One of the Best progressive/melodic death metal bands ever. Alexi Laiho, the guitarist, is one of the best guitarists in the world, and isn't too bad at singing either. Other members include Jaska Raatikainen, who plays the drums; Henkka Blacksmith, who plays the bass; Janne Warman, who plays the keyboard; and lastly, Alexander Kuoppala, who recently left the band, and has been replaced for the time being with Roope Latvala. The band's name came from one of the biggest murder mysteries in the band's home country of Finland, nearly 45 years ago, which revolved around 4 kids camping near lake bodom. 3 of the 4 were violently murdered, and the fourth was put in a mental instutution. It has come out recently though, that the fouth kid was the murderer. Children of Bodom's music is a blend of metal, and neoclassical melodies. Their latest album, Hatecrew Deathroll, has at least one great solo in every single song. If you haven't checked them out yet, do so. I command it.
Their albums and EPs:
1)Something Wild
2)Children of Bodom
3)Downfall
4)Hatebreeder
5)Tokyo Warheats (live album)
6)HATE ME!
7)Follow the Reaper
8)You're Better Off Dead!
9)Hatecrew Deathroll
10) Trashed, Lost & Strungout

An awesome power/speed metal (of sorts) from frosty Finland. They named themselves after a murder case in Finland a few years ago.
They are fronted by the awesome Alexei Laiho whom I thought was a hot chick on first brief glance at a photo. I was mistaken. However, he would make an awesome lady.

Children Of Bodom are MANLY

Almost all the above definitions stand good.Children of Bodom have the heaviest distortions, the best double bass drums,lowest bass,evil perpetual resonating vocals, all of these combined hold the capability to rip apart any high range speaker system.A lot of their tracks are very uplifting.Tracks like "everytime i die", "in the shadows", "bed of razors", are among others absofuckiglutely worth a high volume listen.The best part about this band is almost all of the tracks have short, fast paced, heavy instrumentals between them.All in All, DADDY's!!

An awesome band from Finland. Alexi is insane at playing the guitar. They named themselves after a murder at Lake Bodom. They're a kick ass band.
