get a sample track off their website, and weigh in intelligently, but they APPARENTLY dont believe in sample tracks. cuz i aint seeing none.

Yeah, I also tried to listen to them, but couldn't find anything.  I may check amazon.com later to see if they have some clips anywhere.

They definitly have tracks on Amazon. Easiest way of getting stuff is to DL it. I could post a song up.... or not. It seems these boards don't support attatchements.

added mp3, wav, and ogg (OGG!) to list of good files. but dont do anything to get us in trouble here ;)

Found a couple tracks (my school has free Napster), and I stand by my former opinion.  Call me an oppressive, tyrannical traditionalist (really, you would flatter me to do so ;)) but I simply prefer the era when lyrics were sung, not screamed or rapped.

me, i can dig screamed lyrics at climax or something, but probably  not as a general rule. most of my problem with rap, though, IS the lyrics:

"oh no, you;re surrounded by women who are all up on you just because you're so rich? you pitiful, pitiful BASTARD."

Quote from: Kalos MerCall me an oppressive, tyrannical traditionalist (really, you would flatter me to do so ;)) but I simply prefer the era when lyrics were sung, not screamed or rapped.

And calling you that is an insult to the oppressive, tyrannical traditionalists of the world :)

I guess that style of music is more of a specilized genre made for us angry people *shakes fist* :P

Oh, I doubt very much that that's it.  You see, I'm quite angry myself, much of the time.

I think it has to do somewhat with the nature of your anger.

People still listen to Death Metal??? :band:

I've always been more of a Viking/Barbarian/Pagan Metal fan(which is just a bunch of black metal subgroups) but sometimes I listen to Bodom. My only question is why they bother to sing in English when Finnish is so much better, but then again, I ask that about every Finnish metal band.

Oh yeah, I have... the... oh crap I forgot again...

*shuffle shuffle*

HATEBREEDER!

Personally I'm not a big CoB fan, although I know people who swear by them.
I won't deny that they're good technical musicians, but the music they create seems quite bland and uninspiring to me.
The vocals also put me off a bit - not that I don't like a good bit of screaming or death grunting, but there's something about the way the guy from CoB does it that I don't like.
There was one riff on the middle section of a song called Black Widow that was pretty crazy though. I liked that bit. But it was only like eight bars or something.
