CHILDREN OF BODOM

Release Year: 2005
Artist Origin: FIN
Style: aggressive choppy straightforward melodic metal

marking tenth year anniversary as a band with a change, COB get remarkably involved into chunky, straightened up, yet still highly melodic action, leaving their more intense and aggressive roots slightly behind - this drastic move has gained them an army of [pseudo]haters, while critics started talking too much about essential career change with a plain pragmatic aim to reach much wider audience; with emphasis put on clear, dramatic leads, slower yet also heavier rhythm section, and venomous provoking vocals, dudes have nothing to lose indeed, simply enjoying the momentum, introducing along a new band member, seasoned guitar player Roope Latvala [Stone, Waltari]
