A Finnish Melodic Death Metal band who were brilliantly
awesome with the unique entwining of guitar and keyboard solos. Until one day they met the representatives of
MTV. They decided to destroy all their melodic nature (except for the keyboard) and replaced it with
cold, tinny, muddy, industrial sound. This appealled to the teenagers with severe surplus of angst, a.k.a almost ALL teenagers, and made megabucks from them.
CoB were brilliant back in the day, but since Are You Dead Yet they're not up to the same standard. Some
may blame this on their attempt to lose their Power Metal image, but lost their last remnants of songwriting
talent instead.
Oh well, back to Kalmah.
